but rather strongly punctured and somewhat pubescent ; legs rather long, the 

 tarsi long and slender, the first joint of the anterior simple. Length 6.8 mm. ; 

 width 3.3 mm. 



Oregon (Squally Hill). Mr. Schwarz. 



The epipleurse are moderatel}' wide, inclined in plane, gradually 

 rer}^ narrow to the apex, sparsely punctate and glabrous. 



C«EI.O€5JE]M[IS Mann. 



C sulcata n. sp. — Elongate and moderately stout, stronglj^ convex, deep 

 black and dull throughout. Head one-half as wide as the jHothorax, truncate 

 at apex, minutely feebly and sparsely punctate throughout ; antennae about as 

 long as the prothorax, dull, minutely punctulate, each puncture bearing a min- 

 ute decumbent hair, third joint one-half longer than the fourth and sc*arcely 

 more than twice as long as wide, eleventh joint wider than long, very obliquely 

 pointed, the sensitive pores distinct and close-set. Prothorax not quite as long 

 as wide, widest at the middle where the sides are broadly angulate, thence 

 broadly arcuate and feebly convergent to the apex and slightly more conver- 

 gent and broadly, evenly and very feebly sinuate throughout to the base, the 

 the latter truncate and slightlj' narrower than the apex, which is also truncate 

 with the angles broadly rounded; basal angles slightly acute and prominent, 

 not rounded; disk extremely minutely but deeply punctate, the punctures 

 rather sparse, distinct under sufficient power and each lying within a large 

 feeble dent of the surface, the latter producing a very obsoletely rugose ap- 

 pearance. Elytra oval, not quite twice as long as wide, two and one-half 

 times as long as the prothorax and about one-fourth wider, arcuate at the 

 sides, the apex feebly produced and conjointly, evenly parabolic; disk finely 

 but deeply sulcate, the sulci minutely, not closelj' punctate, the intervals con- 

 vex, nearly smooth and extremely finely, sparsely punctulate. Legs long and 

 .sparsely punctate; tibiae densely and compactly fulvo-pubescent within toward 

 apex as usual, the tarsi similarly clothed beneath. Length 26.0-28.0 mm. ; 

 width 9.0-10.0 mm. 



Utah (southwestern). Mr. C. J. Weidt. 



This distinct species dilTers from punctata in its much larger 

 size, sulcate elytra and finer sculpture. According to Mr. Weidt 

 it occupies a very different station from punctata^ one being found 

 only in the low sun-scorched plains, and the other in the high 

 moist wooded regions. 



Blapstini. 



There are several elements useful in the classification of the 

 genera of Blapstini, which, although apparently trivial in them- 

 selves, are undoubtedly sound with the limits of this particular 

 group of genera. The two to which attention should be parti-
