appeared and the name label been attached to something else can- 

 not now be answered. 



The present species would by Horn's latest table fall near 

 lewisii, which it rather closely resembles in a general way, but this 

 latter has the head and prothorax almost impunctate and the 

 oedeagus of an entirely different from. The oedeagus in the present 

 species is very nearly identical with that of labiatus in which species, 

 however, the elytral apex in the male is black, the impression deeper 

 and less close to both suture and apex, the thorax vittate and the 

 labrum and clypeus entirely yellow. 



There are before me 4 .5 's, 2 $ 's taken by Mr. JUunenmacher, 

 June 9-11 in Plumas Co., California. Others collected by Dr. Fen- ^j 

 yes at Tahoe City and Tallac, June. Korn names Calaveras as the ^ 

 type locality of his moulicola, and later gives as additional localities 

 Nevada anci Montana. There is little doubt that he mixed two or 

 more species under this name. 



Pedilus arizoneiisis n. sp. 



Length 5.3-6 mm. Black, antennae blackish brown, surface mod- 

 erately shining, sparsely pubescent. 



Antenna feebly serrate, slightly longer than half the body in 

 the male. 



Head very finely and sparsely punctate, tempora parallel, more 

 coarsely punctate at sides and below. 



Prothorax minutely remotely punctate like the head. 



Elytral punctuation dense, the punctures of medium size. 



Male: Elytra each with a small suboval juxta-sutural smooth 

 apical impression; fifth ventral broadly, rather deeply arcuately 

 emarginate; front and middle tarsi a little dilated; side pieces of 

 oedeagus rather strongly arcuate, the tip broad, excurved, with the 

 outer apical angle a little prominent, inner edge with a very slender 

 and acute spine projecting inward at some distance from the apex. 



Female: Unknown. 



The sexual characters of the i are throughout nearly as in 

 Iczvisii, but there is no appreciable swelling at the elytral apex, the 

 impression is relatively a little smaller, the size of the insect is dis- 

 tinctly less and the color totally black.
