laterally and the apex relatively narrower; pubescence conspicuously 

 condensed along each side of the middle, coarse and yellowish, the 

 erect hairs numerous; punctures dense, the constrictions very dis- 

 tinct; elytra less cuneiform, broader, with moderate and unusually 

 closely placed punctures, the surface not rugulose transversely; 

 pubescence denser than usual, coarse, reclined, yellowish-cinereous, 

 longer, more erect and bristling toward base; abdomen finely punc- 

 tulate, with distinct inclined ashy pubescence; legs very slender; 

 basal joint of the hind tarsi two-fifths of the whole. Length (9) 

 n.o mm.; width 3.5 mm. Unlabeled in Levette collection prob- 

 ably Oregon. [Acmceops lupina Lee.] lupina Lee. 



Body nearly as in intermedia but smaller and with sparser and coarser 

 sculpture; pubescence yellowish-cinereous, erect and bristling on the 

 anterior parts but evenly distributed and not dense, unusually short, 

 depressed, coarse and rather sparse though distinct on the elytra; 

 head scarcely narrower than the prothorax in either sex, densely and 

 rather coarsely but shallowly punctate, the tempora converging 

 and somewhat arcuate for a longer distance behind the eyes, then 

 much more abruptly narrowed to the neck, which is nearly as in 

 lupina and narrower than in intermedia; prothorax throughout nearly 

 as in the latter species; elytra smaller, being narrower and shorter, 

 similar otherwise, except that the punctures are much coarser, 

 deep and separated by rather more than their own diameters; 

 abdomen black throughout, finely, rather sparsely punctulate. 

 Length (cf 9 ) 8.8-9.0 mm.; width 2.7 mm. Washington State. 



pugetana n. sp. 



19 Moderately slender, convex, grayish-black, the abdomen more or 

 less rufescent posteriorly, the legs as usual in this group; pubescence 

 decidedly yellow, less so and shorter, decumbent and not dense on 

 the elytra, unusually long, coarse, reclined, close and conspicuous 

 on the head and prothorax, which are very densely punctate and dull, 

 the former not differing much sexually, subquadrate, with unusually 

 convex eyes, which are much more prominent than the parallel 

 tempora, the latter broadly rounding posteriorly to the neck; 

 antennae (cf ) three-fourths as long as the body, slender, piceous- 

 black; prothorax wider than long, much more so in the female, 

 moderately narrowed and well constricted at apex, the acute basal 

 angles only moderately produced laterally; elytra as in the preceding 

 species, cuneiform and slightly more elongate (cf ), subparallel (9 ), 

 strongly and closely punctate, the punctures less coarse and denser 

 posteriorly; abdomen minutely, sparsely punctulate and shining as 

 usual in the preceding species, the fifth segment (cf ) broadly and 

 feebly concave from the apex beyond the middle. Length (cf 9 ) 

 9.5-10.0 mm. ; width 2.8-3.0 mm. Utah quadriceps n. sp. 



20 Abdomen dull, very densely and finely punctate and closely pu- 

 bescent. Body (9) rather larger than usual, black, the legs as in 

 the preceding species of this subgenus, the elytra pale testaceous, a 

 sutural, marginal and very faint discal vitta infuscate; pubescence 

 short, sparse and inconspicuous, minute on the elytra; head 

 densely punctate and dull, the eyes moderate or rather small, the
