the elytra are black with a much narrower ante-median fascia, 

 which is slightly interrupted at the suture ; the apices of elytra 

 not pale. The specimen is 3.5 mm. in length.

 This species was also taken at Tepehuanes, Mex., by Prof. 

 Wickham. The specimen is typical in every respect with the 

 exception of a very slight infuscate cloud at extreme apices of 

 elytra. This species has not been recorded as occurring else- 

 where than in Texas, if we exclude a Panama record of a spe- 

 cies doubtfully determined as turbata.

Two male specimens of this species have been sent me by 

 Prof. Wickham since the description was published. Both ex- 

 amples were taken at Salton, Cal., August 20, and form an 

 interesting record as they were found at 265 feet below sea 

 level. A female from Peach Springs, Ariz. (Wickham), is 

 considerably smaller than the type, being but 7.5 mm, in 

 length. A male from Yerington, Nev. (Baumberger), is of the 

 same size as the female from Peach Springs. The present 

 known distribution of the species is Utah, Texas, Arizona, Cali- 

 fornia and Nevada.

A specimen of this very rare species labeled "Jalapa, Mex.," 

 was sent me by Prof. Wickham. The species was originally 

 described from Oaxaca, Mexico, two specimens being all that 

 were known. 



The specimen at hand agrees in every way with the descrip- 

 tion with the exception that the sutural margins from the mid- 

 dle to apex are very narrowly bordered with black. The struc- 

 ture of the antennae is as in inornata, but the outer joints are 

 even less dentate. The specimen is a female, hence the termi- 

 nal segments of the abdomen furnish no characters of im- 

 portance. The length of the specimen is 9.5 mm.
