sagebrush (Artemisia heterophylla). Nothing else is known of the biology or life history ofthis species. Api on wickhami Kissinger Figs.48, 139 Apion wichhami Kissinger, 1960:87 (holotype, Laramie, Wyo.; USNM); O'Brien and Wibmer 1982:28. Perapion wickhami : Kissinger L968:22. Description. Length 2.4 mm. Body elongate, moderately robust, black. Pubescence conspicuous, consisting ofdense, white scales, these not concealing integument, uniformly placed except slightly denser on a short sutural stripe immediately behind scutellum. Frons as wide as dorsal tip of rostrum, irregularly punctured. Rostrum, in both sexes, slightly curved, subcylindrical, as long as pronotum; sides, in dorsal vieq slightly expanded over antennal insertion; surface dull, punctured, with scales to near tip; tip glabrous, shining. Antennae inserted at basal 0.3 of rostrum. Eyes slightly convex, nearly round. Pronotum subcylindrical, as wide as long at base; sides nearly parallel in basal two-thirds, slightly narrowed to apex; disc slightly convex, with fine deep punctures; interpuncture spaces much narrower than diameter of punctures. Elytra 1.7 times longer than wide; striae deeply impressed, moderately broad, each with 1 row of scales, these usually slightly coarser than scales on adjacent interstriae; interstriae slightly convex, about twice as wide as striae, each interstria with 3 or 4 rows of minute punctures bearing fine, elongate scales. Distribution. Known only in Saskatchewan and Wyoming. Saskatchewan: Hatton. Comments. This species is known from only two specimens. Adults are similar to those of A. punctinasunl but may be distinguished by the characters summarized in the key to species and in the comments underA. puttctinasum. Nothing is known of the life history or habits of this species. Genus Podapion Riley Podapion Riley, 1883:61; Kissinger L968:22. This genus contains only one species in the world, P gallicolaRlley. Podapion is related to Apion and in addition to the characters mentioned L40
in the key to genera, it can be distinguished by the fact that the middle coxae are not separated by thejunction ofthe mesosternal process and the intercoxal process of the metasternum (as in Fig. 48). Description. Rostrum cylindrical, not expanded at antennal insertion, showing little sexual dimorphism. Antennae straight; funicle with 7 segments; club short, not longer than last 3 funicular segments combined. Eyes strongly convex. Prothorax cylindrical, Iaterally rounded, constricted apically. Elytra oval, convex' wider than prothorax; sides distinctly rounded to apex; striae in 9 regularly punctured rows; interstriae without specialized setae; pygidium covered by elytra. Coxae of middle legs contiguous. Legs in male without special characters; tarsal claw simple; tarsal segment 1 about as wide as long. T5pe species. Podapion gallicola Riley, monotypic. Podapion gallicola Riley Fig.744; Map 25 Podapion gallicolaRiley, 1883:61 (syntypes, Washington, D.C', Lake Superior, and Massachusetts; MCZ, USNM); Kissinger t968:22; O'Brien and Wibmer 1982:19. Podapion alexanderi Sleeper, 1955:87 (holotypes Glacier Point Bog, Yosemite National Park, Calif.; Sleeper collection); Kissinger 1968:22. Description. Length 3.1-4.8 mm. Body moderately slender, dark to black; antennae with base sometimes slightly lighter. Pubescence consisting of fine, white, moderately sparse scales. Frons 1'2-1.6 times wider than dorsal tip of rostrum, with lateral edge sometimes more prominent near middle of eye. Rostrum of male I.I-I.2 times longer than pronotum, fairly strongly curved; sides, in dorsal view, nearly parallel throughout; surface dull, finely alutaceous throughout, with fine, sparse, elongate punctures, nearly glabrous beyond antennal insertion. Rostrum of female I.I-7.4 times longer than pronotum, similar to male rostrum, except surface largely shining, slightly alutaceous, with sparse, elongate punctures, these sparser toward apex. Antennae inserted between basal 0.1 and 0.2 of rostrum' Pronotum about 0.9-1.1 times as wide as long; sides arcuate, distinctly constricted at apex; disc slightly convex, flattened apically, with deep punctures and moderately fine scales; interpuncture spaces coarsely alutaceous, generally narrower than diameter of puncture. Elytra 1.5-1.8 times longer than wide; striae deeply impressed, with coarse punctures; interstriae about 1.5 times wider than striae, flat, with dense, moderately coarse, the transverse rugae and each interstria with 1 or r47
