02 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



Lee., of the Acupalpini. The following species cannot be placed 

 properly in the table given above; the table is based upon that 

 of Dr. Horn, for the reason that so many of the species are unknown 

 to me in nature: 



D. immanis Horn. (Anisodactylus) Oblong, depressed, piceous, 

 feebly shining and pubescent, the legs rufous; head coarsely but not deeply 

 punctate, with ~>hort erect hairs, the epistoma with one setigerous puncture 

 at each angle; prothorax broader than long, narrowed posteriorly, the 

 sides in front arcuate, posteriorly oblique, the hind angles distinct but 

 not prominent; base on each side slightly arcuate; surface feebly convex, 

 coarsely but not deeply punctate and with very short erect hiirs; elytra 

 wider than the prothorax, oblong-oval, the sides slightly arcuate; striae 

 fine, the intervals flat, rather finely and closely, biseriately punctulate and 

 with very short erect hairs; prothorax beneath with a few coarse punc- 

 tures in front; abdomen and sides of metasternum sparsely punctulate; 

 hind tibia? with short broad spatuliform spurs. Length 8.5 mm. Cali- 

 fornia (San Joaquin Valley). 



The author states that he is disposed to regard the peculiar forma- 

 tion of the hind tibial spurs as specific, because he had before him 

 two perfectly similar specimens, both females. The characters 

 given fit those of brevisetosus very well, that species being founded 

 upon a single male, which however has perfectly normal and slender, 

 finely pointed hind tibial spurs; as there is no trace of dense hairs 

 on the under surface of the middle tarsi, it cannot be obtusus Lee. 

 It would be interesting to observe the male of immanis. 



The following species is also unknown, beyond the unique type 

 in the Dejean collection; the description is curtailed from that of 

 Dejean : 



D. brunneus Dej. (Harpalus] Oblong-ovate, subparallel, sub- 

 pubescent, nigro-piceous, the antennae and legs rufous; head and prothorax 

 deeply punctate, the prothorax subquadrate, slightly narrowed posteriorly, 

 the hind angles right; elytra striate, the intervals with two lines of im- 

 pressed punctures; hairs of the upper surface sparse and moderately long; 

 punctures of the head coarse and very dense; the prothorax is only a 

 little wider than long, feebly rounded at the sides, feebly narrowed 

 posteriorly and rather convex, having coarse deep punctures, which are 

 very dense and often coalescent; the punctures of the binary elytral 

 series are moderately close-set; there is but a single series on the sutural 

 interval and the ninth has numerous punctures placed without order. 

 Length (9)6 mm.; width 2 mm. California. Sent to Count Dejean 

 by Eschscholtz. 



This is evidently different from any species known to me, but 

 may be placed just after decoloratus at the end of the table; it
