 ceous; prothorax with the sides subparallel and feebly arcuate, grad- 

 ually more so and converging anteriorly; apex two-thirds as wide as 

 the base, distinctly though not deeply sinuate, the angles not much 

 advanced and obtusely blunt; basal angles right, not rounded; im- 

 pressions feeble, the anterior distant from the apex; stria very fine; 

 inner fovea extremely shallow but with a long fine incised line, the 

 outer small, oval, feebly impressed; elytra fully one-half longer than 

 wide, gradually obtusely ogival behind, just visibly wider than the 

 prothorax, the sides feebly arcuate, the lateral series rather widely 

 interrupted; striae fine but sharp and deep, impunctate, the scutellar 

 rather long, deep and oblique; seventh stria distinct, finely commin- 

 uted; intervals not quite flat, not more convex and with the striae 

 not much coarser on the declivity. Length (9) 7-3 mm.; width 

 3.0 mm. California (near San Francisco), Dunn. . . .vigilax n. sp.

13 Punctures of the foveal region very minute and sparsely scattered 

 almost throughout; elytral striae distinctly punctulate; body rather 

 narrowly oblong-oval, convex, polished, greenish-black; under sur-

 eyes, almost three-fifths as wide as the prothorax, the strides im- 

 pressed within, almost parallel; antennae slender, scarcely extending 

 to the thoracic base, piceous, the first three joints testaceous; pro- 

 thorax barely a third wider than long, the sides very feebly converg- 

 ing and slightly arcuate, gradually more rounding and convergent 

 anteriorly; apex three-fourths as wide as the base, extremely feebly 

 sinuate, with broadly rounded angles, the basal right, not rounded; 

 impressions obsolete, the stria very fine; inner fovea linear, oblique, 

 sharply incised, the outer small, impressed, punctiform and distant 

 from the base; elytra only just visibly wider than the prothorax, 

 very nearly one-half longer than wide, gradually obtusely ogival 

 behind, the sides broadly arcuate; lateral series coarse and close-set, 

 sharply interrupted submedially; striae rather fine but sharply deep 

 and with feeble but distinct punctulation, which is less evident sutu- 

 rally than externally, the seventh a row of distinct punctures, the 

 scutellar moderately long, oblique; intervals not quite flat, similar 

 throughout. Length (cf) 6.0 mm.; width 2.4 mm. California

Punctures of the foveal region fine and sparse, generally only visible in 

 and near the inner fovea; elytral striae with excessively minute and 

 close-set though rather clear punctulation; body elongate-suboval, 

 moderately convex, black, polished, with very feeble greenish lustre, 

 the elytra (9 ) but little less shining; under surface black to rufes- 

 cent, the legs pale rufous; head not distinctly more and sometimes 

 less than half as wide as the prothorax, the eyes large but only mod- 

 erately convex, the strioles rather long, fine and oblique; antennae 

 slender, not very long, piceous, the three basal joints and some of 

 the fourth testaceous; prothorax nearly one-half wider than long, the 

 sides distinctly converging from the base and feebly arcuate, very
