28 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



of the funicle; head well developed, densely, rugosely punctate, the 

 transverse line and two spots very feeble; pubescence brown but 

 inconspicuous; prothorax of the usual form, distinctly less than half 

 as long as the basal width, feebly compressed anteriorly, the sides 

 from above very feebly arcuate basally; surface evenly convex, 

 alutaceous, the punctures even, small, deep and perforate, separated 

 by nearly twice their own widths; scutellum with dense, coarse, 

 brownish-black hairs; elytra a little wider than the prothorax, 

 only a fifth longer than wide, the parallel sides feebly arcuate, the 

 apex very broadly rounded in posterior third; surface dull, minutely, 

 closely punctate, the pubescence short, not dense, wholly pale 

 fulvous, with a few silvery hairs intermingled, longer and dense 

 along the middle of the alternate intervals in detached lines and 

 spots; abdomen shining, with very fine, feeble and well separated 

 asperities, the metasternum in great part strongly punctato-rugose, 

 the pubescence of the under surface fine, very short and inconspicu- 

 ous; emargination of the mesosternum broad and shallow. Length 

 7.6-8.0 mm.; width 4.7-5.0 mm. Oregon fulvovestitus n. sp. 



Deep black, slightly narrower and still more parallel, the pubescence 

 very coarse and unusually long; head with the dense sculpture 

 finer, the pubescence more conspicuous, pale brown and cinereous; 

 prothorax nearly similar in outline but with the fine perforate 

 punctures everywhere much denser, the vestiture rather long, coarse, 

 decumbent, dense and almost unicolorous, pale yellowish-brown; 

 scutellum with coarse, dense, rather darker brown hairs; elytra just 

 visibly widest at about posterior third, basally not distinctly wider 

 than the prothorax, the sides nearly straight, the apex very broadly 

 rounded in posterior third; minute punctures very dense, the vesti- 

 ture long, dense, coarse, pale yellowish-cinereous throughout, except 

 on the alternate intervals where it becomes still longer, denser, still 

 more heaped up and darker brown in detached spots, which are 

 small in size and irregular in form; abdomen strongly, closely asper- 

 ato-rugulose, with rather close-set and coarse, subfulvous hairs, 

 longer and much more conspicuous than in fttlvorestitiis, the meta- 

 sternum closely, coarsely and distinctly though rather roughly punc- 

 tate, the mesosternal sinus deeper than in the preceding. Length 

 7.7 mm.; width 4.7 mm. Washington State (Palouse). 



stolidus n. sp. 



I" Elongate, parallel, deep black, the tarsi piceous-black; head rather 

 finely, very densely sculptured, the transverse line represented by 

 its impressed ends and a small median smooth point, the pubescence 

 moderate; prothorax scarcely less than half as long as its basal 

 width, of the usual form, feebly shining, the perforate punctures 

 moderately fine and close, separated by but little more than their 

 own widths, becoming extremely fine and much closer medially 

 and rather notably coarse and closer on the very steep flanks; 

 pubescence short, pale fulvo-cinereous, largely denuded in the 

 type; scutellum with dense, radiating, coarse dark fulvous hairs; 

 elytra oblong, a fourth longer than wide, scarcely wider than the 

 prothorax and only about two and one-half times as long, very
