AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 141 



A. guttula, Lee. Ann. Lye. v., p. 178; Chaud. Bull. Mosc. 1871, i., p. 44.— 

 Head nearly black, sparsely punctulate. Antennae pale testaceous. Thorax 

 piceo-testaceous, margin paler. Elytra pale yellowish testaceous, striae nearly 

 obsolete, and with three brownish spots at the posterior third, as follows : a com- 

 mon oval spot larger than the others with a prolongation forward along the 

 suture, and a smaller spot on each side of an irregular oval form very near the 

 margin ; apical margin narrowly broader with brown. Body beneath and legs 

 pale testaceous, abdomen nearly black. Length .12 — .16 inch ; 3 — 4 mm. 

 Occurs in California, Nevada and Utah. 



A. bivittata, Fab. (Carabus) Ent. Syst. Suppl., p. 59; Chaud. Bull. Mosc. 

 1S71, i., p. 45; quadrivittata, Dej. Spec. i.,p. 268. — Head black. Antenna? black, 

 basal joints testaceous. Thorax rufous, moderataly convex, very narrowly mar- 

 gined. Elytra black with an oblique white stripe starting at the humerus ex- 

 tending nearly to the apex and ending at the second stria; a short lateral 

 6tripe near to the margin, gradually broader behind. Epipleurse black. Body 

 beneath and abdomen pale rufous, meso- and metasternum black. Femora 

 rufous, black at tips, tibise and tarsi usually black. Length .22 inch; 5.5 mm. 

 Occurs in the Southern and Western States. 



A. bilineata, Motsch. Bull. Mosc. 1859, iii., p. 145, pi. iii., fig. 6. 

 This species is almost an exact reproduction of the preceding and 

 differs as follows: elytra with an oblique stripe, lateral stripe absent, 

 abdomen black, last two segments rufous. Length .22 inch ; 5.5 mm. 

 One specimen from Fort Tejon, California, in my cabinet. 



Two species in our list of Lebiae remain unaccounted for. 



Li. angnlata, Boheman, Res. Eugen. 1858, p. 7; goniodera G. and H. Cata- 

 logus, p. 138. 



This species is said to be from California, but the localities of the 

 insects collected on the voyage are so mixed as to be unreliable. Chau- 

 doir says (Bull. Mosc. 1870, ii., p. 113) that the species is a Rhom- 

 bodera ; the name proposed by Gemminger and Harold is therefore 

 unnecessary.

This insect certainly does not belong to the Lebiidae verse as re- 

 stricted by Chaudoir. The following characters may serve to explain 

 its relationship. 



Mentum with broad tooth of merely semi-corneous structure, basal mem- 

 brane of ligula distinct on each side; epilobes of mentum distinct, the suture 

 dividing the tooth from the body of mentum. Ligula obtuse at apex, bisetose, 

 slightly longer than the paroglossae which are entirely connate with it, mem- 

 branous and pilose at apex. Maxillary and labial palpi similar, terminal joints
