COLEOPTERA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, 125 



but once, at Redondo in April: nuerens is described 

 from "California." 



Pseudebaeus. — P. bicolor, or a closely allied species, is 

 generally distributed and not uncommon. 



Attains. — The various species occur on flowers, and 

 when found may usually be taken in numbers. A. tri- 

 maculatv.s is not common at Pomona, but seems more so 

 farther north: rufomarginaius is common throughout 

 the foot-hills of the Sierras: oregonensis occurs in the 

 same localities as the last, but is rare with us: basalis 

 is rather common at Pomona, Pasadena and Yuma: 

 cinctus and dijfficilis are described from Yuma: lobulatus 

 is common at various places both east and west of the 

 mountains: transinarinus. is known only from San Cle- 

 mente Island. There are in my collection several ap- 

 parently undescribed species from various parts of the 

 State. 



Pristoscelis. — Specimens of P. grandiceps have been 

 taken at Pasadena (July) by Dr. Fenyes; it is a rare in- 

 sect. 



Eudasytes. — Casey described E. ursinusirom. "South- 

 ern California," and amplus from California simply. 



Asydates. — A. rufiveniris is described from Santa 

 Barbara: explanatus is not rare in cactus blooms; Palm 

 Springs (April), and at Yuma in March. 



Trichochrous. — According to Casey this genus should 

 be used for the greater number of the species now re- 

 ferred in our list to Pristoscelis. He describes very many 

 new species in his late revision; but there are not a 

 few in my collection still evidently without names. They 

 occur abundantly on flowers, as do the most of the spe- 

 cies of allied genera. T. antennaius occurs at Riverside
