about middle, three below these in an arcuate row and a transverse spot of 

 irregular outline near apex. Head coarsely punctate. Antennae rufo-testaceous 

 last three joints piceous and wider than the preceding joints. Prothorax about 

 twice as wid s long ; base wider than apex ; sides feebly arcuate and not 

 sermte ; hind angles feebly rounded ; basal impressions deep, circular ; surface 

 coarsely and densely punctate. Elytra oval ; surface confusedly punctate ; striae- 

 feebly punctate and scarcely visible. Body beneath and legs rufo-testaceous, 

 coarsely punctate ; presternum at middle less closely punctate and more shining. 

 Length 4 mm.

As usual the maculation is variable and one or more spots may be 

 absent, even in the same specimen one side of the elytra may have 

 one or two spots less than the other. The elytral striae are more 

 faintly punctate than in calif orniciis Horn and in some specimens 

 scarcely traceable. It differs from that species, besides the elytral 

 maculation, in having a more densely and coarsely punctate prothorax 

 and three-jointed antennal club. In confiisus Horn, which I do not 

 know, the elytra are said to be also very feebly striate, but the 

 antennal club is four-jointed and the elytra maculate as in flcxuosus 

 Say. 

 3. Litargus grandis, new species. 



Elongate oval, rather depressed ; color piceous, legs pale ; three undulate- 

 transverse rows of pale spots on elytra yellowish, which are situated near 

 base, at basal third and slightly below middle and also some more indistinct 

 spots on prothorax. Head moderately coarsely and densely punctate ; antennae 

 elongate with a narrow, loose, three-jointed club. Prothorax rather more than, 

 twice as wide as long; sides arcuately narrowing to apex; basal angles feebly 

 rounded ; basal impressions distinct, linear, surface moderately coarsely, not 

 densely punctate ; pubescence black or piceous and yellow, the latter color con- 

 densed into more or less distinct small spots. Elytra elongate oval ; sides 

 feebly narrowing to apex ; apex broadly rounded ; surface confusedly punctate 

 and moderately densely pubescent, pubescence piceous and yellow, the latter 

 forming more or less distinct transverse rows of small spots. Underside 

 ferruginous, moderately densely punctate. The anterior tarsi of the male are 

 slightly dilated and three-jointed, in the female more slender and four- 

 jointed. Length 4.5 mm.

The yellow spots on the prothorax are not as distinct as those on- 

 the elytra, which latter, however, may also be almost absent as in 

 one of the specimens before me. The large size, depressed form,, 

 the elytra without series of semi-erect hairs and the rather elongate-
