358 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST 



prothorax and not wider than the latter at base; sides feebly 

 diverging, nearly parallel; apex broadly rounded; surface with 

 slightly finer punctures than those on the prothorax. Under 

 side punctured nearly like the upper side. Length 4.25 mm. 

 Fresno Co., Cal. 



This species differs from longula in the shape of_prothorax 

 and differently formed antennal joints. The sides of prothorax 

 in longula are almost parallel, the fourth antennal joint triangular 

 and the outer joints are wider than long; the upper surface is also 

 more depressed in longula than in calif ornica. Carebara longula 

 was described from the Middle States and specimens taken in this 

 neighbourhood at Wyandanch, Long Island, and. Jamesbourg 

 and Lakehurst, N. J., agree better with the description of that 

 species than my California specimens, some of which I received 

 from Ricksecker as C. longula. 



Hallonienus binotatus Quens. - 



I have a specimen from Montreal, Canada, given me by Mr. 

 Chas. Liebeck which agrees closely with the description of this 

 European species. Mr. Liebeck writes me that he has received 

 several specimens of the same species from the above mentioned 

 locality taken at different times. 



It is similar in form, size and antennal structure to scapularis, 

 the colour brownish-yellow and the prothorax with two black 

 longitudinal lines. The elytra are obsoletely striate, the pro- 

 thorax more finely granulate and the basal margin more distinctly 

 sinuate than in scapularis. 



Scraptia oculata, new species. 



Very much like sericea but a little more elongate, punctuation 

 of upper surface almost the same as in that species; the second and 

 third joints of antennae are smaller and together not as long as 

 the fourth joint in the male, in the female the second and third 

 joints together are equal or nearly so to the fourth joint. The 

 eyes are larger and separated on the front by a much smaller 

 space than in sericea. The last ventral segm^ent of the male is 

 deeply, longitudinally impressed at middle and at apex triangularly 

 emarginate. Length, male type, 5 mm. Huachuca Mts., 'Arizona.
