Larger and stouter than either C. viatica, affinis or Eschscholtzii, having 

 the sculpture very like C. a f f i n i s, but with the elytra more finely punctured : 

 in all of those however the abdomen is very sparsely and finely punctulate, 

 while in this it is entirely covered with a coarse, somewhat rugous punc- 

 tuation. 



94. Blapstinus brevicollis. 95. B. pulverulentus. 



96. Eulabis rufipes. 



97. Eulabis brevicornis, elongatus, nigro-piceus, capite confertim, tho- 

 race confertim minus subtiliter punctatis, hoc latitudine breviore, minus 

 convexo, lateribus rotundatis, postice subsinuatis angulis posticis rectis, 

 elytris subtiliter costatis, interstitiis uniseriatim punctulatis, antennis pedi- 

 busque piceis, illis capite paulo longioribus. Long. "25. 



Narrower and less convex than Eu. rufipes, with the antennae shorter 

 and stouter. 



98. Tenebrio mo lit or. 



99. Ccelocnemis o b e s a. 



100. Platydema oregonense. 



101. Xystropus opacus, elongatus, niger opacus, thorace semicirculari, basi 

 bisinuato, confertissime subtiliter punctato, elytris thorace hand latioribus, 

 striis punctatis interstitiis vix convexis, sutura anguste rufescente. Lons.

One specimen, Tejon. Related to X. brevis (Cistela brevis Say) but imich 

 narrower, and with the antennae and feet entirely black. 



102. Cistela s eric e a. 



103. Prionychus cyanescens, elongatus niger, thorace elytrisque obscure 

 cyaneis opacis, capite thoraceque confertissime punctatis, hoc subquadrato, 

 lateribus paulo rotundatis, elytris thorace paulo latioribus, striis punctatis, 

 interstitiis paulo convexis, alutaceis. Long. *31. 



One specimen, Tejon. Of the same size and form as P. gracilis (Stenochia 

 gracilis Lee.) from San Diego, but differs by the blue color of the thorax and 

 elytra, and the entirely black feet. 



104. Allecula punctulata, elongato-ovalis, fusca, pubescens, thorace lati- 

 tudine plus duplo breviore, semicirculari, confertim subtiliter punctato, basi 

 utrinque subimpresso, elytris confertim subtiliter punctatis, striis internis 

 distinctis, externis vagis, antennarum basi, tibiis tarsisque pallidioribus s 

 Long. -28. 



Tejon, one specimen. Differs from several species from the Atlantic States 

 by the thorax being more finely and densely punctured. 



105. Anaspis atra. 



106. Anaspis n u b i 1 a, linearis, flava pubescens, subtiliter dense punctu- 

 lata, thorace latitudine fere duplo breviore, semicirculari, elytris fascia lata 

 media indeterminata nigra, antennis nigris, basi flavis ; subtus fusca, pedibus 

 iiavis. Long. -09. 



Tejon. No sexual appendages on the abdomen of the specimens examined. 



107. Mordella scutellaris. 



108. Lytta smaragdula. A specimen perhaps belonging to this species, 

 found at Tejon, is of a purplish color, with the antennae longer than in the 

 type, with the external joints nearly twice as long as wide. It does not differ 

 in any other character, and I am therefore for the present unwilling to sepa- 

 rate it. 



109. Lytta puncticollis.
