Antennae reddish brown. Prothorax convex, usually with nearly 

 straight sides; punctures deep, well separated and becoming coarser 

 towards middle and base; pubescence coarse and closely appressed, 

 with white and pale brown hairs intermingled. Scutellum broad, 

 with finer hairs. Elytra with prominent humeri, a well-marked 

 intrahumeral depression and a slight umbone between it and depres- 

 sion below scutellum; punctation not too dense or coarse, with some 

 ridging and covered with dense, appressed white and pale brownish 

 hairs producing a gray appearance. Body beneath densely covered 

 with a little finer gray pubescence. Length 5.5-6.8 mm.; width 

 1.7-3.5 mm.

Remarks: The gray appearance of these slender little beetles is 

 the most noticeable character. The pubescence is dense, coarse, and 

 of mixed white and very pale brownish hairs, and also covers the 

 surface below, obscuring any lustre such as is evident in 67. septentrio- 

 nalis. The range of this species is more limited than that of 67. septen- 

 trionalis, as it has not been found north of Oregon, and there only 

 from the middle of the state eastward into southern Idaho and north- 

 west Wyoming. There is only one record of its food plant, and that is 

 of its being taken on juniper. 



This species has been rather generally misidentified in collections 

 possibly because Horn synonymized it with 67. albida LeConte, which 

 is a larger, more robust species and does not occur north of California. 

 The type of 67. longior is badly rubbed with little pubescence left, and 

 since the pubescence in this genus is usually a good character in
