rails, differing in the nature of the vestiture, narrower form of the 

 body, and in the smaller and narrower prothorax of the female. 



58. T. remotus n. sp. — Elongate, suboval, convex, polished, black, with- 

 out metallic lustre; legs and antenna? black throughout; pubescence coarse, 

 sparse, subdecumbent, in gi-eat part cinereous on the pronotum, blackish 

 with cinereous hairs confusedly interspersed on the elytra especially near 

 the suture, apex and flanks; entire body bristling with numerous very 

 long erect blackish setoe. Head rather small, two-thirds as wide as the 

 prothorax, convex, smooth, linelj- l)ut strongly and sparsely punctate, 

 the frontal impressions very feeble; eyes moderate in size, rather promi- 

 nent; antennae somewhat slender, only very feebly incrassate, one-third 

 longer than the prothorax, the oiiter joints scarcely asymmetric, the tenth mod- 

 erately transverse, fifth feebly dilated. Prothorax two-thirds wider than long, 

 parallel, the sides almost evenly and rather strongly arcuate, more convergent 

 and very feebly sinuate near the basal angles which are obtuse but distinct 

 and feebly reflex ed; apical angles obtuse and roiinded; apex and base equal, 

 broadly and almost equally arcuate; disk finely but strongly, sparsely punc- 

 tate, not at all rugose near the sides. Elytra elongate, nearly three-fourths 

 longer than wide, very slightly wider than the prothorax and about three 

 times as long, parallel and straight at the sides, the apex evenly and not very 

 broadly rounded; disk finely and somewhat closely punctate. Abdomen 

 densely cinereo-pubescent, the legs well developed. Length 3.5 mm. ; width 

 1.3 mm. 



California. 



A single male from an unknown part of the State serves as the 

 type of this species ; the fifth ventral is unusually long, trapezoi- 

 dal and truncate but otherwise unmodified, and the inner spur of 

 the anterior and middle tibiae is widely dilated Remotus ma}- be 

 distinguished from qiiadricollis by the rounded sides of the pro- 

 thorax and much smaller head. 



59. T. conspersus n. sp. — Elongate, moderately convex, polished, 

 black with scarcely any metallic lustre; legs piceous, the antenna; black; pu- 

 bescence coarse, moderately long, subdecumbent, cinereous, sparse on the jiro- 

 notum, distinct and rather dense throughout the elytra except in a narrow and 

 indefinite region on each near the suture where it becomes partly blackish and 

 inconspicuous; body bristling throughout the upper surface with numerous 

 long erect black setse, which are somewhat longer toward the sides of the pro- 

 notum than on the elytra. Head two-thirds as wide as the prothorax, smooth 

 throughout, finely and sparsely punctate, the frontal impressions very feeble; 

 epistoma rather long and unusually narrow; labrum strongly rounded; eyes 

 somewhat large but not very prominent, not attaining the base; antennae 

 scarcely longer than the prothorax, the penultimate joints moderately trans- 

 verse. Prothorax two-thirds wider than long, widest just behind the middle,
