178 BULLETIN 14 5, UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM 



Redescribed from the male and female cotypes in the LeConte 

 collection in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. 



Type localities. — Oregon (LeConte collection) ; California (Horn 

 collection). 



DISTRIBUTION 



Material examined : 



Arizona: Winslow, July 18 (H. F. Wickham). Huachuca Mountains, July 28 

 (J. S. Hine). 



British Columbia: Osoyoos Valley, August 12 (E. Hearle). 



California: Yreka ( ). Independence, July 17 (H. F. Wickham). Siski- 

 you and Inyo Counties (E. Van Dyke). No definite locality, cotypes 

 (Horn). 



Idaho: Boise City (L. Bruner). 



Nevada: Carson City, July 30 (H. F. Wickham). 



New Mexico: Jemez Springs, August 6 (J. Woodgate). Luna (H. F. Wickham). 

 Santa Fe, August; Tseque (A. Fenyes). 



Oregon: Josephine County ( ). No definite locality, cotype (Walsingham). 



Utah: Vineyard, August 29 (Tom Spalding) St. George, July (H. F. Wickham). 



It is also recorded by Horn (1891) from Texas in the Seeber collection (prob- 

 ably incorrectly labeled). 



Variations. — This species shows a remarkable sexual color dimor- 

 phism which has been overlooked by all the older writers. The 

 median depression on the pronotum is sometimes nearly obliterated, 

 and is never very deep as in cavatws, and the lateral depressions are 

 sometimes feebly impressed from near the apical angles to the base 

 on the inner side of the prehumeral elevation. In some examples 

 the tips of the elytra are more acutely rounded than in others, and 

 the pubescent spots are more or less abraded. Length 9 to 13 

 millimeters. 



Host. — Unknown. 



Crotch states in the original description that the scutellum is 

 carinate, but I have not seen any examples in which the scutellum 

 could be considered as carinate. Horn (1891) writes that the tibiae 

 of the females are unarmed at the apex, but in reality they have a 

 very minute tooth at the apex, which varies more or less in length. 

 Chamberlin (1917) gives the type locality as Yreka, Calif., but 

 the male and female cotypes No. 5080 in the LeConte collection are 

 simply labeled " Or." and the male cotype No. 2714 in the Horn col- 

 lection is labeled " Cal.," so there seems to be no definite type locality.
