antcnnifcrous tubercles subacute, incurved. Distance between ocelli only a 

 little greater than their respective distance from the eyes. Apex of head pass- 

 ing middle of basal joint of antennx. Antenna reddish brown, apex of third 

 and all of fourth joint infuscated ; all joints more or less hispid, particularly 

 the third and base of fourth, the apical three fourths of fourth fine haired; 

 the third joint gradually widening to apex, wider than the apical joint which is 

 spindle-shaped ; first and second joints subequal, the latter most slender, third 

 slightly longer than second, fourth is a trifle shorter than second. Pronotum, 

 with anterior margin nearly transverse, the anterior lateral angles not an- 

 teriorly produced ; the lateral margins slightly concave, at least the anterior 

 two thirds provided with small close set pale elongated tubercles, each armed at 

 apex with a backwardly directed fine bristle ; whole upper surface roughly 

 punctured and more or less infuscated and generally finely tuberculate, at least 

 in front; with a faint median ridge; humeral angle obtusely angled, slightly 

 prominent. Scutellum concolorous, coarsely and roughly punctate, acute apex 

 pale. Corium concolorous. Clavus with about three more or less regular rows 

 of punctures; remainder with coarse setigerous punctures arranged somewhat 

 in rows ; veins elevated and faintly flecked with piceous ; lateral edge of corium 

 finely crenate. Membrane suff^used with brown provided with a few irregular 

 branching veins. Connexivum mottled with fuscous, a transverse pale fascia 

 before the middle of each segment. Beneath paler, sternum coarsely punctate 

 and variegated with piceous. Venter obsoletely wrinkled and mottled with fus- 

 cous, especially in front on both sides ; sparingly clothed with fine appressed 

 hairs set in fine punctures. Femora more or less mottled with fuscous ; 

 tibire paler and hispid; anterior femora unarmed; intermediate femora armed 

 with a small spine before apex ; posterior femora armed with a long slightly 

 curved spine before apex, preceded by a short spine and followed by one or 

 two short spines near apex. Length (^ and $, 7-8 mm. 



Described from three males, Dilley, Or, (my coll.) ; one male, Pull- 

 man, Wash. (Heidemann Coll.); one male, \'an Couver Island 

 (Amer. ]\Ius. Xat. Hist.) ; eight males, St. Cruz Beach. Calif. 

 (Bradley — Cornell Univ. Coll.) one male, Olynipia, Wash. (Kincaid 

 — Cornell Univ. Coll.). Six females, Dilley, Or. (my coll.) ; one 

 female, Tenino, Wash., one female. Lake Tahoe. Calif. (Heidemann 

 Coll.): two females. Van Couver Island (Amer. ^lus. Xat. Hist.); 

 six females, St, Cruz Beach, Calif. (Bradley — Cornell Univ. Coll.). 



This species is closely related to and confused with C. amcricanus 

 and in most collections it is so labelled. It may however be distin- 

 guished from that species by its uniformly smaller size and its color 

 more red; the apex of tylus reaches just beyond the middle of the first 

 segment of antenn.x ; the anterior angle of pronotum is not produced 

 and the intermediate femora are armed with a single spine in place 

 of the anterior pair as in awcricaiius.
