Florissant, Col. (No. 7,646 S. H. Scudder Coll.). Probably not a true Oligomerus since the head is larger and the prothorax shorter and higher than in the modern species. For the present, I prefer to leave it here rather than erect a new genus for its reception. Anobium durescens Scudder. I have referred to this species a specimen, No. 2,527 M. C. Z. (No. 12,026 S. H.

For the present, I prefer to leave it here rather than erect a new genus for its reception. Anobium durescens Scudder. I have referred to this species a specimen, No. 2,527 M. C. Z. (No. 12,026 S. H. Scudder Coll.). It differs from the type in being 1 mm. longer, (length mm., as compared with mm. in the original), but I can find no other tangible difference. BOSTRICHIDAE. Amphicerus sublaevis, sp. nov. Plate 6, fig. 4. Form stout. Head large. Prothorax, in side view, subcuneiform, the back not much arched, surface comparatively smooth and without defined asperities. Elytron a little more than twice the prothoracic length, faintly substriate, otherwise nearly smooth, without teeth on the declivity. The only leg showing is one of the hind pair, which is very small and relatively weak. Length, from front of pronotum to apex of elytra, mm. Described from one specimen. Type.— No. 2,524 M. C. Z. Florissant, Col. (No. 14,250 S. H. Scudder Coll.). This is a little larger than Xylobiops lacustre and is much smoother. The fossil Dinoderus cuneicollis is much smaller. I have placed it in Amphicerus in spite of the lack of prothoracic armature because of the general likeness to the New Mexican A. brevicollis, which, judging from material received from Prof. D. E. Merrill, is the female of A. grandicollis. Xylobiops lacustre Wickham. One specimen, No. 2,525 M. C. Z. (No. 14,247 S. H. Scudder Coll.)..
