83 Prothorax short and more transverse, three-fifths wider than long. 

 Body oblong-suboval, rather convex, black, with feeble greenish 

 lustre, the head barely visibly alutaceous; elytra brownish-flavate, 

 with a feeble scutellar cloud, the anterior foveae, a transverse bi- 

 arcuate medial fascia and a large subapical area, divided by the sut- 

 ure, blackish; legs blackish-piceous; head three-fourths as wide as 

 the prothorax, the eyes rather prominent; antennae slender, nearly 

 three-fourths as long as the elytra, blackish, the basal joint rufous, 

 the medial joints fully twice as long as wide; prothorax with moder- 

 ately arcuate sides, the basal parallel part nearly a fifth the total 

 length; base broad, almost four-fifths the maximum width; foveae 

 deep, linear, distant from the very distinct carina; elytra three-fifths 

 longer than wide and less than one-half wider than the prothorax, 

 the parallel sides broadly arcuate; striae moderately fine, feebly im- 

 pressed, the punctures not coarse but deep and conspicuous, rather 

 close-set; foveae near basal and apical third. Length (cf 9 ) 2.6- 

 2.85 mm.; width 1.0-1.2 mm. Utah (Provo Wickham; also south-

Prothorax much less abbreviated. Body oblong, very moderately con-

 the elytra brownish-flavate, marked as in timidum; under surface 

 black, the inflexed sides and legs dark testaceous; head three-fourths 

 to four-fifths as wide as the prothorax, the eyes rather prominent; 

 frontal sulci almost truly parallel; antennas piceous, rather long and 

 slender, three-fourths as long as the elytra, the medial joints ob- 

 conic and barely or scarcely twice as long as wide; prothorax scarcely 

 more than a third wider than long; base three-fourths the maximum 

 width,; outer basal parts dull, the foveae small, deeply impressed, 

 the carina short and fine; sides broadly, evenly rounded, the parallel 

 basal part a sixth the total length; elytra slightly more than one-half 

 longer than wide and fully one-half wider than the prothorax, arcu- 

 ate at the sides; striae moderate, deep, distinctly impressed, the punc- 

 tures fine but distinct, rather close-set; foveae as usual. Length

84 Form elongate-suboval, moderately convex, shining, the elytra very 

 feebly alutaceous, black, with testaceous legs and epipleura, the 

 elytra black, tawny at the sides in more than basal third, more in- 

 wardly at basal third opposite two small elongate spots on the 

 third interval before and behind the fovea, also in an oblique 

 fascia near apical third, extending to the third stria, and also in an 

 apical area, the pale spots composed of lines separated by the black 

 striae; head three-fourths as wide as the prothorax; antennae rather
