Length 7-7.8 mm. Type — Black, basal two joints of antennas, 

 "I and prothorax, rufous, the latter with posterior discal darker 



III cloud. Varies to entirely black or with the elytra yellow, with

 ij toward the base. 



|l Antennae rather strongly serrate, scarcely longer than half the 



body in the male. 



Head finely sparsely punctate, tempora short, parallel, the hind 

 , angles and sides beneath coarsely rugosely punctate. 



Prothorax finely sparsely punctate, sides as a rule less strongly

J, Ten examples (9 (5 's, 1 $ ) are known to me. The type was col-

j It has been taken by Dr. Fenyes at Tahoe City In June and by Dr. 



I Van Dyke at Nash Mine, 5000 feet, and CarrvIUe, Trinity Co., 



June 14-16. Two examples from Humptulips, Wash., have been 

 sent me by Dr. Van Dyke. 



In appearance and characters longUobus is closely allied to ser-
