The two species made known below are sufficiently conspicuous to 

 permit their description in an isolated manner. It is to be hoped 

 that the genus may receive a thorough and much needed revision in 

 the near future. 



C iiiirHhiliK sp. nov. — Black, elytra ferrugineous brown, vestiture of 

 upper surface dense, sericeous, reddish orange in color, the hairs lying in such 

 directions as to present the appearance of darker bands and spots. As viewed 

 perpendicularly from above they are as follows: the entire posterior half of the 

 prothorax. except for a median transverse row of four small spots ; and the front 

 margin, except the angles ; on the elytra three transverse bands— a broader 

 irregular sub-basal one, a narrower one slightly post-median, and a smaller one 

 before the apex, all narrowly interrupted at the suture. .\nteuuje reaching the 

 base of the prothorax, second joint scarcely more than half the length of the 

 third, the latter triangular and nearly as long, but narrower than the fourth ; 

 joints 3-11 subequal in length, the middle ones slightly wider and nearly as wide 

 as long. Prothorax as wide as long, sides strongly rounded and deeply sinuate 

 before the hind angles, which are strongly divergent, acuminate, and finely cari- 

 nate; surface densely, finely punctate. Elytra very slightly wider at base than 

 the thorax, a little wider behind, finely striate, striae punctate, interspaces finely 

 punctulate but not rugose. Beneath sparsely clothed with short brownish hairs. 

 Prothoracic flanks rather coarsely and densely punctate, otherwise finely not 

 closely punctate. Length 93 mm.; width 4 mm. 



This exceedingly beautiful species has been kindly donated by 

 Mr. Ralph Hopping, who took two specimens at Kaweah in the 

 Sierras of Tulare County, California. Three others have recently 

 been taken by Dr. Fenyes near the entrance to Yosemite Valley. 

 The antennse are nearly as in fallax, which species mlrabUis, in a 

 general way, resembles in the arrangement of the pubescence. 



C tigrinu!^ sp. nov. 



Nearly similar in form, color and markings to triundulahis, the 

 principal differences being as follows: Size distinctly larger (12 

 mm.) ; thora.x more rounded at sides, densely and less finely punc- 

 tate, disk with a spot on either side of the middle bearing erect 

 black hairs, and j)osterior to each of these a similar but smaller 

 spot; surface duller; the transverse bands of the elytra blacker, 

 the hairs on these areas being blackish and contrasting sharply 

 with the otherwise grayish pubescence. The antennse are similar, 

 but the second and third joints are together obviously longer than 

 the fourth, the latter being wider and longer than any of those 

 following. 



The unique type is from Lake Tahoe, California. It is appar-
