base, the prominent angles bluntly pointed; basal angles right, the 

 puncture barely nearer base than side; impressions feeble, the stria 

 fine; foveae indefinite and feeble, the incisure of the inner very short 

 and sometimes indistinct; elytra nearly one-half longer than -wide, 

 barely visibly wider than the prothorax, obtusely rounded in apical 

 third; striae moderate, distinctly impressed, especially inwardly, the 

 scutellar long, free at tip; lateral series not interrupted; intervals 

 more convex inwardly. Length (cf) 6.8 mm.; width 2.9 mm. 

 New Mexico (Jemez Springs), Woodgate castalia n. sp. 



Strial intervals flat or virtually so in both sexes. Body rather broad, 

 oblong-suboval, moderately convex, polished above, with more or 

 less evident bronzy lustre; under surface and legs black; head well 

 developed, very distinctly more than half as wide as the prothorax 

 as a rule, the eyes large, moderately convex; antennae slender, ex- 

 tending to the thoracic base, black, excepting the two basal joints; 

 prothorax two-thirds to three-fourths wider than long, the arcuate 

 sides becoming gradually parallel and nearly straight in about basal 

 half; apex three-fourths as wide as the base, deeply sinuate, the prom- 

 inent angles only very narrowly blunt; basal angles right, the punc- 

 ture but little nearer base than side; impressions obsolete, the stria 

 fine, entire or not; foveae feeble, the outer oblique, the lineate in- 

 cisure of the inner distinct; elytra nearly one-half longer than wide, 

 about as wide as the prothorax, obtusely rounded in about apical 

 third; striae fine, the scutellar very variable in length; lateral series 

 not or very narrowly interrupted; hind tarsi (d 71 ) notably long. 

 Length (cf 9 ) 7.0-8.0 mm.; width 2.9-3.8 mm. Colorado (Boulder 

 Co.), Kansas and New Mexico (Fort Wingate). Thirteen specimens.

34 Form oblong-suboval, distinctly bronzed above, the under surface 

 and legs black, the trochanters piceous; elytra rather feebly aluta- 

 ceous and distinctly micro-reticulate in the female; head smaller 

 than in confusa, barely half as wide as the prothorax; eyes only feebly 

 convex, the strioles minute or obsolete; antennae rather short, not 

 extending to the thoracic base in the female, moderately compressed, 

 not very slender, the joints somewhat obconic, deep black, the first 

 rufous, the second in great part piceous; prothorax not quite one- 

 half wider than long, the arcuate sides nearly straight but scarcely 

 parallel behind the middle; apex sinuate, three-fourths as wide as 

 the base, the angles broadly rounded; basal angles right, not rounded, 

 the puncture coarse, perforate, very slightly nearer base than side, 

 well separated from both; transverse impressions distinct, the stria 

 short, fine; foveae feebly impressed, the incisure of the inner distinct, 

 the outer lineiform and oblique; elytra fully one-half longer than 

 wide, about as wide as the prothorax, the sides gradually rounding 

 behind the middle; lateral series narrowly interrupted; striae fine, 

 not coarser behind, the scutellar long, free, disintegrated; intervals 

 just visibly convex and vestigially uneven. Length (9) 6.5 mm.; 

 width 2.8 mm. Colorado (Boulder Co.) subpunctata Lee.
