Allopoda luteaHald. 



Hallomenns fuscosuturalis Blatchl. Can. Ent. XLV, 24. 



Specimens received from Prof. Blatchley of his Hallo-menus 

 fuscosuturalis are the same as our common Allopoda hi tea. 



Allopoda arizonica, new species. 



- Form of lutea but generally of a darker and uniform colour. 

 Head moderately coarsely punctate, punctures moj;e closely 

 placed, than in lutea, eyes rather large; antennae rather longer 

 than in lutea. Prothorax; transverse, sides arcuately narrowing 

 from the narrowly rounded hind angles to a little before apex and 

 then more strongly rounded to apex; surface more closely punctate 

 than in lutea. Elytra slightly wider at base than the pro thorax; 

 apices separately rounded; surface a little more closely and finely 

 punctate than in lutea.' Length 4 mm. Huachuca Mts., Arizona. 



This species differs from lutea in the denser pubescence and 

 punctuation, shorter and more transverse prothorax and relatively 

 longer antennal joints. 



Allopoda calif ornica, new species. 



Narrowly elongate, rather sparsely pubescent, colour fusco- 

 testaceous, first two joints of antennae, palpi, legs and under side 

 paler. Head moderately closely punctate; antennae longer than 

 the head and prothorax together, third joint not quite twice as 

 long as second, fourth a Jittle longer than third. Prothorax 

 transverse, sides nearly parallel in about basal third, then rather 

 strongly, arcuately narrowing to apex; hind angles feebly rounded; 

 basal margin trisinuate, the median sinuation stronger than on 

 each side of middle; basal foveae distinct; surface rather finely 

 punctured. Elytra about three times as long as the prothorax; 

 sides feebly arcuate; apex broadly rounded; surface rather finely 

 and moderately closely punctate. Length 4.5 mm. Tulare 

 Co., Cal. 



The type and only specimen seen is a female in the collection 

 of the late Ottomar Dietz. It differs from arizonica and lutea in 

 slightly larger size more elongate form, base of prothorax more 

 distinctly trisinuate and especially in the form of maxillary palpi, 

 which are in californica elongate, cultriform, as in Canifa but it
