128 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



lineellus is rare, mountains of Los Angeles County: 

 obtusus, breviuscidus, and se7ninudus are found in middle 

 California; the first named I have taken from coniferous 

 trees at Lake Tahoe: expansus, nitens and cruralis are 

 northern: fastidiosus and minutus are described without 

 definite locality. 



Dasytastes. — D. catalince and D. insularis have thus 

 far been found only on Santa Catalina Island. The 

 former is quite common on various flowers in July; the 

 latter has been taken but once (Aug. 1). D. bicolor is a 

 common species at Pomona in May and June. A small 

 species found by me on oaks in the San Bernardino 

 Mountains is referred to remissus. D. dispar occurs 

 north of San Francisco, and otiosiis is without specific 

 locality. 



Eschatocrepis. — E. constridus is everywhere common. 



Allonyx. — A. sculptilis is an uncommon species; I 

 have taken it at Pomona in June, and at Pasadena early 

 in April. Casey describes denudatus from north of San 

 Francisco, and disjundus from " California." 



Vectura. — V. longiceps is described from Yuma, Ari- 

 zona; it is probable that the specimens were taken on 

 the California side of the river. 



Eurelymis. — E. jiavipes, San Bernardino Mountains, 

 elevation 6,000 feet, July 5 (Daggett); two examples 

 only were taken. This species occurs also in the middle 

 Sierras. 



CLERID.E. 



Elasmocerus. — E. californicus is an uncommon insect 

 of which I have seen specimens taken from Sonoma to 

 Los Angeles counties.
