L62 AMi:i:i(AN COLEOPTERA. 



Hub. — Louisiana (Bayou Sara). 



One example — in the Hubbard and Schwarz collection. If the 

 coloration is constant there will be no difficulty in recognizing this 

 species among any at present known. Uniformly colored examples, 

 it' such should OCCUr, might easily be confused with Carolina, <tin/>/l- 

 collis and especially with serrata. From all these the longer diver- 

 gent tempora should distinguish it. The head is much more closely 

 punctate than in Carolina, and the prothorax is less ample than in 

 amplicollis. 



C. oc<*i«Iiiii sp. now — Elongate-oblong, feebly convex, brownish testaceous; 

 pubescence flavo-cinereous, moderately long, recumbent. Head sparsely, finely 

 punctate; tempora from one-fourth to one- fifth the length of the eyes. Antennae 

 nearly reaching the hind angles of the prothorax, the ninth joint about as long 

 as wide, the tenth slightly transverse. Prothorax cordate, widest a short distance 

 before the middle, moderately rounded and convergent behind, the base, how- 

 ever, not much narrower than the apex: margin rather strongly crenulato-den- 

 tic.ulate ; surface sparsely, finely punctate, the punctures of about the same size 

 throughout, and everywhere distant from one to two times their own diameters ; 

 basal fovea round and moderately deep. Elytra elongate, sides parallel, feebly 

 arcuate, striae not distinctly impressed, punctures finer than usual. Beneath 

 sparsely, finely punctate throughout, the punctures larger anteriorly as usual, 

 and those al the sides of the metasternum a little coarser than at the middle, 

 where they are as sparse and fine as on the first ventral segment. Metasternum 

 distinctly longer than the first ventral segment; middle coxa? distant from one- 

 third to one-half the coxal width. Legs moderate. (PI. V, fig. 52). 



Mule. Front and middle ti bias distinctly sinuate and inncronate internally at 

 apex; fifth ventral truncate and very vaguely sinuate at apex, surface slightly 

 roughened and feebly transversely impressed in its apical half. 



Female.— A specimen so referred has the tihise simple as is usual in this sex. the 

 fifth ventral longer and rounded at the apex, without impression. 



Length 2 2.1 mm. 



Hab.— California (San Benardino Mts); Western Nevada (Horn 

 collection); Arizona (Chiricahua Mts); Colorado (Veta Pass). The 

 last two localities represented by specimens so referred in the Hub- 

 hard and Schwarz collection. 



Two males in my collection, from the first-named locality, arc to 

 lie regarded as the types. The other specimens, while probably spe- 

 cifically identical, differ slightly in density or coarseness of sculp- 

 ture. The single specimen from Veta Pass is only 1.6 mm. in 

 length. The types are decidedly more sparsely ami finely punctate 

 than in any of the previously described species. 



<'. <l«*iitig<*ra Lee. Elongate-oblong, moderately convex, usually piceous 

 brown, with somewhat paler legs and antennse; pubescence cinereous, recumbent. 

 Head strongly, moderately closely punctate, tempora rather short, antenna- 

 reaching the hind angles of the prothorax, the ninth and tenth joints barely or
