hairs; first segment strongly convex, without a median groove; 

 last segment broadly rounded and strongly serrulate at apex ; suture 

 between first and second segments distinctly indicated at the sides; 

 vertical portions of the segments with slightly denser whitish 

 pubescence; pygidium coarsely, sparsely punctate, and feebly cari- 

 nate, but the carina not projecting. Presternum coarsely, densely r 

 punctate, sparsely clothed with long, semierect, whitish hairs, and 

 with a feeble, longitudinal depression at middle; prosternal lobe 

 broad, strongly declivous, broadly, arcuately emarginate in front, 

 and forming a rounded lobe on each side of the emargination; 

 prosternal process broad, the sides parallel to behind the coxal 

 cavities, then broadly rounded to the apex, which is acute. Tibiae 

 slender, the anterior pair slightly arcuate, and the anterior and 

 middle pairs armed with a short tooth on the inner margin at apex. 

 Posterior tarsi slightly shorter than the tibiae, and the first joint 

 about as long as the following two joints united. Tarsal claws 

 similar on all feet, cleft near the middle, the inner tooth broad, 

 shorter than the outer one, and not turned inward. 



Length, 8.25 mm.; width, 2.4 mm. 



Female. — Unknown. 



Type locality. — Pasadena, Calif. 



Other localities. — Los Angeles, Calif. 



Type.— Cat. No. 40999, U.S.N.M. 



Paratype. — In collection of J. N. Knull. 



Described from two males, the type collected at the type locality, 

 July 27, 1901, by C. H. Merriam, and the paratype labeled " Los 

 Angeles, Calif." 



This species is allied to walsinghami Crotch, but it can be at 

 once separated from that species by the coloration and absence 

 of pubescent spots on the elytra.
