Geronimo, and other localities ; but at Oaxaca all the examples taken by Herr Hoge 

 are longipennis. Besides size and colour, the species varies greatly in convexity and in 

 the size and position of the setiferous interstitial punctures. In the flattened examples 

 (tristriatus sensu strictiori) these latter are generally near the middle of the interstice 

 and very conspicuous ; but in the more convex longipennis they are frequently, but not 

 always, on the sides, and are with difficulty distinguished from the punctures of the 



strise. There are, however, all gradations between the two forms.
