124 CASEY 



SO laterally, the bead moderately coarse, not at all cur\'ed at base ; 

 scutellum moderate, not very transverse, convexly declivous an- 

 teriorly ; elytra scarcely one-half longer than wide, parallel, the 

 sides rounding rather abruptly near apical third, thence obliquely 

 converging and less arcuate to the ogival apex ; surface very 

 coarsely, deeply but not very closely punctate, the interspaces not 

 notably convex, rugose apically ; prosternum coarsely, strongly, 

 very closely and conspicuously punctate throughout, pubescent, 

 the process but feebly constricted, strongly rounded at apex ; hind 

 femora strongly, closely punctate basally, more sparsely elsewhere, 

 the abdomen not very finely and unusually strongly so. Length 

 ii.o mm.; width 5.3 mm. (d^). Oregon (Albany), — H. F.

13 — Base of the prothorax abruptly posteriorly oblique at the sides, 



the angles obviously prominent posteriorly 14 



Base of the prothorax broadly, subevenly bisinuate, not abruptly oblique 

 laterally, the angles barely at all prominent posteriorly ; antennae 

 notably slender, the joints much elongated; size very small 16 



14 — Head very sparsely but unevenly punctate. Body oblong-oval, 



moderately convex, subalutaceous, not very deep black, the legs 

 and antennce rufescent ; pubescence sparse, fulvous ; head moder- 

 ately large, the punctures somewhat coarse, more aggregated near 

 the transverse suture, very sparse elsewhere, the sinus rather 

 narrow, deeply parabolic, the anterior canthus broadly rounded, 

 about as prominent as the posterior ; antennae rather slender, the 

 joints moderately elongate ; prothorax one-half wider than long, 

 the sides rounded and converging anteriorly, becoming gradually 

 very feebly arcuate and almost but not quite parallel through basal 

 three-fifths ; apex rather shallowly sinuate, almost two-thirds as 

 wide as the base, with the angles right and only slightly blunt ; 

 surface rather finely but stronglv, remotely and unevenly punc- 

 tate, with a rather pronounced median impunctate line, gradually 

 rather strongly but still not closely punctate toward the sides, the 

 bead rather fine, not curved at base ; scutellum moderate, trans- 

 versely and sharply triangular ; elytra less than one-half longer 

 than wide, rounding at the sides behind the middle, the apex 

 moderately obtusely ogival ; surface only moderately coarsely, 

 rather sparsely punctate, strongly rugose posteriorly ; prosternum 

 finely but strongly, perforately and not very closely punctate, the 

 process strongly rounded at tip, not margined except feebly 

 toward its base ; hind femora very minutely, remotely punctate, 

 the abdomen somewhat more strongly though very finely. 

 Length 10.5 mm.; width 4.75 mm. (?)• " Cal." 



extricata n. sp. 



Head more closely, subevenly punctate throughout 15 



15 — Form nearly as in extricata^ somewhat brownish-black, the tarsi 

 and anteimai rufescent; lustre rather shining, the pubescence very 

 obvious, fulvous ; head with the sinus moderately wide, not very
