COLEOPTERA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 139 



Amphicoma. — The only specimens of edwardsii from 

 Southern California that 1 have seen were taken by 

 Dr. E.G. Van Dyke in the Santa Monica Mountains. 

 A. canina is not infrequent in the Southern Sierras. 

 Professor Rivers reports finding a single example of 

 ursina on the sand-dunes at Santa Monica; it is not rare 

 in similar situations near San Francisco: cooperi occurs 

 at Sacramento in early July: rathvoni, the middle 

 Sierras. 



Oncerus. — 0. Jioralls, San Diego County, Palm 

 Springs; occurs on flowers during April at the latter 

 locality.

 (Ricksecker): callipyge, not abundant at Pomona, on 

 flowers of grease wood; May and June: puhicollis, not 

 rare at Riverside during April and May, on willows 

 along the Santa Ana River: d'a^par, common from Lake 

 Tahoe to Siskiyou County. Specimens of two appar- 

 ently undescribed species have been taken by Dr. 

 Fenyes and myself at Castle Crag and Lake Tahoe 

 respectively. 



Gymnopyge. — G. hoplktiformis, Mojave Desert (Co- 

 quillett). 



Dichelonycha. — D. crotchii, San Bernardino Moun-

 cula, plentiful in the foot-hills near Pomona, etc., on 

 flowers of greasewood; June: truncata, Pomona, Palm

 pusilla occurs with the two preceding species in the 

 foot-hills near Pomona, but unlike them is also fre- 

 quently taken within the town itself, especially about 

 roses: pallens and clypeata are northern and appear to 

 be not often taken: fulgida and valida are more or less
