Tulare Co., California. Two males and two females in coll. Dietz 

 which were mixed with typical latipewiis. 



This is the species referred to as latipennis by Major Casey in 

 the remarks following the description of his ai-cuata.'^ The true 

 latipennis has a narrower thorax, similar to luxatum, different form of 

 elytra, the humeri serrate and the elytral margin more narrowly reflexed 

 near base than at apex. 



C. dieizii is best placed near discors, which it more resembles than 

 latipennis. 



Languria apicalis, new species. 



Elongate, red, legs, except femora at base, and elytra metallic green, antennae 

 and the last abdominal segment black, elytra sinuate before the sutural angles. Head 

 red, not coarsely punctured ; antenna black, basal joint reddish, club five jointed. 

 Thorax longer than wide, sides slightly arcuate, hind angles acute, basal foveolre 

 short but distinct, punctuations finer at sides than on the disk, not coarse nor closely 

 placed. Elytra punctate striate, intervals smooth, with a row of very fine scarcely 

 visible punctures, obsolete in some specimens, slightly narrowing to apex, sinuate 

 before the sutural angles. Body beneath and femore at base red, the rest of the legs 

 metallic green, last abdominal segment black, which is more densely punctured than 

 the rest of the underside. Length, 8-iomm. 



Brownsville, Texas. 



Seven specimens, two in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum 

 and five in the National Museum in Washington. 



Type. —No. 8156, U. S. National Museum. 



This is very distinct from any of the described species by the sin- 

 uate elytral apices. In one specimen, collected by C. H. T. Town- 

 send the sinuation is very strongly marked. The thorax differs in 

 shape as usual in this genus, in some specimens the sides are nearly 

 parallel, while in others they are slightly arcuate and feebly sinuate 

 before the hind angles. A specimen collected by Mr. Schwarz has 

 the elytra blue and the thorax broader and more narrowed in front 

 but does not differ otherwise.
