Coleopterological Notices, VI. 497 



A distinct species, represented in ni}' cabinet by a single fe- 

 male, having the fifth ventral very broadly and feebly though 

 evenly arcuate at apex, and the genital segment broadly arcuate 

 at tip and broadly impresso-canaliculate along the middle. 



34. T. fulvovestitiis n. sp. — Somewhat stout and strongly convex, pol- 

 ished, hlack, the anterior parts with a stron<i seneoiis lustre; elytra pale ful- 

 vous, sometimes with a very feeble blackish cloud on the suture toward base; 

 abdomen lilack throughout, the genital segment alone paler; legs very pale; 

 antennae rufo -testaceous, the eleventh joint duskv; oral organs and mandibles 

 rufescent; pubescence rather long and coarse, dense, fulvous and conspicuous. 

 Head only just visibly narrower than the jHOthorax, constricted at base, the 

 front flat, finely, sparsely punctate, the impressions Aery feeble, a median con- 

 vexity at apex smooth and polished ; epistoma with a Avide pale and thin cori- 

 aceous margin; labrum small, strongly rounded; eyes small, prominent and at 

 their own length from the ])ase; antenntc slender, one-half longer than the pro- 

 thorax, the eleventh joint as long as wide. Prothorax nearly one-half wider 

 than long, the sides ixirallel, more rounded at the middle, feebh' couAcrgent 

 and nearly straight thence to the base and apex, the latter broadly arcuato- 

 truncate and as Avide as the base; angles rather obtuse; disk highl}' polished, 

 finely and sparsely punctate. Scutellum black, thinly albido-pubescent. Ehj- 

 tra barely one-half longer than wide, nearly one-half Avider than the prothorax, 

 parallel and straight at the sides; the apex very l)roadly obtuse, the sutural 

 angles right and not distinctly rounded; humeri rather Avidely exi30sed at base; 

 disk somewhat finely but strongly and closely punctate. Abdomen finely 

 Ijunetulate, more or less thinly cinereo-pubescent, the legs slender. Length 

 2.2-2.4 mm. ; Avidtli 0.8-0.9 mm. 



Arizona (Yuma). Mr. G. W. Dunn. 



This species is veiy distinct in appearance because of its large 

 head, with the eyes small and distant from the prothorax. It is 

 evidentlj-^ allied rather closel}- to pro2nnquus, Avhich is knoAvn at 

 present only by the female, but differs in the dense and conspicu- 

 ous pubescence of the pronotum and black abdomen. The sexual 

 characters of the male are ver}' simple, the fifth ventral being 

 truncate at apex, and the third and fourth segments completely 

 devoid of modified pubescence. Two males. 



3.5. T. exiguUK n. sp. — Oblong, somewhat stout and convex, moderately 

 shining, pale luteo-te.staceous, the sterna of the hind bod}-, abdomen, scutel- 

 lum and a large cloud toward the base of the head black; legs and antennae 

 pale testaceous, the latter very feebly clouded near the apex; pubescence 

 rather long and dense, closely decumbent, cinereous, very coarse on the elytra, 

 rather fine anteriorly. Head large, only slightly narrower than the prothorax, 

 strongly reticulate, very minutely, sparsely punctate, the impressions large 

 and feeble; epistoma .short; labrum short, broadly arcuato-truncate; antenna?
