COLEOPTERA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 155 



Timarcha. — T. intricate is northern. I have seen 

 specimens collected by Van Dyke in Mendocino County. 



Leptinotarsa. — L. behrensi and L. ll-lineata are quoted 

 from "So. Cal." in Linell's recent table. I have not 

 seen specimens, but they will be found only in the 

 southeast, if really inhabitants of our region. 



Calligrapha. — C. elegans var. californica is a rare spe- 

 cies in Southern California; I have seen small series 

 secured at Pomona and Pasadena, in June; Los Angeles 

 (Van Dyke): siginoidea and serpentina are more or less 

 common in the middle and northern parts of the State, 

 the former having occurred as far south as Santa Bar- 

 bara (Fuchs). 



Chrysomela. — C. inornata, "Cal." ■ ^ 



Plagiodera. — One example of prasinella , San Bernar- 

 dino Mountains; it is more common in Tulare County 

 and about San Francisco. 



Gastroidea. — G. cyaneii, not rare at Pomona in May; 

 probably found throughout the State; the variety cassia 

 occurs near San Francisco. 



Lina. — L. californica, L. lappoaica, and L. scripta are 

 all common in various localities of middle and northern 

 California. 



Gonioctena. — 1 have a specimen of pallida bearing a 

 "Cal." label. If the specimen is really from the State 

 it must be from the north. 



Trirhabda. — I have a specimen of canadensis from 

 Yosemite Valley; it is probably confined to high alti- 

 tudes or to the extreme north in this State: geminata, 

 San Diego: caduca, Owens Valley, Arrowhead Springs, 

 Pasadena, during May and June: luteocincta and jiavo- 

 ■marginaia are found both in the larval and mature form
