COLEOPTERA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 67 



Leptusa. — A single specimen of a species taken at 

 Pomona. 



Oligota. — A minute species is sometimes beaten abun- 

 dantly from the branches of trees; it is quite likely not 

 separable from pusillima. 



Sipalia. — S. frontalis, "California." 



Bryobiota. — B. bicolor is a very small linear species, 

 occurring rather plentifully on the ocean beach at San 

 Diego and Santa Barbara. 



Somatium. — 8. oviforme is occasionally found in some 

 numbers at Pomona, usually by beating. 



Gyronycha. — G. obscura, rather common at times 

 along the banks of streams, Pomona; a smaller form 

 found in the Ojai Valley seems different. G. attenuofa 

 occurs at Monterey and in Napa County. 



Bamona. — B. falliana is not rare at Pomona along the 

 margin of streams. 



Myllaena. — One example of a species taken in Los 

 Angeles County. 



Acylophorus. — A. pronus, taken only in small num- 

 bers at Pomona, January, and Palm Springs in April. 



Heterothops. — H. fumatus var. calif ornicus and H. 

 carbonatus occur not uncommonly near springs or 

 streams: pusio is less frequent in like situations: occi- 

 dentis was taken deep in the detritus of hollow oak 

 stumps at Pomona, February. 



Quedius. — The species occur for the most part under 

 stones or drift along the margins of streams in the foot- 

 hills and mountains, though fulgidus is likely to be 

 found almost anywhere. Q. capucinus and Q. limbifer are
