Arizona. The nboA'e description i-efers to the male, in which, 

 in addition, the fifth ventral is truncate at apex and paler in color. 

 This is a \evy distinct suecies Ijotli in coloration and structure. 



27. T. iiiiioceilM n. sp. — Narrow, subparallel, convex, polished, hlack. the 

 elytra with a feeble <n"eeiiish-»ne(ms lustre: legs nifo-piceous, the tiltiie and 

 tarsi qnite jjale; antenna; deep black, with joints three to five slijihtly i>aler; 

 pubescence short, rather coarse and sparse, palefulvous; elytra with theextrenie 

 apex rufo-ferruginous. HeutJ four-fifths as wide as the prothorax, finely, 

 sparsely punctate, feebly rugulose except in the middle anteriorly, the im- 

 pressions rather strong and better "defined by the somewhat prominent siipra- 

 antennal ridges; epistomal margin polished and depressed but black ; labrum 

 only slightly pale at the extreme apex. l)roadly rounded, with a few setiferous 

 punctures along the basiil margin: eyes slightly prominent; antenna; rather 

 stout, hispid throughout with erect cinereous setic, nearly one-half longer than 

 the prothorax, fifth joint distinctly dilated, the tenth slightly wider than long, 

 hnd somewhat asymmetric. Prothorax one-half wider than long, widest a little 

 behind tbe middle, where the upper fianks are slightly tumid; sides i^irall el 

 and broadly arcuate, becoming gi-adiially convergent and nearh' straight in 

 about apical half; apex arcuato-truncate, about as wide as the base; disk 

 finely, sparsely punctate, very obsoletely rugulose but polished, coareely reto- 

 rugose at the sides. Elytra oblong, two-thinls longer than wide, distinctly 

 wider than the prothorax, slightly dehiscent at apex as usual, parallel, broadly 

 rounded behind, .somewhat finely and sparsely but distinctly punctate. Ahdo- 

 mcu smooth and polished, very minutely and spirsely punctulate, thinly and 

 finely pubescent, the legs rather slender. Length 2.25-2.7 mm; width 0.8- 

 0.95 mm. 



California (Calaveras Co.) Dr. F. E. Blaisdell. 



A small but distinct species, the male described above having; 

 the fifth A'entral broadly and just visibly sinuato-truncate at tip 

 but otherwise unmodified. It may be known at once b}'' its 

 sparse fulvous vestiture and coloration. 



Two of the three specimens before me, represented b}' the 

 larger measurements, are blacker and duller, with the vestiture 

 more cinereous, but I have but little doubt that the}' belong to 

 the same species. 



28. T. apicalis n. sp. — .><tout, oblong-oval, convex, feebly shining, black, 

 the elytra pale testaceous at apex, the pale area extending slightly along the 

 suture and narrowly along the side margins nearly to the middle: legs rufo- 

 ferruginous throughout; antenuie dark piceo-rufous, the two basal joints 

 slightly darker; pubescence short, coarse, closely decumbent and dense, jiale 

 luteo-cinereous in color. Head small, not much more than one-half as wide 

 as the prothorax, finely, sj>arsely punctate, with smooth interspjices through- 

 out; anterior impressions extremely feel)le. the supra-antenual ridges wholly
