Middle coast regions of California. This species may be 

 known at once b}^ its narrow and subc3'lindrical form, color of 

 the legs and other characters as detailed above ; it is an abun- 

 dant species. The description is drawn from a female example, 

 but the male does not ditfer noticeably in form and has very 

 feeble abdominal characters. 



15. T. anteniiatus Motscli. — Bull. Mosc, 1859, ii., p. 394. 



Oblong-oval, strongly convex, polished, black, the upper surface 

 with a dull seneous lustre ; legs rufo-ferruginous, the femora rufo- 

 piceous ; antennae testaceous, piceous-black toward apex, the two 

 basal joints also blackish; pubescence moderately long, coarse, 

 dense and cinereous, the cilia at the sides of the prothorax and 

 and elytra long and bristling and scarcely fimljriform. Head 

 three-fifths as wide as the prothorax, rather finely and sparsely 

 punctate, the epistoma and labrum dark rufo-testaceous ; im- 

 pressions feeble. Prothorax almost evenly and transversely 

 elliptical, two-thirds wider than long, the sides parallel and evenly, 

 strongly arcuate ; angles very obtuse and rounded ; disk strongl}^ 

 but not very closelj' punctate. Elytra three-fifths longer than 

 wide, distinctly tliough not greatly wider than the prothorax, 

 parallel, very broadly rounded at apex. Abdomen finely, densel}^ 

 punctulate and dense!}' pubescent. Length 2.75 mm.; width 1.15 

 mm. 



California (San Francisco). I have scarcely any doubt that 

 this is the true antennatus of Motschulsk}', who states that it 

 resembles laticollis Mann., but is smaller. It ditfers from lati- 

 collis, however, in having long bristling pale hairs along the sides 

 of the body, these being short and fimbriate in that species. 

 Some few of the hairs toward the sides of the elytra appear to be 

 semi-erect, and the species might therefore be almost as appro- 

 priately assigned to the fuscus group, some of the members of 

 which it resembles considerably. The two specimens before me 

 are females.
