08 COLEOrTERA OF THE TRIBE CLERINI 



Prothorax red with anterior margin black, varying to entirely blaek, 

 elytra dark green with metallic reflections. 



cyanipennis var. dasytoides Westwood 

 Prothorax longer, sides evitlently constricted near apex. 

 Elytra dark blue or black. 



Legs black thoracicus Olivier 



Legs pale yellowish thoracicus var. pallipes ^^\)lcott 



Enoclerus erro new species 



Form similar to E. lecontei Wolcott {nigrivcntris Leconte, preoccui)ictl), but 

 more robust and more depressed. Black, slightly aeneous, shining, apical and 

 basal thoracic margins (the former broadly, the latter narrowly), basal fourth 

 of elytra and trochanters rufo-castaneous. Head sparsely, finely punctate, 

 more densely so toward the eyes and on occiput, densely clothed with recum- 

 bent and erect long, very coarse white hairs, a few rather long black hairs on 

 occiput. Prothorax finely, rugoscly punctate, pubescence as in hcoidci. 

 Elytra finely subgranulose, very finely and densely punctate, basal region 

 nearly sinooth, with a small number of large, shallow, scattered punctures, 

 showing no tendency to become lineal in arrangement excepting a few which 

 form a feeble subsutural row, basal fourth and apical third clothed with 

 coarse whitish pubescence, the entire surface with erect and semi-erect sparse 

 black hairs. Metasternum alutaceous, minutely, very sparsely punctate, 

 with a few feebly impressed large punctures. Abdomen more densely and 

 coarsely punctate than in lecontei. Length, G.2 mm. 



Santa Rita Mountains, Arizona, 5,000-8,000 feet, July. (F. H. 

 Snow.) Holotype, a female (No. 121), in iny collection. 



Allied to lecontei but differing from that species by the wider 

 head and jirolhorax, the ])roader and more depressed form and 

 lh(> nio]'(> si)arsely and less uniformly punctate head. The median 

 anguhitcd l;and of whitish i)ul)escence seen in lecontei is here 

 entirely wanting, and llie whole of the liasal foinlli of the elytra 

 ((>xcei)1ing Die two lai'ge, olrLuse basal tubercles) is rather (k'lise- 

 ly cloliictl with whitisli hairs, wh(M'("as in lecontei there is a band 

 of these haiis at about basal fourth niid (he suture from this 

 band to the base is also clothed with siinihu' hairs. 



Enoclerus longissimus new species 



El(ii:g:il(', slender, iiidderately convex, shining, blacU, mandibles, antennae, 

 front tibiae and all the larsi ruro-i)iceous; sparsely clothed with erect and semi- 

 erect black hairs with a few gray lecumbent hairs intermixed; elytra with 

 an antemedian fascia of grayish-white hairs. Head, including the eyes, sub- 

 equal in width to the prothorax, minutely, remotely punctate. Prothorax as 

 long as wide, minutely, sj)arsely punctate. ]';iylra one-third wider than the 

 I)n)thorax, two and two-thirds as long as wide at base, sides subparallel, very 

 shghliy l)roader at apical third, thence arcuate to apex, the apices separately
