STAPHYLINIDyE 245 



tapering, the sixth ventral plate (cf) evenly and circularly rounding. 

 Length 2.4 mm.; width 0.73 mm. California (Lake Tahoe). 



This form is very much like molesta in fades and structure and 

 may prove to be a simple variety; the antennae, however, are 

 thicker and not so long; the vestiture is more even and the body not 

 quite so stout.
