globosa is common on the seashore, near San Francisco: 

 huTneralis is said to be from " Cal." 



Anemia. — A. calif ornica, Owens Valley. 



Platydema. — P. subquadratum, Colorado River. Mr. 

 Wickham reports it as not rare in August at East Bridge, 

 just across the river from Needles. P. oy^egonensis is rather 

 common about fungus on old stumps, under bark, etc., 

 in the Sierras from San Diego County north. 



Alphitophagus. — A. hifasciatus is not especially un- 

 common of late at Pasadena and in the neighboring 

 mountains. 



Hypophlceus . — H. suhstriatus occurs in the Sierras, 

 under bark: opaculus is very scarce; two examples were 

 taken in March from the burrows of Monarthriiin scutel- 

 lare, in live-oak. 



Pentaphyllus. — P. californicus is northern. 



Eleates — E. explanatus and E. occidentalis both occur 

 on fungus growing on logs in the region about Lake 

 Tahoe; the former also inhabits the forests to the north- 

 ward of San Francisco. 



Megeleates. — M. seqiioiarvbra, middle Sierras — Lake 

 Tahoe and Calaveras. The larva has been taken by Dr. 

 Blaisdell in a species of woody fungus, and has been de- 

 scribed by Wickham. 



Apocrypha. — A. anthicoides, Pomona, Pasadena, San 

 Diego; uncommon. All specimens seen have been taken 

 in early spring. Dr. Fenyes once found it associated 

 with ants, but perhaps accidentally, as this habit has 

 not been elsewhere noticed. A. di/schirioides is said by 

 Blaisdell to occur rarely near San Diego: clivinoides is 

 found in Owens Valley.
