Genus ADALERES Casey (189S). 

 Adaleres Casey, Coleop. Not., pt. VI, 1895, p. 816. 

 In the absence of previous type designation the type of this genus 

 is hereby designated as ovipennis Casey. 



Table of species of Adaleres. 



The following table is taken entire from Colonel Casey's treatment 

 of the genus, and is included merely to make the present series of 

 tables to this tribe complete. 



1. Humeri broadly rounded; elytral intervals not alternating in convexity or only 



slightly so near the apex; pronotum nearly smooth and densely and evenly 

 squamose ovipennis Casey. 



2. Humeri oblique, obtusely prominent at a slight distance behind the base; elytra 



more oblong and less oval, the intervals alternately more convex, the suture 

 prominently keeled at the posterior declivity; pronotum coarsely granulose 

 and irregularly squamose humeralis Casey. 



ADALERES OVIPENNIS Casey. 



Material presumably of this species is at hand from Los Angeles, 

 San Diego, and Rainbow, California. Positive identification of the 

 females can not be made. The male nasal plate is very deeply round- 

 ingly emarginate, the rim being very close to the anterior edge at 

 sides, but more broadly and roundingly arcuate than the emargina- 

 tion ; the area is concave and lightly punctate. 



ADALERES HUMERALIS Casey. 



Material is at hand only from Los Angeles, California. Some of the 



specimens formerly classed here belong to the preceding species. The 



male nasal plate is deeply triangularly emarginate, and the rim is also 



angulate, but much more sharply so; the area is depressed and lightly 



punctate. 



Genus PANSCOPUS Sehonherr (1842). 



Panscopus Schonherr, Gen. et Sp. Cure, vol. 6, 1842, pt. 2, p. 266. 

 Phymatinus LeConte, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 1869, p. 382. 

 Nocheles LeConte, Amer. Nat., July, 1874, pp. 453, 456. 

 Nomidus Casey, Coleop. Not., pt. VI, 1895, pp. 818-819. 



The tj\-)Q of Panscopus is erinaceus Say by virtue of original desig- 

 nation, of Phymatinus is gemmatus LeConte because it is monotypic, 

 of Nocheles is torpidus LeConte by present designation, and of 

 Nomidus is ahruptus Casey because it is monotypic. It appears 

 advisable to uliite these genera into a single genus, and give each sub- 

 generic rank. 



Table of species of Panscopus. 



I. Articular surfaces of the hind tibise oblique (corbels open). 



1. Alternate elytral intervals elevated except in sulcirostus, which has all elevated. 

 a^. Abdomen with four segments in the female; humeri obliquely truncate. 



subgenus Nocheles. 

 b^. Funicle sparsely setose not squamose, first two joints very elongate. Third 

 to seventh joints moniliform; scape sparsely clad with narrow scales; 

 nasal plate ogival, rimmed, concave, basally emarginate. 



torpidus LeConte.
