8 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



mm.; width 2.8 mm. Vancouver Island and British Columbia 

 (Goldstream). [Pedilophorns oblongus Lee., Report Survey 1857, 

 p. 39] oblongus Lee. 



Form nearly similar, the upper surface rather more convex, strongly 

 shining, with brilliant metallic-green lustre, black beneath, the 

 tarsi pieeous; pubescence of the upper surface notably longer, coarser, 

 closer and more persistent than in oblongus and becoming somewhat 

 bristling toward apex, rather coarse, close and pale yellowish- 

 cinereous beneath; head nearly as in the preceding; prothorax less 

 transverse, barely twice as wide as long, the sides and angles nearly 

 similar, the base more angulate medially; punctuation nearly 

 similar, the vestiture closer and coarser; scutellum similar; elytra 

 fully a third longer than wide, the sides rather arcuate, the apex 

 rather less broadly rounded than in oblongus, the width at the 

 middle more evidently exceeding that of the prothorax, the punctures 

 nearly similar and well separated but finer; under surface similarly 

 very densely sculptured. Length 4.6 mm. ; width 2.65 mm. British 

 Columbia (Vernon), Venables insulsus n. sp. 



3 Outline and convexity as in oblongus, shining, rather obscure aeneous 

 in lustre above, wholly black, with feeble pieeous [tinge beneath, 

 the tarsi not paler; pubescence of the upper surface rather short, 

 fulvous, plentiful and rather persistent, intermixed with numerous 

 erect and bristling hairs laterally and toward tip, the erect hairs 

 rather more cinereous or silvery; hairs of the under surface much 

 shorter, more even and dense; head evenly convex as in the two 

 preceding but with the punctures finer; prothorax distinctly more 

 than twice as wide as long, the sides more strongly converging from 

 base to apex, feebly arcuate, the punctures rather fine, distinctly 

 separated but closer than in the two preceding; elytra as in oblongus, 

 very obtusely rounded behind, the puncture? like those of the pro- 

 notum but rather stronger, closer than in the two preceding; ab- 

 domen equally densely and somewhat more finely punctured. 

 Length 4.0 mm.; width 2.3 mm. Montana (Kalispell), Wickham. 

 [Pedilophorns subsetosus Fall, Tr. Am. Ent. Soc., 1907, p. 224]. 



subsetosus Fall 



Besides the above, the four following species have been described 

 as follows: 



Oval, convex, obliquely attenuate anteriorly, obtuse posteriorly, dark 

 greenish-bronzed above, uniformly but not closely punctured and 

 clothed with coarse white hairs; prothorax twice as wide as long, 

 strongly narrowed in front, the sides oblique and scarcely rounded; 

 scutellum clothed with white hair; elytra oval, wider than the pro- 

 thorax, obtusely rounded behind; under surface pieeous, densely 

 punctured, covered with brownish-gray pubescence; tarsi not lobed 

 beneath. Length 4.2 mm. Nebraska. [Pedilophorns ccneolus Lee., 

 -Sm. Misc. Coll., 167, 1863, p. 74] aeneolus Lee. 



Oblong, blackish, feebly shining, with faint aeneous tinge, the pubescence 

 pale, recumbent and moderately coarse; head deeply and densely, 

 rather coarsely punctured, the front with a distinct median fovea,
