274 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



7 Form elongate, rather narrower than in the preceding, deep polished 

 black, sometimes with very feeble bronzy lustre, the female elytra 

 barely at all alutaceous; under surface greenish-black, the legs pale 

 rufous; head relatively somewhat larger than in the preceding, with 

 rather smaller but more prominent eyes, three-fifths as wide as the 

 prothorax; antennae rather slender, colored as in the preceding; pro- 

 thorax one-half wider than long, the basal angles slightly obtuse and 

 blunt; apex much narrower than the base, distinctly sinuate, with 

 the slightly prominent angles only narrowly blunt; punctures and 

 foveae nearly as in the preceding, except that the former are rather 

 finer and the latter more profoundly impressed; elytra (cf) nearly 

 one-half longer than wide, or not quite so long ( 9 ), only very slightly 

 wider than the prothorax, the striae fine, a little stronger and more 

 impressed in the male, the scutellar moderately long but much dis- 

 integrated, more noticeably so than in the preceding, the outer 

 striae sometimes faintly comminuted or subpunctulate, the seventh 

 stria almost completely obsolete in both sexes as in farallonica. 

 Length (cf 9 ) 6.3-6.8 mm.; width 2.65-2.8 mm. California (San 

 Francisco). Five examples taken by the writer and one by Mr. 

 Fuchs proba n. sp. 



Form oblong-elongate, convex, black, with very faint greenish or bronzy 

 lustre; under surface black, the abdominal tip rufescent; legs pale 

 rufous; head well developed and with prominent eyes nearly as in 

 the preceding; antennae fusco-testaceous, the two basal joints clearer 

 testaceous; prothorax shorter and relatively somewhat narrower 

 than in either of the two preceding, somewhat more than one-half 

 wider than long, the sides rounding inward at base, the angles very 

 obtuse and blunt; apex relatively a little broader and only very feebly 

 sinuate, the angles broadly blunt and not prominent; transverse 

 impressions feeble, though evident, the stria very fine; punctures of 

 the foveal region very fine and sparse; inner fovea distinct, impressed, 

 sublinear, the outer almost completely obsolete to feeble and broadly 

 sublinear; elytra two-fifths longer than wide, more distinctly wider 

 than the prothorax than in the two preceding, the striation nearly 

 similar, but the scutellar stria is very variable, either a long discon- 

 nected series of dashes, or short, entire and free at both ends, or 

 short, oblique, entire, free at base but united at apex with the sutu- 

 ral stria, in the three specimens examined, the seventh subobsolete. 

 Length (c? 9 ) 5-75-6.7 mm.; width 2.4-2.7 mm. California (San 

 Clemente Island, off the southern coast). Four examples. The 

 female exceeds the male in size more notably than in the other 

 species Clementina n. sp. 



8 Body elongate, parallel, convex, shining, bright subcupreous to met- 

 allic green; elytra but faintly alutaceous; under surface black, the 

 legs obscure rufous; head three-fifths as wide as the prothorax, with 

 prominent eyes and oblique irregular strides; antennae slender, 

 fusco-testaceous, the first three joints clearer, extending but slightly 

 behind the thoracic base (cf), or shorter (9 ); prothorax a third to 

 two-fifths wider than long, the sides parallel, feebly arcuate, round- 

 ing apically; apex three-fourths as wide as the base, very feebly sin-
