California. 



Tlie male serving as the t^-pe has the fifth A-entral short and trun- 

 cate, the truncature apparently feebly' sinuate toward the middle. 



69. T. irrasilS n. sp. — -Elongate, suliovlindrical, convex, polislied and 

 smooth throughout, black, legs black, the tarsi scarcely picesceut; autenuse 

 black, the funicle dark piceo-testaceons toward base; pubescence rather long 

 and coarse, dense, subdecumbent, pale Inteo-cinereous, the upper surface 

 In-istling with long erect and very conspicuous, though not dense, black seta3 

 which are intermingled with some shorter and more inclined pale hairs toward 

 the sides of the elytra, the marginal hairs of the latter very long and cinere- 

 ous. Head but slightly more than one-half as wide as the prothorax, convex, 

 finely and sparsely punctate, a little more closely so toward apex, where the 

 impressions are feeble and separated by the usual feeble impuuctate convexity; 

 epistoma rather long but strongly transverse, very pale and coriaceous; 

 labrum long, black, paler and strongly rounded at apex; eyes large but not 

 very convex, not quite attaining the base; antenm* slightly longer than the 

 prothorax, the penultimate joints moderately transverse. ProtJiorax three- 

 fourths wider than long, the sides convergent and very feebly arcuate from 

 base to apex, the basal angles obtuse and rather 1)roadly rounded, feebly re- 

 flexed; apical less obtuse and only narrowly rounded, distinct; apex and base 

 evenly, equally and feebly arcuate throughout the width, the former distinctly 

 the narrower; disk finely, sparsely punctate. Elytra three-fifths longer than 

 wide, only just visibly wider than the prothorax, parallel and straight at the 

 sides, broadly rounded at apex, finely but strongly and rather densely punc- 

 tate. Legs and abdomen densely and somewhat coarsely cinereo-pubescent. 

 Length 4.0 mm. ; width 1.6 mm.

The unique representative of this species, which may be readily 

 known by the form of the prothorax, is a female, with the fifth 

 ventral evenly rounded behind. 



70. T. crinifer n. sp. — Oblong, parallel, moderately convex, black with 

 a feelde gTayish-ieneous lustre; legs rufo-ferruginous, the posterior femora 

 slightly obscure; antennie piceo-testaceous ; pubescence rather long, coarse and 

 dense, subdecumbent, pale luteo-cinereous, the uj^per surface in addition with 

 long but rather sparse erect black seta?. Head fully three-fifths as wide as the 

 prothorax, smooth, finely and sparsely punctate, the impressions large and 

 feeble; epistoma rather short, truncate, thin, imxjunctate and slightly pale to- 

 ward apex; labrum short and broad, broadlj' rounded; eyes moderately large 

 and slightly prominent, attaining the base; antenna; somewhat long, strongly 

 serrate, the outer joints only moderately transverse. Prothorax two-thirds 

 wider than long, the sides j)arallel, evenly and feebly arcuate; basal angles 

 obtuse and blunt but somewhat distinct; apical angles less obtuse and but 

 slightly blunt: apex and base evenly and feebly arcuate, the latter slightly 

 the wider; disk finely and sparsely punctate. Elytra three-fifths longer
