HO PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF 



Brothylus. 



Oculi rude granulati : palpi compressi, breves : antennae simplices articulo 

 4to contiguis fere duplo breviore : mandibulse apice acutse. Thorax lateribus 

 rotundatis tuberculo acuto armatis, dorso bicallosus, elytris apice conjunctim 

 rotundatis. Pedes mediocres, fenioribus haud clavatis, tarsis posterioribus 

 articulo lmo seqnentes duo fequante. 



Belongs to the same group with Eburia and Elaphidion, but differs re- 

 markably by the 4th joint of the antenna? being about half as long as the 3d 

 or 5th. 



123. B. gemmulatus, fusco-piceus, pube brevi helva vestitus, capite 

 thoraceque rude punctatis, hoc latitudine haud breviore, lateribus antice 

 rotundatis, postice sinuatis, tuberculo acuto ad medium armatis, dorso ad 

 medium utrinque tuberculo sublsevi munito, elytris thorace latioribus, subtil- 

 lissime rugose punctulatis, granulis niajuseulis parcis nitidis, postice sensim 

 punctis fientibus. Long. -67. 



Tejon, two specimens. The granules are very scattered, larger at the base, 

 gradually becoming smaller, they are converted into punctures at the tip. 



124. Elaphidion 1 i n e a r e , valde elongatum, testaceum, parce minus sub- 

 tiliter albo-pubescens, thorace latitudine longiore, lateribus rotundatis, con- 

 fertim grosse punctato, callo dorsali postico lsevi, elytris fortiter punctatis 

 apice emarginatis, vix bispinosis, femoribus muticis, antennarum articulis 

 3, 4 et 5 spina brevi apicali armatis. Long. *41. 



Tejon, one specimen. Quite as slender as Sclerocerus rigidus. 



125. Clytus nauticus. 



126. Acmreops falsa, elongata, nigra, pube brevi albida incana, thorace 

 oonvexo, lateribus rotundatis, postice transversim impresso, et in lateribus 

 vix constricto, angulis posticis obtusis, rufo nitido haud dense punctato, 

 elytris confertim punctatis, thorace latioribus parallelis apice rotundatis. 

 Long. -28. 



One specimen, Tejon. By its color this species recedes from Acmseops and 

 resembles various Lepturse, but the characters, as well as the form of thorax, 

 belong to this genus. 



127. Toxotus nubifer, capite nigro punctato, thorace nigro subtiliter 

 punctulato, latitudine longiore, antrorsum angustato, antice posticeque con- 

 stricto, tuberculo laterali magno obtuso, elytris humeris prominulis, postice 

 sensim augustatis apice oblique intus truncatis, dense subtilissime punctulatis 

 et rugosis, nigricantibus, margine basali laterali apicalique late piceo-rufo ; 

 pectoribus nigris, abdomine antennis palpis pedibusque piceo-rufis. Long. '70.* 



One specimen, Tejon. 



128. Leptura 1 se t a . 



129. Leptura 6-s p i 1 o t a, nigra, dense fulvo-pubescens, thorace latitudine 

 haud longiore, convexo, confertissime punctato, lateribus rotundatis, a medio 

 antrorsum angustato, angulis posticis parvis acutis, elytris sat fortiter puncta- 

 tis, postice sensim angustatis, apice singulatim rotundatis, pallide flavis, 

 sutura limboque toto anguste nigris, macula utrinque ante medium alterisque 

 tribus margini cohaerentibus nigris, antica angustiore, alteris magnis quadra- 

 tis : femoribus rufo-testaceis, tibiis tarsisque infuscatis, antennis fuscis. 

 Long. -24 -33i. 



Tejon, abundant. Belongs to the same group as L. instabilis, con- 

 vex a , cordifer, &c. 



The anterior marginal spot is only a slight dilatation of the black margin, 

 and extends from the base one-fourth the length of the elytra : the second spot 

 is quadrate extending from the margin half way to the suture, the third is 

 transverse, quadrate, situated one-fourth from the apex, and sometimes nearly 

 reaches the suture.
