REVISION OF TENEBRIONID SUBFAMILY CONIONTIN^ 87 



minute and remote throughout, the sides very finely reflexed ; 

 prosternimi finely, sparsely punctate ; abdomen smooth and pol- 

 ished, with extremely minute and remote punctulation throughout. 

 Length 14. 6-15.0 mm. ; width 7.0-7.25 mm. Southern Cali- 

 fornia integer n . sp. 



Tarsi moderately slender, the upper surface distinctly alutaceous, the 

 elytra generally somewhat shining 13 



13 — Form very stout, convex, oblong, glabrous, alutaceous through- 

 out above, the elytra but little less dull than the anterior parts; 

 head not impressed, rather finely but strongly, closely punctate, 

 the anterior canthus scarcely as prominent as the posterior ; 

 prothorax fully three-fifths wider than long, the sides rounding 

 and converging anteriorly, becoming almost straight and parallel 

 in about basal half, very finely reflexed and with elevated bead, 

 the apex broadly, circularly emarginate, two-thirds as wide as the 

 base, the angles obtuse but only slightly rounded ; surface very 

 minutely, sparsely punctate, still finely and sparsely though more 

 distinctly so laterally; scutellum moderate, not very broadly tri- 

 angular; elytra not quite one-half longer than wide, broadly an- 

 gulate at apex, smooth, feebly undulato-rugoseapically, very finely 

 and sparsely punctate, finely and narrowly reflexed at the sides; 

 prosternum finely, rather sparsely punctate, the abdomen minutely, 

 feebly and remotely punctulate. Length 13. 0-14. 7 mm. ; width 

 6.0-7.0 mm. Cab. Levette levettei n. sp. 



Form oblong, rather less convex, smaller in size and narrower, the 

 elytra more shining, the body throughout blackish-piceous in 

 color; head nearly similar throughout but more narrowly and 

 deeply sinuate at apex; prothorax similar and likewise very 

 minutely and sparsely punctate, though with the lateral punctures 

 not nude as they virtually are in the preceding species but bearing 

 each a very small hair; scutellum similar; elytra narrower, about 

 one-half longer than wide, the surface similarly smooth and finely, 

 very sparsely punctate but with the punctures less fine and more 

 distinct than in levettei ; prosternum strongly, somewhat closely 

 but not coarsely punctate, the abdomen very minutely and sparsely. 

 Length 12. 7-13.5 mm.; width 6.3-6.6 mm. Cab. Levette. 



picescens n. sp. 



Form still narrower, convex, the elytra rather shining, deep black, 

 glabrous ; head finely, closely and strongly punctate, not impressed 

 anteriorly, the anterior canthus much less prominent than usual 

 and not extending laterally further than the posterior, the eyes 

 less sunken than in the preceding ; prothorax nearly similar but 

 rather less transverse, one-half wider than long, the sides finely 

 reflexed, the punctures extremely minute, remote and barely 

 visible, still very fine, sparse and nude but more distinct laterally; 

 scutellum rather small, triangular ; elytra about one-half longer 

 than wide, smooth, very obsoletely rugulose posteriorly, some- 

 times with feeble traces of longitudinal lines of greater convexity.
