Il6 THE CANADIAN ENtOMOLOGISt. 



Valley, Nev., Ridgway ; western Washington, U. S. Nat. Mus.; California, 

 Edwards ; El Dorado Co., Cal, 4,000 feet, Gissler ; Sonoma and Marin 

 Counties, Cal., Osten Sacken ; San Francisco, Cal., Edwards; between 

 San Luis Obispo and San Simeon Bay, Cal., Palmer 3 Ft. Tejon, Cal., 

 Uhler ; San Bernardino, Cal., Palmer; Ehrenberg, Colorado River, Ariz., 

 Palmer; Fort Buchanan, Southern Arizona, Palmer; Cantonment Bur- 

 goyne, mountains of New Mexico ; Las Cruces. N. Mexico, Cockerell ; 

 Eagle Creek, White Mts., Lincoln Co., N. Mex., 7,000 feet, Wooton 

 (Morse). This is our most widespread species. 



It is possibly not distinct from the preceding, in which case the 

 name fasciatus has precedence. It is somewhat more variable than the 

 other species in the number of spines on the hind tibiae, and there are 

 even occasionally only four on the inner margin. The single specimen 

 from Ft. Tejon, quoted above, has the inner upper calcaria of the hind 

 tibiae distinctly longer than the metatarsus ; it is a large male, measuring 

 39 mm. in length. 



5. Stenopelmatiis histrio Sauss. — This Mexican species extends into 

 our territory. Specimens before me come from California, Edwards ; 

 San Francisco, Cal., Edwards, Bischoff; Sonoma and Marin Counties, 

 Cal., Osten Sacken ; Pacific RR. explorations along Lat. 38°, Beckwith ; 

 and Mexico, Sumichrast. 



6. Stetiopelmatiis pieties, sp. nov. — Castaneous, heavily infuscated 

 over the whole upper surface of the body. Head not broader than the 

 pronotum, longitudinally broadly striped with dark fuscous over the 

 vertex, hardly encroaching on the smooth genaj, nor quite reaching the 

 back of the head ; front feebly and sparsely punctate ; eyes but little 

 prominent, briefly subpyriform. Pronotum subquadrate, the front portion 

 but little broader than the rest, the hinder angles broadly rounded, the 

 disk, excepting before the submarginal sulcus, almost entirely dark 

 fuscous, sometimes threaded with rufo-castaneous. Hind femora short 

 and broad ; hind tibite broad and subequal on a side view, the outer face 

 subrotundate, the upper plane, furnished above on the inner carina 

 with three not very large, equidistant and subequal but distally enlarging 

 spines, on the outer carina with two similar ones ; inner calcaria not very 

 stout, even slender in the male, increasing a little in length from below 

 upwards, the upper as long as {$) or nearly as long as (?) the 

 metatarsus. Dorsal plates of abdomen dark fuscous, edged posteriorly 

 with rufo-castaneous.
