Length 9-11 mm.; .3r» inch. North shore of Lake Superior; New ^Mexico. I have inadvertently mentioned this species in the list of Coleoptera of Lake Superior as C. ob- liqum, a European species which is quite diflerent. 2. S. cristatus, n. sp. Black, densely, finely pimctured, clothed with white pubescence; beak strongly carinate, carina ending anteri(jrly in a fovea, prolonged backwards upon the head, broadl}' and deeply sulcaic each side, lateral edges acute, well defined, ui)p('r surface sparsely, sides more densely coarselj' punc- tured. Prothorax of the same form as in the preceding, but the postocular lobes have a short fringe of hair, the sides are nearly straight and parallel, the base is less enuirginate, ami the Imsal and medial angles are less j)r<mii- nent; the pubescence seems denser at the sides than on the disc; sculpture as in K Elytra with striic of siialler and more approximate punc- tures; humeri not oblicpu'ly truncnte, but rounded and not prominent, sides feclly rounded, not subsinuate, less distinctly obliipiel}' prolonged near the tii)s which are conjointly, not separately rouixled; traces are seen of two dark oblique bands. licngth 11] mm.; .50 incii.
