NORTH AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 91 



This singular species was placed by LeConte in his genus Parcmdrita, 

 but there is apparently no valid reason for such separation. The reason 

 given in the classification, viz. : the emargination of the labrum, will not 

 hold good, as this is a peculiarity of many other species acknowledged to 

 be genuine Lsemophloei. It belongs probably to the same group as 

 WoUaston's axillarvt, from Madeira, and is still more closely allied to 

 Grouvelle's capita from Mexico. 



It seems to be quite rare in collections; one specimen (Horn) — three 

 specimens (LeConte) — all from Southern California. 



17. li. angnstulus Lee. — Form elongated, narrow and sub-cylindrical; 

 sides parallel. Surface punctured, elytra striate and sub-costate ; punctures of 

 head coarse, close and elongated, those of prothorax finer. Color of body, legs and 

 antennae testaceous. Head sub-triangular; eyes small, not prominent, on the sides 

 and well advanced; surface not pubescent. Prothorax of same width as head, 

 longer than wide, and slightly narrowed behind; anterior and posterior angles 

 well marked; sides nearly straight; lateral striae moderately distinct; surface 

 covered sparingly with pubescence. Elytra a little longer thau the head and pro- 

 thorax together, of same width as the latter; entire and evenly rounded behind. 

 Metasternum very long, so that the abdomen is hardly one-half the length of the 

 elytra. Abdominal segments sub-equal, the first a little longer than the others. 

 Antennae short, slightly longer than the prothorax, first joint moderate; joints 

 two to eight smaller, sub-globular; last three rather abruptly enlarged and flat- 

 tened, forming a loose club. Length 2.0 mm.

Also appears to be a rather uncommon species. I have specimens 

 before me from D. C. and Col. 



18. Ij. Schwarzi n. sp. — Form elongated, depressed; sides parallel; surface 

 of head and prothorax not distinctly punctured, but rather coarsely granulated. 

 Elytra striate and bordered; entire surface pubescent. Color testaceous, antennae 

 same, legs a little paler. Head sub-triangular, eyes small, advanced and convex. 

 Prothorax a little w:der thau head, as broad as long, perceptibly narrowed behind; 

 sides arcuate; anterior angles rounded; posterior angles prominent and right; 

 lateral striae moderately strong. Elytra about one-half as long again as the head 

 and prothorax together; entire and evenly rounded behind; sides parallel and 

 straight. Abdominal segments sub-equal. Scutellum small and triangular. An- 

 tennae visibly shorter than the head and prothorax together; first joint equal in 

 length to eye, second smaller, third to eighth still smallerandglobular, eighth joint 

 smallest, ninth to eleventh abruptly enlarged and flattened, forming a loose club. 

 Length 1.2— l.S mm.

Resembles an(/ustubis in the antennae and length of elytra, and /emt- 

 ffineus in depression of body and form of prothorax. Rare in collections ; 

 one specimen (LeConte) Fla. two specimens (Schwarz) Fla. and D. C.
