REVISION OF ELEODTINI BLATSDELT.. 507 



Length, 10 mm.; width, 4.5 mm.; o-reatcst width of epipleura, 

 1.5 mm. 



Type-specimen. — Number 10023, University Califoniia Collection 

 of Invertebrate Palneontolog-y. 



The type, an elytron Avhich is "narrowl}- oval" with its fellow of 

 the opposite side would give a more broadly oval figure, like that 

 observed in a small parriroJlis^ the dorsal surface being somewhat 

 flattened. 



ELEODES INTERMEDIA Grinnell. 



A complete abdomen, meso- and metathorax. with elytra, consti- 

 tutes the type ; the speciuien is quite strongly flattened. 



The form of the body is broadly oval and truncate anteriorly. 



Elytra truncate at base ; huuieri rounded and not prominent ; sides 

 evenly arcuate; apex not narrowly rounded; disk evidenth^ flattened 

 on the dorsum, and moderately convex, more strongly and arcuately 

 rounded laterally; surface quite densely and submuricately punc- 

 tate, punctures coalescing more or less, the interstices convex, forming 

 slight transverse rugulfe; sculpturing denser and coarser lateralljr 

 and on apex, not in the least striate; surface evidently evenly and 

 moderately arcuatel}' declivous posteriori. 



E plpleurce rather broad at base, gradually narrowing to apex; sur- 

 face distinctly concave throughout, finely, subasperately, and sparsely 

 punctate; superior margin strong, quite sharp and prominent, not 

 sinuate beneath the humeri, but straight in the anterior moiety, and 

 thence quite evenly and gradually arcuately descending to apex as 

 viewed longitudinally. 



Mesosternum evidently feebly arcuately declivous, deeply concave 

 at middle between the prominent and rounded acetabular borders; 

 very densely, rather finely and confluently punctate. 



Metasternum and episterna densel}^ and rather finely punctate. The 

 metasternum laterally between the coxse apparently about two-thirds 

 as long as the post-coxal part of the first abdominal segment. 



Ahdomen densely and moderately coarsely punctate. First segment 

 at middle evidently as long as the second and third segments com- 

 bined ; intercoxal salient quadrate and distinctly transverse, surface 

 concave and evidently with glabrous areas, equal in length to the post- 

 coxal part of the same segment ; second and third segments evidently 

 equal in length and each subequal to the length of the post-coxal part 

 of the first. 



Length, 12 mm. ; width of elytra, 8.5 nun. 



Type -specimen. — Number 10026, University California collection 

 of Livertebrate Palaeontology, 



This specimen is related to parrieoU'ts, antl I believe specifically 

 identical with hehr'ti; the latter is smaller and probably a male, while 

 intermedia is the female.
