or less testaceous; pubescence pale yellowish, moderate in length, rather 

 coarse, dense throughout, the longer pale hairs of the elytra scarcely evident, 

 being much inclined; marginal cilia very short, dense, recurved and finibri- 

 forra on the prothorax, verj' nuxch longer and sparser on the elytra. Head 

 barely three-fifths as wide as the prothorax, convex, minutely, sparselj^ punc- 

 tate, smooth and polished throughout, the frontal impressions very feeble; 

 epistoma elongate, less than one-half Avider than long, pale; labrum about as 

 as long as wide, acutely parabolic at apex; eyes large but not prominent; an- 

 tenn:e as long as the prothorax, feebly incrassate, the penultimate joints 

 moderately transverse, fifth scarcely dilated. Prothorax two-thirds Avider than 

 long, the sides feebly convergent from base to apex and feebly arcuate, more 

 distinctly though broadly so beliind the middle; apex rectilinearly truncate, 

 anteriorly obliqiie at the sides, the angles acute and scarcely blunt; basal 

 angles broadly obtuse but distinct; disk minutely and sparsely punctate; in- 

 terspaces smooth and polished, not in the least rugose at the sides. Elytra 

 three-fourths longer than wide, scarcely visibly wider than the prothorax, 

 parallel aud straight at the sides, semi-circularly rounded at apex, finely and 

 densely punctate, the interspaces smooth, slightlj- rugiform as usual by anteri- 

 orly oblique light. Ahdomen finely, densely punctulate, densely cinereo-pu- 

 .bescent, the legs moderately long. Length 3.0 mm. ; width 1.2 mm.

This distinct species is represented before me by a single 

 female from an unknown part of the Territory. The longer hairs 

 of the elytra are so much inclined and so indistinct that their 

 presence might readily be overlooked, and the species assigned 

 to the preceding subdivision of the genus.

 black; legs and antennte blackish throughout; vestiture moderately long, 

 coarse, dense throughout, bright fulvous in color, the elytra with long, erect, 

 very coarse aud conspicuous seta.' of the .same color, uniformly distriljuted over 

 the entire surface; marginal cilia rather short, very dense, reclined and fim-

 obsolete ; epistoma extremely short and broad ; labrum strongly rounded ; eyes

 thorax, rather slender, feebly incrassate, the penultimate joints moderately 

 transverse, fifth scarcely at all dilated. Prothorax tAvice as wide as long, the 

 sides prominently rounded behind the middle, convergent and feebh' arcuate 

 thence to the obtuse and rounded apical angles, and still more convergent and 

 straight to the basal angles, which are very obtuse and indistinct; apex trun-

 the base; disk finely but strongly, sparsely punctate; interspaces smooth and 

 polished, Imt slightly rugose near the sides. Elytra fully one-half longer than 

 wide, not at all Avider tlian the widest part of the prothorax, i>arallel, semi-
