500 CASEY 



punctures, each puncture attended anteriorly by a fine carina 

 extending almost to the next puncture ; abdomen rather strongly 

 but sparsely punctured. Length 3.3 mm.; width 0.68 mm. 

 Southern California rotundicoUis Lee. 



The carinas attending the elytral punctures are almost exactly 

 as in Anepsms, and it is certain that these two genera should 

 not be widely separated. 



We have now concluded all the tribes placed in the subfamily 

 Tentyriinee by LeConte and Horn, by reason of lacking the 

 coriaceous hind margin of the subapical ventral segments and 

 absence of the trochantin of the intermediate coxae, but, as 

 before remarked under the tribe Zopherini, it is much more 

 than probable to my mind, that we should divide LeConte and 

 Horn's first two subfamilies in a different way, limiting the 

 Tentyriinas solely to those forms with a very large mentum. 

 Then we have another subfamily, including all the tribes from 

 Zopherini to, but not including, the Asidini of Horn, disregard- 

 ing the trochantin but associating together genera that very 

 evidently resemble each other in general habitus ; then, in suc- 

 cession, the Asidinae, limited to the tribe Asidini of Horn, and 

 finally the Coniontinae, an isolated subfamily group, comprising 

 the tribes Coniontini, Praocini, Branchini and Coelini, the genera 

 Ccelus and Ccelomoj'pha, composing the last named, not being 

 properly tribal associates of Coniontis and Eusattus. This is 

 by no means a finality of conclusion, simply occurring to me as 

 a suggestion, but on the strength of this habital resemblance, I 

 will include in the present paper the five following genera, hav- 

 ing a distinct trochantin interposed between the sterna which 

 enclose the middle coxae externally : — 



Body nearly as in Batuliodes but larger and stouter, convex, glabrous ; 

 head similarly trapezoidal but with the clypeus very broadly and 

 feebly sinuate toward the middle and less completely covering 

 the mouth-parts, the sides not anteriorly prominent ; eyes basal, 

 more rounded and less coarsely faceted, generally completely di- 

 vided in a similar manner by the thick anterior canthus, which 

 similarly attains the transverse basal line of the eye, the lower part 

 wholly inferior and much smaller than the upper part ; antennae, 

 mandibles, mentum and palpi similar, except that the antenna; are 

 shorter, with the third joint longer than the second ; prothorax and 

 elytra similar, the intercoxal process of the prosternum similarly
