if I remember aright there is a specimen entirely red with Mr. Chas. 

 Dury, collected in Arizona and it may belong here. 



Elaphidion subdepressum, new species. 



Brown, somewhat depressed, thorax very coarsely, at middle of disk in front 

 confluently punctured, without callosities, pubescence very sparse, forming six denser 

 spots, two in front of middle, two smaller behind middle, and one on each side at 

 middle of sides ; elytra sparsely pubescent with a somewhat arcuate fascia of denser 

 white pubescence at middle. Head very coarsely, rugosely punctured. Antennae as 

 long as the entire body, brown, third and fourth joints with a small spine, joints slen- 

 der, fifth to eleventh flattened, subangulate at apex. Palpi subequal, last joint trian- 

 gular. Thorax as long as broad, somewhat depressed on the disk, sides arcuate, a 

 little narrower at base than at apex ; disk very coarsely punctured, in front the punc- 

 tures are confluent, without callosities, very sparsely pubescent with white hairs, six 

 spots of denser hairs, two situated at apical third, two at basal third, and two at sides 

 at middle. Elytra broader than the thorax at base, punctuation very coarse and dense 

 around scutellum, sparsely at sides, finer towards apex, which is conjointly rounded and 

 without spines, a slightly arcuate fascia at middle, formed by more densely placed 

 white hairs. Abdomen and femora more sparsely and finely punctate than elytra at 

 base, sparsely pubescent. Length, 8 mm. 



San Felipe, Lower California. One specinaen from Mr. G. 

 Beyer, in the Museum of the Brooklyn Institute. 



The spinous antennae, thorax somewhat depressed without dorsal 

 callosities, apices of elytra and tibiae without spines, place this species 

 near mcBstum Lee. from which it differs in much smaller size, thorax 

 and base of elytra more coarsely and roughly punctured and the white 

 elytral fasciae. 



Pentanodes, new genus. 



Differs from Tetranodes Linell by having the eyes ovate, slightly truncate inside 

 and in the male joints three to seven of the antennre incrassate and clavate. The an- 

 tennae of the females have these joints simple. 



Pentanodes dietzii, new species. 



Reddish, a transverse ivory fascia at middle, apical half of elytra, abdomen and 

 tibiae black, very sparsely clothed with long hairs. Head moderately coarsely, densely 

 punctilred ; eyes small ovate, slightly truncate inside, coarsely granulate. Antennse 

 as long as the body in the male, shorter in female, very finely pubescent, eleven 

 jointed, first joint moderately stout, as long as the fourth, second small, third one 

 third longer than fourth, third and fourth strongly incrassate, fifth and sixth subequal, 

 each longer than fourth, incrassate, but less so than the third and fourth, seventh 

 slightly smaller, clavate, narrower than any of the preceding joints. Thorax longer 

 than twice the width, slightly longitudinally arcuate, densely longitudinally strigose ; 

 base constricted, with a transverse band of white hairs. Elytra slightly wider than 

 the thorax, parallel, strongly depressed before the middle, at base on each side near 

 suture a strong tuberculiform elevation, before the middle a transverse elevated ivory
