elytra only a little, though evidently, wider than the prothorax 

 and four-fifths longer, fully three-fourths longer than wide, the 

 sculpture rough in irregular transverse plicae, feebler, sparser and 

 mixed with some small and irregular tubercles toward the sides, 

 the plicie and interspaces equally shining; prosternum rather 

 closely punctato-tuberculose, the abdomen coarsely, not densely 

 punctured throughout. Length 17. 8 mm.; width 6.7 mm. 

 California, — Cab. Levette californicus n. sp. 



Body rather less stout and convex, much more inflated posteriorly, 

 nearly as in ventriosus^ densely dull and without lustre ; head 

 rather coarsely, very sparsely punctured ; prothorax small, nearly 

 as long as wide, the sides broadly rounded, with a mere trace of 

 prominence before the middle, more converging toward base but 

 only slightly tuberculose, the basal margin thick though onl}' 

 slightly elevated ; surface rather sparsely and somewhat irreg- 

 ularly, moderately coarsely punctate, the punctures very feebly 

 muricate, closer, i-ather coarser and scarcely at all muricate later- 

 ally ; elytra fully a fifth wider than the prothorax and nearly 

 twice as long, barely three-fourths longer than wide, the surface 

 with moderate and somewhat sparse punctures, each attended by 

 a small and feeble, slightly transverse tubercle, evenly distributed 

 but not evidently lineate in arrangement ; prosternum irregularly 

 and closely but not very strongly punctato-tuberculose, the abdo- 

 men coarsely, moderately closely punctured, gradually less 

 coarsely posteriorly. Length 16.0 mm.; width 6.5 mm. Cali-

7 — Form very elongate and slender, the upper surface more feebly 

 convex, moderately dull in lustre ; head not very coarsely, sparsely 

 punctured ; prothorax fully as long as wide, the sides very feebly 

 subprominent near apical two-fifths, thence but slightly converg- 

 ing and feebly arcuate, becoming gradually strongly rounded to the 

 apex, converging posteriorly, straight for a short distance from the 

 prominence, then moderately arcuate and tuberculose to the short 

 basal sinus, the basal margin not very thick, abruptly and strongly 

 elevated; surface finely, simply and sparsely punctate, becoming 

 more coarsely and closely so only near the sides anteriorly ; scutel- 

 lum minute, angular ; elytra very elongate, more than twice as long 

 as wide, as wide as the prothorax to slightly narrower and nearly 

 twice as long, the surface with very coarse, generally subtrans- 

 verse and vermiculate impressed lines, strong toward base and near 

 the apex, moderate elsewhere, also finely, sparsely, sublinearly 

 punctate; prosternum foveate and tuberculose, the abdomen 

 moderately coarsely punctate, coarsely so basally. Length 15.5- 

 18.0 mm.; width 5.0-6.0 mm. Arizona, — Warren Knaus.

Form very slender, much smaller in size, convex, less flattened above, 

 less dull, the lustre rather shining and simply alutaceous; head
