The mesosternum in caviceps and apparently pectinicornis also is 

 somewhat intermediate between the species of Trichophoriis and 

 OrtJwstcthiis. 



Agriotes brunneus new species. 



Form of pubescens, dark brown, antennae and legs slightly paler, pubes- 

 cens yellowish-cinereous, short and sparse. Head coarsely and closely punc- 

 tate ; antennae with second and third joints nearly equal and each slightly 

 smaller than fourth joint. Prothorax as long as wide at base; sides from the 

 basal angles to apex feebly converging, near apex slightly arcuate, surface 

 opaque and coarsely and closely punctate with large ocellate punctures, deeply 

 impressed medially near base, hind angles feebly divergent and feebly cari- 

 nate. Elytra a little less than two and one half times as long as the pro- 

 thorax, sides very feebly arcuate ; surface striate punctate, punctures elongate 

 and close ; intervals nearly flat, closely and rather finely punctate, near base 

 rugose. Prosternum shining, coarsely and closely punctate, side pieces dull 

 and slightly less coarsely punctate than prosternum. Metasternum and ab- 

 domen closely punctate, the latter more finely than the former. Length 1 1 mm. 



Beaver Canon, Utah (Doll and Engelhardt). 



This species is to be placed near fiicosus. It is slightly more ro- 

 bust than that species and has an opaque and more densely punctate 

 prothorax. 



Glyphonyx bimarginatus new species. 



Elongate, rufo-testaceous, prothorax and suture darker, legs and antennae 

 yellowish. Head coarsely and rather closely punctate ; a small, longitudinal 

 impression on the median line ; anterior margin feebly angulate ; antennae 

 reaching beyond the hind angles of prothorax, second and third joints equal. 

 Prothorax nearly parallel-sided to a little before apex ; hind angles feebly 

 divergent ; lateral carina long, extending nearly to the apical margin ; inferior 

 marginal carina strong and rather widely separated at apex from the lateral 

 carina ; surface closely punctate at sides with moderate punctures, which are 

 sparser at middle, from the middle to nearly to base a smooth median line. 

 Elytra gradually narrowing to apex ; striae rather coarsely and closely punc- 

 tate ; intervals feebly convex, sparsely and finely punctate. Prosternum 

 sparsely punctate at middle, punctures a little larger at sides and apex ; pro- 

 pleurae a little more coarsely punctate than prosternum at sides ; prosternal 

 process acuminate, V-shaped and strongly margined. Metasternum coarsely 

 and closely punctate ; abdomen moderately closely and more finely punctate at 

 middle. Length 5 mm.
