NEW SPECIES OF COLEOPTERA, CHIEFLY FROM THE 



SOUTHWEST. 



BY H. C. FALL, PASADENA, CAL. 



The following [species of Coleoptera are sufficiently isolated or 

 conspicuous to warrant their description apart from any monographic 

 treatment of the genera to which they belong. The types of the three 

 species sent by Prof. Snow remain in his collection, or rather that of the 

 University of Kansas ; the types of the remaining species are in the 

 writer's collection. . 



Cardiophoriis Arizonicus, n. sp. — Form rather slender, black, moder- 

 ately shining, elytra each with a humeral stripe, and the apex testaceous, 

 antennae and legs pale, the thighs dusky ; pubescence short, recurved, 

 yellowish brown, becoming paler on the pale areas of the elytra. Second 

 joint of antennae three-fourths longer than wide (following joints missing); 

 frontal margin simple. Prothorax just visibly longer than wide, sides 

 parallel and very feebly arcuate in basal four-fifths, surface shining and 

 finely punctate with scattered larger punctures ; fine punctures separated 

 on the average by their own diameters or slightly less ; basal strise long, 

 their length slightly greater than their distance from the side margin. 

 Elytra a little wider than the thorax, moderately convex, sides parallel, 

 gradually narrowed behind the middle, apex not acuminate, intervals a 

 little convex, finely sparsely punctulate, moderately shining; humeral stripe 

 extending from the base two-fifths the length of the elytra, and from the 

 fourth stria to the margin ; apical pale area about as long as the basal 

 laterally, but shorter at the suture. Beneath finely but more densely 

 punctured than above, submarginal line of prothorax cariniform, reaching 

 beyond the middle. Prosternal process feebly ascending, the impressed 

 marginal lines finer posteriorly, but reaching nearly to the tip. 



Length, 7.5 mm.; width, 2.2 mm. 



Arizona (Oak Creek Canon, 6,000 feet, July). A single male 

 specimen sent by Prof. Snow. 



By Blanchard's table— " Trans.," XVI (1889), P- 4— this species 

 would fall near longior, from which and all our other species it differs in 

 the elytral coloration. 



Agrihis Snowi, n. sp. — Very robust, black, feebly shining, thorax 



bronzed, head greenish; pubescence short, white, rather sparse and evenly 



distributed, with dense white efflorescence at the sides of the pronotum, in 

 Aiig'^st, 1905
