194 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



of the species mentioned, but whether its pale uniform testaceous 

 color is constant, or is to some extent the result of immaturity, cannot 

 be stated at present. This species may be placed next after h<z- 

 morrhoidale in the lists. The New Mexican reversum has the 

 pubescence disposed almost exactly as in the maritime Californian 

 filitarse, but it is a broader species and differs in the form of the 

 antennal club. 



Cryptorhopalum anthrenoides n. sp. Broadly oval, moderately convex, 

 rather shining black, the legs black, the tarsi piceous; pale pubescence 

 nearly white; head not quite two-fifths as wide as the prothorax, somewhat 

 dull, the punctures not dense, the ocellus large and pallid; antennae short 

 though extending fully to the middle of the prothorax, fuscous throughout, 

 the club unusually broad, regularly oval and much longer than the pre- 

 ceding part, its two joints very nearly equal, the basal just visibly the 

 longer; prothorax twice as wide as the median length, the sides moderately 

 converging and evenly, rather strongly arcuate, the basal lobe abrupt 

 and strong, truncate; punctures minute, rather sparse; pale pubescence 

 coarse, densely aggregated in a large and abrupt lateral area and sparsely 

 before the scutellum; elytra short, only very little longer than wide, at the 

 rather strong humeral swellings distinctly wider than the prothorax, the 

 s des thence feebly converging posteriorly, rapidly and broadly rounded 

 at apex; punctures moderate but rather close-set, differing irregularly 

 in size among themselves; white hairs loosely aggregated in a narrow ir- 

 regular fascia at two-fifths, bifurcating toward the sides, in a narrow 

 irregular fascia near apical third and in an apical, suturally divided fascia; 

 hairs of the general surface much finer, shorter, black and inconspicuous; 

 under surface somewhat strongly, densely punctured throughout and with 

 uniform coarse whitish and conspicuous pubescence. Length (d 71 ) 2.35 

 mm.; width 1.65 mm. Arizona (Sta. Catalina Mts.), Tucker. 



This very distinct species may be associated with those that 

 precede, but the abruptly defined areas of unusually white aggre- 

 gated pubescence, and the abbreviated outline, give it quite a 

 different appearance. The antennal club, also, is unusually 

 broad, the transverse suture very fine, and the vestiture of the under 

 surface is conspicuous. 



Cryptorhopalum fontinale n. sp. Form oblong-suboval, moderately 

 convex, shining black, the elytra sometimes nubilously rufescent except 

 basally; legs rufous, the thighs more or less blackish; pubescence above 

 obscure cinereous and coarse, though not dense, rather more condensed on 

 the peripheral parts of the pronotum and with scattered coarser and 

 paler cinereous hairs near basal third of the elytra, except suturally, and 

 near the apices; under surface with luteous pubescence, closer on the 

 abdomen; head moderately small, not differing in the sexes, finely, rather 

 densely punctate, the pale ocellus prominent; antenna? (c?) pale, extend-
