Cape San Lucas ; M-r. John Xantus. The thoracic tubercles 

 are very faint, close to the apex, and separated by the tip of the 

 median furrow. The transverse ridges of the hinder tibia? are 

 prolonged above into spines. The species belongs to Burrneis- 

 ter's division (A — b). 



In the female the horns of the head become merely tubercles, 

 and the subapical tubercles of the thorax are wanting.

 lateribus pube cretacea marginatis, elytris vage haud dense punctatis, 

 apice breviter acute prolongatis, maculis utrinque duabus cretaceis paulo 

 pone medium transversim positis, metasterni lateribus episternisque 

 pube cretacea indutis, epimeris mesosterni macula cretacea, pygidio 

 rugose punctato, nigro-pubescente maculis duabus magnis cretaceis.

Arizona ; Mr. Ulke. A very distinct species from all known 

 to me by description. The epistoma is strongly margined, trun- 

 cate in front, parallel on the sides ; the head is sparsely but 

 coarsely punctured, and the sides are elevated ; between the eyes 

 a medial elevation extends forward opposite the insertion of the 

 antenna?. The middle lobe of the thorax is rounded, and the 

 scutellum is slightly exposed, though very narrow. Besides the 

 white spots mentioned in the diagnosis, the ventral abdominal 

 segments are ornamented with a white spot each side, near the 

 margin of the elytra. The anterior tibia? are armed with a feeble 

 tooth, one-third from the apical angle.
