men of reniotestriata compared by Mr. Waterhouse, and by him 

 labeled " very close to A. discors Kby." From the remarks of Kirby 

 " elytra less glossy than the rest of the body, the infinitely minute 

 and numerous granular reticulations of their substance being more 

 conspicuous than usual," taken with Mr. Waterhouse' s label seems 

 to me to leave no doubt as to the identity of discors. 



The distribution of this species is very extended. Starting from 

 Alaska, it comes south through British Columbia, Washington and 

 Oregon to northern California, and through Hudson's Bay Territory 

 to Canada. In the Atlantic region I have seen it from New York 

 and New Jersey. In the more western regions it is known from 

 Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana, Idaho, Colorado and New Mexico. 

 Doubtless, it is found in the New England States, and as far as 

 Labrador, but I have no sj)eciinens to indicate this nor any from the 

 region westward of New York to Kansas. 



A. l^inorHlis n. sp. — Ohloiig oval, narrower than remotestriata, piceous, 

 shininor, surface distinctly bronzed, .\ntennte pale brown, the basal joints paler. 

 Head smooth, the frontal impressions rather broad and moderately deep. Thorax 

 a little less than twice as wide at base as long, apex slightly emarginate, the an- 

 terior angles feebly prominent in front, sides arcuately narrowed at apical half, 

 nearly parallel thence to base, hind angles rectangular, disc moderately convex, 

 with the depression at sides quite evident, at base on each side two depressions, 

 the inner rather larger, the surface along the base sparsely and indistinctly 

 punctate. Elytra finely, but sharply striate, strife not visibly punctate, intervals 

 fiat in both sexes. Body beneath pice.ous-black. shining. Femora piceous, tibia? 

 and tarsi rufo-testaceous. Length .20 — .25 inch. ; 5 — 6.25 mm. 



The scutellar stria is long and entire. The ocellate punctures of 

 the eighth stria form an interrupted .series. The prosternum has the 

 marginal line at tip and two punctures with short setpe. The males, 

 as in remotestriata, have the middle tibise slightly ai'cuate and the 

 posterior feebly sinuate on the inner side. 



This species is closely related to remotestriata, but the more elon- 

 gate form ; both sexes shining and the piceous femora will readily 

 separate it. 



This species was given me some years ago by Mr. Bowditch, who 

 collected them on Mt. Lincoln and at Argentine Pass, at an elevation 

 of 11,000 to 13,000 feet (3350 to 3970 metres). 



Group gibba. 

 Antennae and legs rufo-testaceous. Hind angles of thorax not 

 sharply rectangular, the disc not deplanate at sides. Prosternum
