THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 181 



grooved ; tibire finely spinulose exlernally ; the anterior pair somewhat 

 enlarged towards apex, the middle and hind ones of approximately 

 uniform width in distal two-thirds. Third tarsal joint with a long lobe. 

 Length, 8.5 mm. 



This species is much larger than any of the other described North 

 American forms, and looks very much like an AmpJiicyrta. The peculiar 

 punctuation of the elytra gives a vittate effect, recalling Cytihts, but there is 

 no alternation of elevation. Only the front tibise are distinctly grooved for 

 the reception of the tarsi. The antennal club is so gradually formed that 

 it is difficult to say where it begins ; the third and fourth joints are of 

 nearly the same width, while in the fifth the enlargement has became 

 apparent. 



Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, two specimens, taken by myself in June, under 

 logs. A third specimen from Vernon, B. C, collected by Mr. Venables 

 and communicated by Dr. Fletcher, is slightly smaller, more brilliant, and 

 a trifle more coarsely punctured, the marginal line of the prothorax is less 

 marked, and the head has a frontal transverse row of three fovec^, of 

 which the middle one is larger and deeper. These fovese are non-essential, 

 however, since one of my specimens has the median one distinct, the 

 other showing also traces of the lateral fovese.

 Sm. Misc. Coll., No. 167, 1866, p. 74. Originally described from a 

 specimen in the Ulke Collection, captured in Nebraska. I have a 

 number of examples of a Pedilophorus from Kalispell, Montana, which 

 may belong here, though I am not quite satisfied with the determination. 

 Mr. Fall expresses himself as being in doubt as to their exact status, and 

 neither he nor myself have seen the type, which is now presumably in the 

 Carnegie Museum at Pittsburg.
