and apically, the foveae inconspicuous. Length, <?, 15.5 mm.;- 

 width, 6.2 mm. Mariposa Co. (Wawona) col/aris, n. sp. 



Body smaller, shorter, more ventricose, similarly deep black and notably 

 convex but with relatively smaller head and prothorax, the two latter 

 densely dull, the elytra notably shining ; head very obsoletely rugu- 

 lose, smooth anteriorly, the labrum more unevenly prominent medially,, 

 where there is a small feeble sinus ; prothorax distinctly wider than 

 long, the base four-fifths as wide as the apex, barely two-thirds as wide 

 as the elytra, the latter 'very short, scarcely one-hxlf longer than wide, 

 widest somewhat behind the middle, very obtuse apically, narrowly 

 shouldered basally, the punctures still larger, notably deeper, more 

 separated and better defined, each similarly with a small anterior 

 asperity. Length, ^ , 14.5 mm.; width, 6.0 mm. Mariposa Co 

 (Wawona) compositus, n. sp. 



Body robust, dull black, with a slight silky lustre ; head with a few 

 indistinct ruga? between the eyes; prothorax but little wider than long, 

 subquadrate, less narrowed behind than in any other species and less- 

 convex, the hind angles rounded : disc slightly rugose at base and 

 tip, the transverse impressions distinct but not deep, the dorsal line 

 fine ; elytra rather broadly ovate, wider than the prothorax, much- 

 rounded on the sides, deeply punctured, with a few l.irger but not 

 conspicuous punctures intermingled ; legs rather slender, about as in- 

 Audoiiini. Length, 16.5 mm. Yosemite Valley. A single female 

 specimen — apparently still unique Homi, Lee. 



24 — Form very stout, convex, unusually ventricose, deep black, alutaceous;. 

 head almost smooth, with two small feeble impressions between the 

 eyes, generally confluent with the oblique shallow frontal impressions,, 

 the labrum broadly, unevenly arcuate medially though somewhat 

 advanced beyond the angles, the sinuses small and rather feeble ;. 

 antennae stout ; prothorax large, wider than long, though but little so 

 in the male, the sides moderately converging and broadly, very feebly 

 arcuate, the base three-fourths as wide as the apex ; elytra much more 

 inflated in the female than in the male, somewhat shouldered basally 

 and rapidly obtusely ogival apically in both, widest at the middle, the 

 surface sericeous, the foveae generally very evident. Length, ^ > ¥ >
