base, surface coarsely, deeply punctate, the punctures well separated 



toward the middle, the interstices polished. Elytra with coarsely punctate 



stripe ; intervals narrow, nearly flat on the disk. Beneath rather strongly, 



closely punctate ; apical ventral plate small and feeble, the free edge thin 

 and evenly arcuato-truncate. Length, 6.5-8 mm. 



Bishop, Big Pine and Independence, Inyo Co., California. Collected 

 by Dr. Fenyes, June 7-12. 



This species belongs to the " Emarginatfe," and is most nearly related 

 to iabyri/ithica, which is, however, on the average a larger species, always 

 distinctly bronzed, the form slightly flatter, the prothorax more closely and 

 relatively a little more finely punctate, the elytra with more numerous and 

 intricate markings. Bishopiana resembles quite closely a form which I 

 hold to be a variety of dolorosa, taken by Dr. Fenyes in the same region ; 

 this latter is somewhat flatter, more pointed behind, and with distinctly 

 more broadly, less deeply emarginate clypeus. 



Acmceodera faceta.w. sp. — Parallel, subcylindrical, dorsum a little 

 depressed. Head and thorax black, elytra dark blue, with a small 

 orange-red marginal spot near the posterior fourth ; beneath blue-black. 

 Head not densely punctate, front moderately impressed at middle. 

 Prothorax slightly narrower than the elytra, gradually narrowed in front, 

 sides subparallel in basal third or half, punctuation sparse at middle, 

 closer at sides, surface polished, basal impressions feeble. Elytra parallel 

 for two-thirds their length or more, post-humeral sinuation feeble ; strise 

 moderate, intervals rather narrow, nearly flat on the disk, more convex 

 laterally. Pubescence fine, sparse, whitish throughout. Front margin of 

 prosternum with two distant obtuse but rather prominent lobe-like teeth. 

 Ventral segments rather finely and densely punctate at sides, more sparsely 

 at middle; last ventral with feeble apical crest. Length, sH~7 "^'"^^• 



Santa Rosa, Lower California (Beyer). 



This species resembles stigmata and bivulnera quite closely. The 

 prosternal characters are nearly as in stigmata, which species is, however, 

 a little more gradually narrowed behind, lateral red spot more anterior in 

 position, the prothorax green-bronzed rather than black, the abdomen 

 more evenly punctate. In bivulnera the front of the prosternum is quite 

 different in outline, having a rather strong sinuate lobe at middle. 



AcmcBodera larrece, n. sp. — -Strongly convex, subcylindrical, head, 

 prothorax and under surface distinctly ?eneous, elytra yellow, with four or
