 disitnguisliing cluractcr. In colliXfi% the prothor.ix is wider at mid<ile than 

 at base, the sides being roiindedin basally. In sitnilis \\\c thorax is 

 widest at the extreme base, the hind angles rather sharply defined and a 

 little obtuse. Tlie i)Uiictures of the elytral interspaces are very fine, 

 e\ce|>t the coarser ones on the alternate intervals. Sexual characters as 

 in colUtrii. Length, t^-si mm.

Anisoioma anteunata, n. sp. — Klongate oval, moderately convex, 

 rufo or flavoiestaceous, shining. Head and protliorax minutely, sparsely 

 punctate. Klytra regularly punctate striate, the striie not impressed, the 

 ninth stria marginal except at base ; elytral interspaces minutely, very 

 sparsely punctate, alternate ones with moderately distant coarse punctures. 

 .\nlenn.c nearly a^ long as the head and thorax, third joint as long as the 

 next two, joints 4-<> each as long as or a little longer than wide, 7 

 obtrapezoidal, about as long as wide, 8 small, twice as wide as long. 1 1 as 

 wide as 10 and nearly as long as 9-10 united, apex obliquely truncate. 

 I'roihorax one-half wider than long, narrowed from the extreme base, the 

 sides becoming basally almost parallel ; hind angles distinct and nearly 

 rectangular. The head shows the usual transverse frontal series of coarser 

 pimctures, and there is a line of coarser punctures along the basal margin, 

 these becoming closer and less regularly serial at the angles. Klytra twice 

 as long as the prothorax and about one-third longer than wide, sides 

 parallel in basal half Metaslernum and abdomen alutaccous. sparsely 

 punctate, the .nbdomen more finely so. Length, 2.5-2 9 mm. ; width, 

 1. 3- 1. 5 mm. 



I'asadena, California. 



The only two examples known to me are females ; they have the hind 

 femora gradually broader outwardly, the condyle a little prominent, but not 

 at all dentiform ; tibia* straight. The furm is more elongate than in any 

 of oui other sjiceies except t\-,trnitil,i. There is .1 scries of minute pune 

 turcs ak)ng the extreme edge ol the basal margin of the prothorax, not 

 noticed by me in any other species. The form of the last antennal joint 

 is peculiar to this species, and its mass is relatively greater than in any 

 other known to me, being nearly equal to that of the two preceding joints 

 combined. 



Aniiototmx sciil/>tiirata, n. sp. — Oblong oval, . moderately convex, 

 rufotcstaccous. Head and prothorax shining, the former rather closely,
