Aramigus — A. fulleri is rapidly spreading through- 

 out Southern California and attacking a variety of trees 

 and shrubs. I have found the beetles from September 

 to November, most frequently on rose bushes. 



Scythropus. — S. calif ornicus is an abundant species in 

 the middle Sierras. Specimens taken on pines in the 

 San Bernardino Mountains are probably distinct, but 

 are left here for the present: lateralis is described from 

 Lake County, ferrugineus from Marin County, cinereus 

 from Lake Tahoe. 



CURCULIONID^. 



Sitones. — 8. sordidus, "San Francisco and San Diego;" 

 it is unknown to the writer: crinitus, one example taken 

 at Pomona is so referred: nebulosus, one example, 

 Pomona, July: hispidiceps is the commonest species in 

 the vicinity of Los Angeles; identified by Capt. Casey, 

 who writes that his p)roininens and angustulus are to be 

 considered synonymous with this species: explicitus, not 

 rare at San Diego in February. I have taken one spec-

 San Bernardino Mountains in July. The following are 

 credited to the State, but their recognition is practically 

 impossible as our literature now stands: calif ornicus, 

 ** Cal. and Oreg.;" vittatus, San Francisco; varians, 

 sparsus and osculans, Humboldt County; margaritosus, 

 Santa Cruz and Monterey; procerus, Napa; occidentalis , 

 Sonoma; montanus, Placer County; alternans, "Cal.;" 

 apacheanus, "So. Cal. or Ariz." 



Triglyphus. — T. ater, middle Sierras; a fine species 

 which appears to be decidedly rare. 



Apion. — A. pennsylvanicum is one of our rarer species, 

 occurring at Pasadena in May and August; it is widely
