Elytra confusedly punctured in a not very large l)a.so-sutural triangle, else- 

 where with distinctly impressed rather coarsely punctate undulating striae, of 

 which the fourth and fifth are most irregular; intervals convex, rather narrow, 

 the marginal one with a single puncture behind the su})t)asal interruption; 

 shield small; markings brown and yellow mottled, the colors about eciually 

 divided, the outer standard spots definable, the inner ones much broken u j).

 brown with last ventral in great ])urt yellow. Legs rufo-testaceous, the femora 

 with paler tips.

55. Pachybrachys proximus Bowditch 



Pale yellow, with typical marginal elytral spots indicated, 

 but small. Head wider than the elytral apex; front flat, finely 

 alutaceous, without ocular lines; eyes (cf ) separated by about one 

 and one-third times the length of the basal antennal joint. Pro- 

 thorax finely alutaceous, moderately thickly but unevenly punc-

 moderately shining. Front claws of male distinctly enlarged. 

 Length 2.5 mm. Utah. 



The above notes — for the most part supplementary to the 

 original description — were drawn from the unique type several 

 years ago, and I have seen nothing since which seemed identical. 

 Following is Bowditch's description. 



" Medium sized, cylindrical, pale yellow, with livid clouds and ]iunctures. 

 Length 2\ mm. 



"Head with pubescent and nearly flat front, jiunctured, with heavj' frontal 

 and vertex marks, the former divided so as to include the roots of the antennae, 

 which are quite dark throughout, but have the basal joints somewhat brown- 

 red, and reach a little beyond the middle of the body; eyes distant (cf ), thorax 

 yellow, wider than long, narrowed at front and also a little at rear, in its greatest 

 length not quite half as long as the elytra, thickly but unevenly, finely, livid- 

 brown punctured, M diffusely indicated by the thickening of the punctures, 

 which leave the edges more or less free, especially the sides and anterior angles, 

 lateral edge subangulate and well forward of the middle, transverse impres- 

 sion not well defined; elytra parallel, pale yellow, with moderate livid-brown 

 punctures, which are diffused on the anterior half up to about the eighth inter- 

 val, except that the third and fifth intervals are narrowly complete^ to the 

 base and show a well marked triangular shield, the rear and side is regularly 

 striate punctate, the color from the pvmctures more or less suffusing the inter- 

 vals, the exterior standard spots also show faintly in livid, marginal stria 

 lightly curved and barely sinuate, lobe well developed, with a strong row of
