REVISION OF ELEODIINI — BLAISDELL. 341 



Genital characters^ male. — Edeagophore elongately oblong-ovate 

 and slightly arched. 



Basale elongate oblong, slightly narrowing apically ; surface evenly 

 convex and the sides feebly arcuate. 



Apkude triangular; surface moderately convex, without groove; 

 sides quite strongly sinuate in apical two-thirds, apex appearing 

 attenuate and acute; base obtusely lobed at the middle and sinuate 

 laterally. 



Stern ite transversely parabolic in outline. Each lobe subtriangu- 

 lar; surface feebly convex and glabrous, punctate and setose in apical 

 three-fourths, punctures rather dense, especially about apex, seta> 

 moderate in length, longer about apical margin ; external margin 

 more or less arcuate to apex, the latter introrse and rather narrowly 

 rounded ; internal margin quite straight. Membrane not setose across 

 the bottom of the sinus, the latter rather deep and triangular. 



Female. — Genital segment triangular, obtuse at apex and moder- 

 ately depressed; surface nearly plane, well chitinized, and sparsely 

 setose. 



Valcula (Plate (>, fig. 1). Dorsal plate oblong, four times as long 

 as wide ; surface glabrous and shining, slightly concave, very sparsely 

 punctate and setose in apical moiety, sette fine; sides parallel and 

 more or less feebly arcuate or sinuous; apical margin evenly rounded. 

 Apex short and more or less chitinized, finely and rather densely 

 setose, setiv slightly longer at tip. 



A'pfendage short mannnilliform with pencil of moderately long 

 setff' at tip ; fossa in the external surface of apex and not covered by 

 apical margin of the dorsal plate, setse just noticeably longer about its 

 margins. 



Superior pudendal 'membrane longitudinally rugulose and attain- 

 ing the apical fourth of the dorsal plate. 



Basal prominences scarcely evident. 



Ventrolateral surfaces flattened centrally to base, triangular, sur- 

 face Hues straight, viewed longitudinally; laterally moderately 

 rounded. Submarginal groove well developed beneath the slightly 

 explanate external border of the dorsal plate, and attaining the fossa, 

 surface scarcely at all concave before the apex. Internal margins 

 of the valves contiguous in basal two-thirds; genital fissure narrow 

 in apical third, inferior pudendal membrane not visible. 



Habitat. — California (San Diego County). I have taken this 

 species upon the Bolcan Mountain, which borders Warner's ranch. 

 It probably occurs throughout the Cuyamaca Ilange, also at Poway 

 (elevation, 700 feet). Examples are before me from the Blanchard 

 collection, and others received from D. W. Coquillett a number of 

 years ago, all, however, from the above-named county.
