280 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



small, unusually abbreviated and with the two elytral fasciae much 

 less widely separated, this distance on the suture being less than 

 half the elytral length; the fasciae are yellowish in color; antennae 

 fully as long as the body; erect hairs long and numerous; elytral 

 humeri barely at all impressed. Length ( 9 ) 4.7 mm. ; width 1.8 mm. 

 California (without further indication of locality) . . . .parvulus n. sp. 



Prothorax ( 9 ) but slightly or not wider than long, rounded at the sides, 

 the latter thence more converging and straighter to the base than 

 to the apex 5 



5 Prothorax (cf) as long as wide, globular; size very small, narrow, 

 rather densely dusky-pubescent throughout, except the small pro- 

 notal points and very narrow imperfect elytral fasciae, which are 

 whitish, the erect hairs long and abundant, those of the elytra a 

 third as long as the width of the latter; antennae (cf ) rather stout, 

 not longer than the body; elytral humeri barely impressed, with the 

 coarse punctures confined to a subbasal transverse series. Length 

 (cf ) 5.0 mm.; width 1.4 mm. California (Los Angeles Co.). 



globicollis n. sp. 



Prothorax (c?) not quite as long as wide and not so nearly globular, 

 being more broadly truncate at apex 6 



6 Prothorax uniformly punctured throughout, legs stout, the hind 

 femora (9 ) not quite twice as long as the tarsi; male slender, with 

 the prothorax slightly wider than the elytra; female larger and very 

 much stouter, with the prothorax narrower than the elytra; antennae 

 differing scarcely at all sexually, though relatively a little longer in 

 the male; minute punctulation of the elytral ground dense, the 

 larger punctures notably coarse in both sexes; humeri rather feebly 

 impressed. Length (<f 9 ) 6.3-7.8 mm.; width 2.0-3.3 mm - Cali- 

 fornia (Los Angeles Co.) subnitidus Csy. 



Prothorax less evenly punctured, less closely so medially; minute punctu- 

 lation of the elytra much less dense and still more minute than in 

 subnitidus, the elytra shorter and with the punctures notably smaller 

 and still sparser, the surface more shining, the white fasciae distinct 

 though rather narrow and entire, biarcuate; humeri deeply and con- 

 spicuously impressed; legs nearly similar. Length (cf 9 ) 5.7-7.0 

 mm.; width 2.2-2.8 mm. California (near San Diego), Ricksecker; 

 also taken by the writer at San Diego fasciatus Lee. 



7 Elytral punctures feebly asperate; body of the usual form and color, 

 narrow in the male but with the prothorax scarcely as wide as the 

 elytra, dark piceous, rather shining, the prostrate vestiture very 

 short, the larger punctures sparse, coarse on the prothorax, much 

 smaller on the elytra, the humeri feebly impressed; antennas as long 

 as the body, feebly tapering; pronotal fascicules distinct, the elytral 

 fasciae narrow and unusually approximate, being separated by less 

 than half the elytral length, the anterior less basal than usual. 

 Length (cf) 5.2-6.0 mm.; width 1.7-2.0 mm. California (Mon- 

 terey). Shaken from the Monterey Pine by the writer. 



pinicola n. sp. 



Elytral punctures rather coarser and very strongly asperate throughout; 

 body moderately stout, similar in color; prothorax (9) equal in
