rather closely punet.ite and subrugose, coarsely' reto-scabrous near 

 the sides. Elytra parallel, two-thirds longer than wide, only 

 slightly wider the prothorax and nearly three times as long, side 

 margins narrowl}- reflexed ; punctures somewhat fine and close- 

 set, scabriculate. Abdomen minutel}', densely asperulo-punctate, 

 the legs rather long. Length 3.8 mm.; width 1.5 mm. 



Oregon. The male from which the description is taken has the 

 fifth ventral unmodified on the disk, short and broadly truncate 

 at apex ; the genital segment is flat, emarginate, with about three 

 long erect black sette at each side, and the under surface of the 

 tip of the dorsal p^-gidium is distinct be3-ond it. The epipleurae 

 are wider than in most species of the genus, but ai'e gradually 

 narrowed behind. 



4. T. agrestis n. sp. — Elongate and couvex, moderately shining, black 

 tbrouglioiit ; legs and antennse dark ruf o-piceous, the first and eleventh joints 

 of the latter black ; pubescence very short, fine and closely decumbent, brown- 

 ish-black in color and inconspicuous, the marginal fringe short, even and dark 

 in color. Head three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, feebly constricted at 

 base, sparsely punctate, the punctures fine, coarser and with scabrous sculpture 

 toward base; frontal impressions large and feeble; eyes large, slightly promi- 

 nent and distant from the base: epistoma thin and truncate: labrum short, 

 very broad, feebly arcuate at apex, punctate at base, with several long black 

 setse near the sides; antennse one-fourth longer that the prothorax, rather 

 slender, the fifth joint distinctly dilated, tenth slightly transverse. Prothorax 

 fully two-thirds wider than long, the sides parallel and feel)ly, almost evenly 

 arcuate throughout; base oblique and sinuate at the sides, the basal angles 

 slightly obtuse but not rounded; apex transversely truncate, very feebly, an- 

 teriorly oldique for only a short distance at the sides, the angles slighth- ob- 

 tuse and blunt; disk finely, s^jarsely punctate, only slightly scabrous near the 

 sides, the interspaces smooth. Elytra long, four-fifths longer than wide, one- 

 fourth wider than the prothorax and more than three times as long, the sides 

 parallel and nearly straight : apex evenly and almost semi-circularly rounded ; 

 humeri strongly tumid ; punctures not very coarse but deep, even and well 

 defined, rather close-set. Abdomen minutely, densely, subasperateh* punctu- 

 late, with very fine and short but cinereous pubescence, the legs somewhat 

 short, densely punctulate. Length 4.7 mm. ; width 1.05 mm. 



California. 



One of the largest and most isolated species of the genus, rep- 

 resented before me by a single female from an unknown part of 

 the State. The epipleurje are very narrow and are defined exter- 

 nallj- by the finely serrulate edge which is general throughout 

 the genus.
