Abdomen without any indications of sutures, elongate oval, rather more slender than usual, its thickest portion scarcely beyond the middle; its surface longitudi- nally aciculate with occasional reticulations. Legs, or at least the posterior femora dark in color. Wings rather strongly infuscated. Type.—No. 2341, M. C. Z., Florissant, Col. (No. 9150, S. H. Seudder Coll.). The type is not very well preserved, but is evidently specifically distinct from the other specimens of Chelonus in the collection. Chelonus solldus, sp. nov. (Fig. 81.) Length mm. Dark colored or black, the antennae including the scape light brown. Head finely rugulose, but not at all aciculated. Antennae not preserved at the tip, but their basal portion is apparently normal. Mesonotum rather finely rugose or coriaceous, the pleurae very coarsely rugose, especially below. Metanotum not visible as the legs are ex- tended directly above it. Abdo- men obovate, the thickest part near the tip; no traces of any transverse sutures. Its surface finely rugose reticulate as is usual in the genus. Wings hyaline, the stigma and veins dark. Venation not well enough indicated to describe. One specimen, No. A126, collected by Mr. S. A. Rohwer at Station 14. Type in the collection of the Amer. Mus. Nat. Fig. Chelonus solidus sp. nov. Type. Chelonus depressus, sp. nov. Female? Length mm. Color black or very dark, the antennae, and the legs, except the posterior femora and tibiae rather light brown. An- tennae two-thirds as long as the body, about 25-30-jointed, setaceous, the small joints toward the apex quadrate-moniliform, and the larger basal joints from two to three times as long as thick; scape globose. Body rather strongly sculptured. lace confluently punctate, the front above, and the vertex also t
