REVISION OF TENEBRIONID SUBFAMILY CONIONTIN^ I3I 



shallowly sinuate, two-thirds as wide as the base, with broadly 

 rounded angles ; base very broadly and feebly bisinuate ; surface 

 very sparsely, extremely minutely punctulate, becoming more dis- 

 tinctly but still finely, sparsely so laterally, the bead moderate ; 

 scutellum transverse, sharply triangular ; elytra inflated, very dis- 

 tinctly wider than the prothorax, the sides parallel and broadly 

 arcuate, strongly rounding and converging behind the middle, a 

 little less than one-half longer than wide, the apex ogival ; surface 

 almost smooth, moderately rugose posteriorly, the punctures coarse 

 though much less coarse and sparser than m inorna^a ; prosternum 

 very minutely, sparsely punctate, the process well developed, mod- 

 erately constricted, very strongly margined throughout, not im- 

 pressed ; hind femora finely and sparsely but rather strongly punc- 

 tate, the abdomen extremely minutely, remotely and almost im- 

 perceptibly so. Length ii.Smm.; width 6.0 mm. (?). Cali- 

 fornia. Cab. Levette congesta n. sp. 



Body oblong-elongate, more parallel and less convex than in the two pre- 

 ceding, rather shining, the elytra with small but visible setaa pos- 

 teriorly ; head rather coarsely, sparsely and unevenly punctate 

 throughout, the sinus moderately wide, rather deeply parabolic, 

 the lobes rounded, the anterior canthus obtusely rounded, more 

 prominent than the posterior ; prothorax barely one-half wider 

 than long, the sides converging and feebly arcuate from the base, 

 more strongly near the apex, which is evenly and moderately sinu- 

 ate and fully three-fifths as wide as the base, the angles deflexed, 

 obtuse and moderately rounded ; base broadly, very feebly and 

 evenly bisinuate; surface finely and sparsely though distinctly 

 punctate, becoming rather coarsely and more closely so laterally, 

 the bead moderate ; scutellum moderate, not very transverse, ob- 

 tusely triangular; elytra fully one-half longer than wide, equal in 

 width to the prothorax, the sides parallel, rounding and converg- 

 ing behind the middle to the broadly ogival apex ; surface not 

 rugose, moderately coarsely, very sparsely punctate, the punctures 

 coarser and denser, with the surface rugose, on the declivity ; pro- 

 sternum with strong and only moderately sparse punctures, the 

 process less abbreviated than in mornata^ margined throughout 

 but less strongly, not impressed ; hind femora and abdomen finely 

 but rather strongly, sparsely punctate. Length 13.3 mm.; width 

 5.83. California. Cab. Levette agrestis n. sp. 



36 — Form oblong-suboval, strongly convex, shining throughout, the 

 elytra with small hairs only noticeable posteriorly ; head very 

 coarsely, more or less densely and unevenly punctate, the sinus 

 moderately wide, rather shallow, the lobes not much rounded, the 

 anterior canthus obtusely rounded, more prominent than the pos- 

 terior but not more so than the unusually convex eyes ; prothorax 

 nearly four-fifths wider than long, the sides converging and nearly 

 straight about to apical third, then strongly rounded and more 

 converging to the apex, which is shallowly sinuate and two-thirds 

 as wide as the base, the latter broadly, feebly bisinuate, the an-
