(.''s type of A. niaculata was from In- diana—Levette collection—without definite locality. It is probably of not more than varietal rank. Iitcolia lo)igipi)iiiis Casey, elongate, parallel, blackish, sides of thorax and streak on elytra paler, length mm., was described as being doubtfiiUv from Indiana. III. ;. Casey. 1900. To this geiULS Casey ascribes two .species, one being that usually listed under the ^lycetophagicLv as Triplujllua hiiinnnlis Kirby. The club of antenn* is loosely three-jointed; thorax not flattened at sides, the base broadly lobed at middle and as Avide as the base of elytra, so that the sides of both form a continuous arc • eyes small, very short and stronoly transverse.
