520 Coleopterological Notices, VI, 



stoma long, coriaceous; labnim long; e^'es moderate; antennae 

 about as long as the prothorax, distinctly incrassate toward tip, 

 the tenth joint transverse and scarcel}' at all asymmetric, the fifth 

 but feebly dilated. Prothorax two-thirds wider than long, the 

 sides almost evenly and rather strongl}- arcuate, distinctly more 

 convergent toward apex, the latter much narrower than the base 

 and truncate with the angles obtuse; basal angles obtuse but 

 scarcely at all rounded and feebly reflexed as in other allied spe- 

 cies ; disk finely but strongly, sparsely punctate. Elytra three- 

 fifths longer than wide, one-fourth wider than the prothorax and 

 fully three times as long, parallel, semi-circulai-ly rounded at 

 apex, finely and rather closely punctate. Legs and abdomen 

 coarsely cinereo-pubescent. Length 3.1 mm.; width 1.35 mm. 



California (San Diego). The short prothorax, evidently nar- 

 rowed near the apex and comparative!}' long and wide elytra, 

 oval form of the body, long epistoma and other characters as 

 noted in the description of the female given above, will serve to 

 distinguish this species from its allies. 



68. T. TillosiIS n. sp. — Subcyliiidrical, strongly convex, polished, the 

 surface smooth throughout above, black, the legs black with the tarsi paler; 

 antennae black with the hmicle pale testaceous toward base ; piibescence long, 

 coarse, luteo-cinereous, dense and rather closely decumbent, intermingled 

 with very long, abundant and l)ristling setai which are black anteriorl}- and 

 toward the middle of the elytra, but cinereous toward the sides and along the 

 margins of the latter. Head scarcely more than three-fifths as wide as the pro- 

 thorax, finely, remotely punctate, more closely so anteriorly, the frontal im- 

 pressions distinct and confiuent at apex just beyond a smooth subtuberculi- 

 f orm elevation ; epistoma rather short and broad, pale flavate ; labrum strongly 

 rounded, setose, pale and fringed with short pale setae at apex ; eyes moderately 

 large and convex ; antennie one-third longer than the prothorax, distinctly incras- 

 sate, the funicle slender toward l)ase, outer joints transverse, fifth much longer 

 and slightly wider than the sixth. Prothorax scarcely more than one-half 

 wider than long; the sides feebly arcuate at basal two-fifths, thence moderately 

 convergent and straight or very feeldy sinuate to the apical angles which are 

 only slightly ol)tuse and scarcely at all rounded, subparallel near the base, the 

 basal angles obtuse and distinctly rounded, obliterated 1 )ut feebly reflexed ; 

 apex rectilinearly truncate, narrower than the base which is broadly arcuate; 

 disk finely, sjiarsel^' punctate. Elytra scarcely three-fifths longer than wide, 

 a little wider than the prothorax and Init slightly more than twice as long, the 

 sides straight and apparently somewhat convergent from base to apex, the 

 latter evenly rounded; ])unctures rather small but strong and close-set. Legs 

 and abdomen rather densely cinereo-pubescent. Length 2.8 mm.; width 

 1.25 mm.
