in the middle, not sharply edjjed at the posterior declivity, the frontal margin 

 transversely depressed and broadly angulate in front; prothorax (PL IV, fig. 20) 

 with the sides slightly sinuate and mutually convergent in an angle of 72° an- 

 teriorly, in the middle arcuate and nearly straight thence to the base, which 

 latter is as wide as the length of the prothorax ; the fovea and grooves as in R. 

 inscuJptus ; elytra with a basal elevated margin. 4 puncture and indications of 

 four lines, the third the longest. 



Discovered by P. Jerome Schmitt in Pennsylvania (Henry Ulke, 

 ibidem). 



Our species of Faromis, from the Pacific coast, Sharp and RafFray 

 declare identical with Sagola Sharp ; and Sonoma cavifrons Casey 

 identical with Sagola parvlceps Maklin. They seem to be widely 

 distributed from Alaska (from whence 1 have the largest specimen, 

 which is as long as F. tolulce Lee.) to San Francisco. Our Faronus 

 tolulce, considered by LeConte a doubtful Faronus, seems to be 

 neither Sagola nor Faronus, and will be investigated by M. A. 

 Raffray. 



Euplectus rufipes Lee. (PI. IV, fig. 9) is said to be a convex form. 

 The figure of a specimen from Iowa agrees with Casey's description, 

 but is a true Euplectus, not resembling a Trimimn. Which is the 

 true form ? 



" Aenisis (Desimia) dispar Sharp, described in the Biologia Cen- 

 trali-Americana, was discovered by my friend, Mr. A. Bolter, in 

 Arizona." 



Remarks on the Scydvicenidce. 



Scydmcenus gracilis Lee is not a Scydmmnus, neither is it a Chev- 

 rolatia. There is nothing known to me with which it can be united. 



Euinicrus Caseyi n. sp. — Form similar to Cholerus Zimmermanni, slender, 

 yellowish brown, polished, impunctate, pubescence abundant, not dense. Length 

 of % 1.1 mm., of 9 1-4 mm. Head trapezeous, widest across the frontal quarter, 

 where the outlines are shortly arcuate, nearly straight and convergent to the 

 neck, the sides rounded, not edged, disc broadly convex, without any impression. 

 Eyes on the sides of the front, in 'J, , as large as the second antennal joint, very 

 flat, of a brown color (nyctalopic), not seen from above; in 9 less than one-third 

 as large as in % and hardly perceptible. Antennae at the base nearly contiguous, 

 separated by a very narrow septum ; 1st joint cylindrical, four times as long as 

 wide ; 2d oval, as wide as 1st ; 3-8 globular, equal ; 9th nearly twice as wide and 

 little longer than the 8th ; 10th larger than 9th, and of the same form ; 11th as 

 long as 9th and 10th together, ovate on third longer than wide. Prothorax as 

 long as wide, seemingly longer, widest one-third from the neck; neck one-half 

 as wide as the base, lateral outlines arcuate anteriorly, slightly sinuate poste- 

 riorly, hind angles rectangular; disc very convex, sides rounded, near the mid- 

 dle of the base on each side a sharp puncture and a transverse, very faintly im- 

 pressed line (in "J, more perceptible), connecting the puncture with a very shallow
