The spots on elytra are reddish and usu- ally located two at base, one on sutural margin near middle, another behind the middle and one on tip. IX. Prometopia Erichs. 1843. (Gr., "before + spot") This genus is represented in the eastern United States and Indi- ana by a single species having the thorax deeply emarginate in front, with sides broadly flattened; mandibles prominent and bifid at tip; antennffi slender, first joint stout, third very long, club elongate- oval. *1235 (3725). Peombtopia sexmacuiata Say, Journ. Phil. Acad. Nat. Sci., V, 1825, 179; Ibid. II, 285. Broadly oval, depressed. Piceous, with the margins, un- der parts, an irregular humeral band and a spot on apical third of each elytron, pale reddish-brown. Thorax twice as wide as long, narrower in front, sides feebly curved, hind angles rectangular; disk rather sparsely punctate with coarse and fine punctures Intermingled. Elytra as wide as Kg. 242. X 3i. long (male) or longer than wide (female), the surface sparse- (Oripnai.) ly ^n^ coarsely punctate. Length 5-6 mum. (Fig. 242.) Southern half of State, frequent; much less so in the northern counties. Hibernates with the next species beneath logs and bark and remains motionless, adhering closely to logs when shelter is re- moved ; in spring at sap. January 18-December 20. X. PHBNOLiA*Erichs. 1843.
