Species of the Pacific coast regions. 



Pemora pale rufous, the extreme apex alone abruptly blackish. 



Body slender, the vestiture less dense, the semi-erect hairs brown- 

 ish I>riiino!iiUS Lee. 



Body stout, more densely pube,scent, all the hairs whitish. 



iiicanus n. sp. 

 Femora black, slightly ruf escent at base ; tibiae pale rufous. 



variipes n. sp. 



Femora and tibije black throughout iiitlutiis n. sp. 



Head much smaller and narrower than the i^rothorax; body large and stout, 



the vestiture A^ery dense throughout liilllius n. sp. 



Vestiture of the elytra not uniform in distribution. 



Elytra closely and finely mottled with small irregular clusters of only 



slightly greater density; legs testaceous throughout rilfipes n. sp. 



Elytra more sparsely variegated with large spots of more condensed white 

 pubescence. 

 Legs completely black throughout. 



Pronotum scarcely at all impressed laterally. Wyoming to Oregon. 



guttattis Lee. 

 Pronotum strongly impressed in the middle toward the sides. 



iinpres§ieolIis n. sp.

There can be no doubt whatever of the identity of (Edemera 

 vesfita Say (Journ. Ac. Nat. Sci., Phila., Ill, 1823, p. 273) with 

 S. badiipennis Lee, and the species is closel}' allied to mellyi Laf., 

 though probabl}' distinct. It is possible that Eurygenins muri- 

 nus may be better placed in the present genus, but a renewed 

 inspection of the palpi would be necessary- to decide. 



The species of Stereopalpus are very uniform in structure 

 throughout, and have comparativeh' feeble sexual characters ; 

 the male has a small terminal and denseh* punctate genital seg- 

 ment, which is but little protruded. The e3'es are broadly and 

 feebly sinuate anteriorly-. 



S. incaiilis. — Slightly stout, black, densely clothed with stiii white pu- 

 bescence which, on the elytra, does not quite conceal the surface lustre, and 

 which as usual there consists of short semi-erect sparser hairs mingled with 

 recumbent pubescence. Head finely, densely rugoso-punctate and dull; eyes 

 convex, prominent, separated by twice their own width, narrowly rounded 

 beneath, broadly above, obliquel}- truncate behind and surrounded, especially 

 behind, by a fine polished glabrous line; antennaj black, the basal joint rufes- 

 cent, slightly longer than the head and prothorax combined; clypeus twice as 

 wide as long, rectangular and transversely truncate, not differing in sculpture. 

 ProUtorax sculptured like the head, rather longer than wide, rounded on the sides 

 anteriorly, thence just percepti))ly narrowed aud broadly, distinctly sinuate
