AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 149 



It differs from that species by the tips of the elytra entire and the 

 color of the surface as well as by the sexual characters. It is our 

 largest Cleride, this male being as large as the female of californicn. 



One specimen kindly given me by Mr. A. S. Fuller, received by 

 him from Texas. 



C. lisfa Lee, does not differ from cylindricollis Chcv., from Mex.

T. simulator n. sp. — Blue black, elytra orange red with two transverse 

 bands and tip bluish black, clothed with yellowish hair, long on the head and 

 thorax, short on the elytra except at base. Head with greeniBh tinge densely 

 punctured. Thorax very coarsely and densely punctured, almost cribrate. 

 Elytra coarsely and deeply punctured, the punctures feebly arranged in series, 

 tip of elytra % truncate, the sutural angle slightly prolonged. Body beneath 

 and legs with moderately long yellowish hair. Length .52 inch; 13 mm. 



This species reproduces almost exactly the markings of apivorus 

 and might readily be mistaken for it. The elytra however differ in 

 the form of the tip and the thorax is more coarsely punctured than in 

 either hihalteatus or apivorns. The antennal club is broadly triangular 

 as in the former, in the latter the club is more elongate as in Nattali. 



Two specimens % , are before me from the cabinet of Mr. A. S. 

 Fuller, collected in Arizona. 



TROGODENDROIV Gue'r. 



T. Edwardsii n. sp. — Black, shining, almost entirely devoid of pubes- 

 cence, elytra orange red, a median fascia interrupted at sides and suture and 

 apex broadly, black. Head black, coarsely but sparsely punctate, front slightly 

 concave, surface with few short yellowish hairs. Antennae black, club very 

 gradually formed. Thorax black, one-half wider than long, narrower at base, 

 apex and base constricted, the latter more strongly, sides between the con- 

 strictions strongly arcuate, surface shining with very few coarse punctures 

 and a few short yellow hairs. Elytra one-half wider than the thorax, humeri 

 moderately prominent, sides at basal fourth parallel, posteriorly arcuately 

 slightly dilated, apices rounded, surface very shining sparsely punctate, punc- 

 tures a little closer toward the apex. Body beneath and legs black, sparsely 

 punctate-, tip of abdomen red. Length .62 inch; 15.5 mm. (PI. Ill, fig. 8). 



The occurrence of this genus in our fauna is remarkable but has 

 its parallel in Aulicus. These two genera are represented by types 

 from Australia, in which the elytra are sculptured with deeply im- 

 pressed punctures. Aid. Nero Spin., has rather finely punctured elytra 

 while in the species here described the elytra are comparatively smooth. 

 Notwithstanding the differences in appearance between Edwardsii and 

 the Australian species there is no generic difference and the case is 

 therefore parallel with that of Aulicus. The form of the present 

 species is that of a broader Glenis, more depressed and broader oven 

 than C. Spinolx.
