Ophistomis. — 0. ventralis, "So. Cal.;" Ei Taste, Lower 

 California. 



Ipochus. — /. fasciatus is not uncommon under bark, 

 and by beating, especially Rhus. Blaisdell reports 

 larvse taken from the wood of Rhus Integrifolia at Coro- 

 nado, and Rhus laurina at Poway. Larvse have been 

 found by Coquillett in dead and dry apple twigs. The 

 beetles are abroad from February to Sept. 



Monilema. — M. spoliatum has been taken by Mr. W. G. 

 Wright, exact locality not stated. 



Monohammus. — M. maculosus is not rare at Lake 

 Tahoe (Fenyes) and north. 



Synaphceta. — S.guexi, rare at Pomona and Pasadena, 

 March and April; it has been bred from dead limbs of 

 uEsculus californica, by Rivers. 



Ccenopceus. — G. palmeri has been taken in numbers at 

 San Bernardino by Mr. W. G. Wright; breeds in Opuntia. 



Hyperplatys. — The form of aspersus described by 

 Casey as californica, and which according to Leng is 

 only a variety of Say's species, is not unfrequently 

 taken about San Francisco. 1 have myself found it in 

 Marin County in August.
