upward before bending rectangularly downward, and apical lunule; 

 both lunules sometimes broken into dots. Head slightly hairy in 

 front, granulate rugose ; labrum obsoletely three-toothed or one 

 toothed ; thorax short, slightly narrowed behind, impressions deep, 

 green at base, a few hairs on each side above ; elytra black, tinged 

 with green and coppery reflections, margins green ; behind the 

 humeri gradually broader, punctate more finely towards the base, 

 apices not serrulate; beneath, the palpi, flanks of thorax, femora, 

 coxae, pleurae and sides of abdomen are densely clothed with long 

 white hair. 



This species has had an unfortunate career in our collection-, and 

 is, perhaps, misrepresented in many at the present time. In Dr. 

 Horn's own collection all the specimens under the lal)el are not 

 senilis. All the specimens from Inyo Co., which have been named 

 senilis, are probably pseudosenilis. Prof. Schaupp gives the locality 

 for senilis as " Cal. (San Diego), Nev., Utah," and there can be little 

 doubt that his Utah specimens at least were echo. The true senilis 

 has a limited range, and the specimens I have seen can be readily 

 distinguished by the peculiarly heavy middle band bending arcu- 

 ately upward as it leaves the margin. 



The type of senilis is simply labeled "Gala," but identical speci- 

 mens in Dr. Horn's collection, as I am advised by Dr. Henry Skin- 

 ner, are labeled " San Rafael," which is in Alameda Co.

Length 10-12 mm.=.40-.48 inch. 



Habitat. -Oregon, seacoast. 



Head and thorax cupreous, with metallic green spaces on the head 

 and in the impressions of the thorax, elytra dark metallic green, 

 with coppery reflection and polished cupreous suture, or brown with 

 cupreous suture ; beneath green. Elytral markings broad, consist- 

 ing of humeral lunule obliquely prolonged, middle band connected 

 with marginal line, and apical lunule; the middle band enters per- 

 pendicularly, is bent at an obtuse angle and extends obliquely nearly 

 to the suture. Head striate in front and between the eyes, not or 

 scarcely hairy; labrum one-toothed; thorax slightly convex, almost 

 quadrate, deeply impressed, sparsely hairy at sides; elytra uniformly 

 granulate punctate, not serrulate at apex. Beneath, the palpi,
