172 DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 



medium albo-pubescente, apice truncatis, et 3 vel 4-deuticulatis ; pedibu? 

 piceis, antennis flavo-testaceis. Long. 4-5 mm. 



Lower California, Mr. Ulke. A singular species, but resem- 

 bling entirely in form and size G. minuta. The elytra are dis- 

 tinctly truncate at tip, and the truncature is serrate, the suture 

 and outer angle being prominent, with one or two intermediate 

 cusps. 



CALI4DIIJM Fabk. 



485. C. vile. Nigrum, subtiliter cinereo-pubescens, protborace latitu- 

 dine vix breviore, lateribus rotundatis, fortiter punctato ; elytris sat 

 dense fortiter punctatis, et transversini rugosis ; antennaruui articulo 

 2do sequente triplo breviore. Long. 4'5 mm. 



Mendocino, California ; collected by Mr. Behrens. Readily 

 known by the small size, black color, and coarse sculpture. The 

 thighs are strongly clubbed, the front coxa? are contiguous, and 

 the mesosternum obtusely triangular. I cannot see the meso- 

 notum, but I have no doubt from the other characters that there 

 is no stridulating surface. 



4SG. C. llirtelllllU. Elongatum minus depressum, nigrum nitidum, 

 pubescens, et pilis nigris erectis villosum, protborace ferrugineo, punc- 

 tato, callis Isevibns baud elevatis omato, latitudiue paulo breviore, 

 lateribus rotundatis ; elytris concinne punctatis ssepe testaceis ; antennis 

 pilosis, basi rufescentibus, articulo 2do 3io dimidio breviore. Long. 

 8 mm. 



Nevada, Mr. Ulke. Two specimens, one of which is black, 

 with the prothorax ferruginous; the other has also the elytra 

 brownish ferruginous. The raesonotum is smooth and polished, 

 with a few scattered punctures; the mesosternum is triangular ; 

 the thighs strongly clubbed, the front coxas contiguous. C. 

 sereum Newman (pallipes ffald.), belongs to the same division 

 of the genus, characterized by the rather stout antennas, not 

 thickened but very hairy towards the base, with the 2d joint about 

 half as long as the 3d, and the punctuation less dense than in the 

 metallic blue species.

 valde rotundatis, postice subsinuatis ; elytris subreticulatim grosse 

 punctatis, punctis versum apicem paulo minoribus. Long. 12-5 mm.
