of the latter in the Le Conte Collection seems to be 

 distinct, is found quite frequently on willows in spring 

 at Pomona, Riverside, Pasadena, etc. L. ornatulus, San 

 Bernardino Mountains, June (Daggett); much commoner 

 farther north: pilosus, described from San Diego; my 

 specimens are from Sonoma County: calif ornicus, widely 

 diffused and generally common; specimens were dug out 

 of a dead log at Pomona in February: canus, described 

 from San Diego; my specimens are from San Francisco; 

 it seems quite uncommon, at least in the south. Of the 

 other species of the genus occurring within the State, — 

 fulvipes is rather rare about San Francisco; maculicollis 

 is found in the middle Sierras and north; consiviilis in 

 Santa Clara County, nitididus in the north, and a species 

 near discoideus, and now passing as that, in Kern and 

 Sonoma counties. 



Pityobius murrayi. — This species occurs, but not over 

 abundantly, from Marin County north. 



Athous. — A. excavatus, not rare, by beating and sweep- 

 ing in the foot-hills, and at higher altitudes of the 

 southern Sierras: limbatus, rare in the San Bernardino 

 Mountains; I have also taken it at Lake Tahoe. Two 

 undescribed species have been taken in our district; one 

 of them common in the San Bernardino Mountains; 

 the other represented by two specimens taken near 

 Pomona. A. opilinus is found in the middle Sierras: 

 excavatus, in the Coast Range, south of San Francisco: 

 vlttiger and nigripilis in the north. There are be- 

 sides in my collection six unidentified and probably 

 undescribed species from the middle and northern 

 regions. 



Leptoschema. — Specimens of protractum have been 

 seen from Santa Clara County.
