below but with prominent carinae at the middle ; viewed from the side the 

 front is rather strongly angled at the middle ; supra-antennal plates oblique, 

 their carinate edge distinct across the whole width but not carried down below 

 the line of the antenns next the eye. Pronotum 3 by 8 mm. ; anterior and 

 posterior margins regularly feebly arcuated, the femora narrowly calloused as 

 in the allied species ; prominent humeral angles subquadrate, the sides an- 

 teriorly regularly feebly arcuated. Mesonotal X less transverse than in 

 triangulata or synodica. Merecanthi narrower and shorter than in triangulata, 

 not quite as long as the opercula. Basal areole of the elytra oblong, parallel, 

 the inner margin Rectilinear and the apex cut off square. Last ventral seg- 

 ment of the male rather short and truncated at apex; valve long, 3^^ mm.; 

 vincus with a broad truncated hook at apex. 



Color fuscous or blackish ; pale markings much extended ; margins of the 

 front and tumid apex of the head paler ; vertex with three obscure paler basal 

 spots. Pronotum with the median and lateral impressed lines pale; the pale 

 margins much extended on the sides and humeri; narrow calloused anterior 

 edge conspicuously pale ; mesonotal X and loops mostly or entirely pale as are 

 also the narrow margins of the abdominal segments ; the connexivum broadly 

 pale and marked with transverse black spots above. Valve pale, the genital 

 pieces piceous ; pleural pieces and legs mostly pale ; elytral venation black 

 toward the apex, the basal and base of the adjoining areoles opaque and 

 brown. Length to tip of abdomen 18 mm., to tip of elytra 22 mm. 



Described from two males taken by me on grass along the road 

 five miles north of San Juan Capistrano, Calif., June 25, 1914. 



33. Okanagana minuta Davis, ante. 



This is the smallest Okanagana known to me. The front is 

 unusually prominent and rounded before when viewed from the side, 

 with the superior basal area broad-triangular and the sulcus con- 

 spicuous above but nearly obsolete below. Supra-antennal plates 

 oblique with their carinate edge straight above when viewed from 

 before becoming obsolete on the sides next the eyes. Pronotum 

 broadly feebly arcuated before, more strongly so behind, the anterior 

 slenderly carinate ; sides obtusely emarginate before the rounded 

 humeri. Basal areole of the elytra parallel, its apex slightly oblique. 

 The last ventral segment of the male is narrower than usual and 

 rounded at apex ; uncus elongate-ovate, narrowed to the apex which 

 is armed with rather long and narrow vertical hooks. The pale colors 

 in this species are but little extended with the narrow margins of the 

 abdominal segments and the genital pieces pale. 



Of this species I have seen a series of 13 males kindly sent me for
