4i o MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



oval, more obtuse at base and apex, the humeri more rounded than 

 the sides, two-fifths longer than wide and one-half wider than the 

 prothorax; striae very fine and feeble even suturally and not evidently 

 punctulate, broadly obsolescent laterally, with the scutellar stria ex- 

 tremely short; dorsal punctures rather small. Length (cf ) 2.8-3.0 

 mm.; width 1.2-1.3 mm - North Carolina (Black Mts.), -Beuten- 

 miiller. Three examples hydropicus Horn 



13 Body rather stout and convex, female the less; integument shining, 

 dark rufous, the elytra more or less clouded; head more than three- 

 fourths as wide as the prothorax, with moderate eyes and long deep 

 entire sulci; last palpal joint shorter than the fourth; antennae slen- 

 der, infuscate, clearer basally, not quite as long as the elytra; pro- 

 thorax small, about one-half wider than long, the sides strongly, 

 subevenly reflexed, arcuate anteriorly, oblique and straighter pos- 

 teriad, very faintly sinuate near the angles, which are nearly right 

 and not at all prominent, though not rounded; anterior impression 

 subobsolete, the posterior feeble; foveae small, deep, sublinear, at 

 outer fourth; elytra oval, more obtuse than circular at apex, the 

 humeri rather more rounded than the sides, nearly three-fourths 

 wider than the prothorax; striae extremely fine and faint, sometimes 

 obliterated as sharply marked lines, wholly obsolete externally, not 

 punctate, the scutellar moderate, the two anterior dorsal punctures 

 moderately strong, more approximate than usual in this genus. 

 Length (cf 9 ) 3.6-4.1 mm.; width 1.5-1.75 mm. California (Sta. 

 Cruz to Humboldt Co.). Nine specimens. [T. Iccvigatus Lee.

14 Form narrower than in ovipennis but otherwise very similar, testa- 

 ceous in color and shining; head somewhat longer than wide, scarcely 

 three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, with rather large and moder- 

 ately prominent eyes and deep entire sulci, which are not much 

 curved outwardly behind; fourth palpal joint longer than the third; 

 antennae pale, about as long as the elytra in the male, or evidently 

 shorter (9 ); prothorax nearly as in ovipennis, but with broader and 

 more irregularly impressed foveae, the basal angles similar; elytra 

 very nearly one-half longer than wide, oval, barely two-thirds wider 

 than the prothorax, less obtusely rounded at tip than in ovipennis; 

 sides but little more rounding toward the humeri; striae fine, very 

 faint and vestigial, the sutural rather more visible, the scutellar 

 moderate, fine. Length (cf 9 ) 3-4~3-8 mm.; width 1.35-1.55 mm. 

 California (Pasadena). Four examples pomonae Fall 



I am at a loss to know which of our species could have been iden- 

 tified as the European rubens Fab., and am inclined to believe that 

 the latter is not established here, though possibly occurring occasion- 

 ally through fortuitous importation. The species above described 

 as puritanus answers best to rubens in its notably elongate elytra, 

 but it is black and has unusually long antennae; as brumalis and 

 rhodensis are allied black or blackish species, though distinctly dif-
