or less sinuate, the hind angles more prominent; alternate elytral 

 intervals never with a trace of punctulation even at apex; pronotum 

 less completely punctate, generally in large part smooth 16 



II Elytra (cf) strongly shining, the micro-reticulation very feeble. 

 Black, shining, the under surface and legs picescent; head feebly 

 rugulose, with prominent moderate eyes and a few scattered punc- 

 tures about the small deep fovea? and throughout the occiput, the 

 vertex with the usual red spot of the genus; labrum unusually deeply 

 incised; antennae slender, black, the basal joint testaceous anteriorly, 

 black posteriorly; prothorax scarcely one-half wider than long, 

 widest rather before the middle, the sides broadly rounded, straight 

 posteriorly; apex rather deeply sinuate, with scarcely rounded angles 

 and about three-fourths as wide as the base, which is rectilinearly 

 transverse, with slightly obtuse but sharp, minutely subprominent 

 angles; surface very steeply declivous in anterior two-thirds to the 

 rather coarse reflexed margin, which widens barely at all to that 

 point, where it becomes lost on the flattened though scarcely hori- 

 zontal, densely punctate latero-basal area, the foveae large and 

 elongate but extremely feeble, the entire surface punctate and feebly 

 rugulose, the punctures however very fine and becoming coarse and 

 dense only latero-basally ; at the sides anteriorly there are some 

 coarser scattered punctures; median stria very fine, biabbreviated; 

 elytra nearly one-half longer than wide, a fifth wider than the pro- 

 thorax, very obtusely rounded behind, the sinus feeble; stria? fine, 

 coarser apically, the scutellar long; intervals flat, the alternate ones, 

 near base and apically, strongly though confusedly and sparsely 

 punctate; punctures of the two lateral intervals extending to base, 

 these punctures stronger and much coarser than in any other speies; 

 discal puncture strong, at three-fifths; hind tarsi sparsely but rather 

 strongly punctured above, the basal joint as long as the next two and 

 barely longer than the fifth. Length (c?) 12.0 mm.; width 4.8 mm. 

 California (Hoopa Valley. Humboldt Co.) incisus n. sp. 



Elytra (cf) rather dull sericeo-opaculate, or ( 9 ) very densely dull and 

 sericeo-opaque; elytral punctulation finer and much less distinct, 

 the labrum less deeply incised 12 



12 Alternate intervals of the elytra with fine sparse punctures nearly 

 throughout the length, becoming less sparse in about apical third, 

 these punctures distinct (cT) to very feeble (9). Head finely, 

 sparsely punctulate basally and laterally, more or less rugose, the 

 rugae coarse and rather deep near the deep elongate foveae; antennae 

 black, with partially pale basal joint, rather slender, shorter in the 

 female; prothorax slightly less than one-half wider than long, the 

 sides broadly arcuate, becoming straight and feebly convergent 

 posteriorly, the apex moderately sinuate, with narrowly rounded 

 angles and somewhat narrower than the base, which is transverse, 

 with the strong bead a little thicker laterally and the angles slightly 

 more than right, with the apices finely acute and subprominent; 

 surface rather strongly but finely and sparsely punctured throughout, 

 more coarsely, very densely and subrugosely latero-basally and with 

 scattered coarse punctures on the lateral slopes, the sides with the
