Elongate-oval, strongly convex, highly polished and with a 

 feeble aeneous lustre ; interstitial spaces on the head and pronotum 

 polished and without trace of reticulation ; pubescence long, mod- 

 erately coarse, sparse, denuded in rounded spots on the eh'tra. 

 Head about three-fifths as wide as the prothorax, rather finely 

 and somewhat closely perforato-punctate, broadly biimpressed 

 toward apex ; antennte distinctly longer than the prothorax, rufo- 

 piceous, the basal joint black, second palest. Prothorax one-half 

 wider than long, widest two-fifths from the base; sides rounded 

 posteriorly, convergent and straighter toward apex, the latter 

 broadly arcuato-truncate and almost as wide as the base ; angles 

 very obtuse and blunt ; disk not ver}^ coarsel}', deeply, moderately 

 closel}^ punctate, coarsely I'eto-rugose as usual in rather less than 

 lateral fourth. Eh'tra three-fourths longer than wide, distinctly 

 wider than the prothorax, acutely ogival in apical third, coarsely 

 and deepl}' punctate, the punctures separated by about their own 

 widths, finer toward apex. Legs stout, the tarsi rufescent, the 

 posterior distinctly shorter than the tibife. I<ength 2.9-3.5 mm.; 

 width 1.0-1.25 mm. 



Nebraska to California. The description is drawn from the fe- 

 male, the male being narrower, with relatively much larger head 

 and with the tips of the elytra less acute. The fifth ventral of 

 the male is broadly but strongly sinuato-truncate at apex, flat- 

 tened on the disk and clothed with long erect and bristlinsr hairs, 

 which become black in apical half This species extends westward 

 to the crests of the Sierras in California, but does not descend the 

 western slope of the mountains. 



6. Li. aiiiplicollii!) n. s^j. — Elouoate-oval, moderately convex, highly 

 polished throughout and with a greenish-brassy lustre above; legs and an- 

 tennte black, the second joint of the latter piceo-testaceous; pubescence short, 

 very sparse, rather coarse, confusedly denuded in large anastomosing spots on 

 the elytra; interspaces of the head and pronotum polished and with small 

 feeble and widely distant punctures. Head liarely three-tifths as wide as the 

 prothorax, not yevy densely punctate, strongly biimpressed anteriorly; an- 

 tennne distinctly longer than the prothorax, moderately stout toward apex. 

 Prothorax strongly transverse, three-fourths wider than long, rounded on the
