2 T. nior'billosa Lee. — Paclf. R. R. Rep., App. 1, p. 58 ; Horn : Proe. 

 Am. Phil. Soc, XIII, p. 4G7 (Analcis). 



Closely allied to foveolcUa, but a little less robust, the elytra more 

 elongate and with the small spots and posterior interrupted band 

 composed of squamules which arc whiter and slightly broader, the 

 scales of the small spots on the head and flanks of the prothorax 

 still broader. The prothorax is shorter, with the apex relatively 

 wider, broadly arcuate, the sides in basal three-fifths nearly parallel 

 and much less arcuate, thence feebly convergent and just visiljly 

 sinuate to the apex ; fovea? smaller, rather sparser and very unevenly 

 distributed. Elytra one-fourth wider than the prothorax and rather 

 more than twice as long, the sides parallel and nearly straight in 

 basal two-thirds, the apex narrowly parabolic; humeri right, slightly 

 blunt; foveae very large, uneven in outline, forming vague series 

 and almost contiguous toward base, the series fine, slightly im- 

 pressed and very feebly punctate toward apex, the two lateral more 

 distinctly punctate and feebly carinate externally in apical half. 

 Length 5.0 mm. ; width 2.0 mm. 



California (San Francisco). The unique type in the LeConte 

 cabinet is the only specimen which I have seen. This species may 

 possibly prove to be a geographical variatioif of foveolata, but it is 

 impossible to pronounce any definite opinion until more specimens 

 are discovered. 



3 T. angustllla n. sp. — Subelongate, strongly convex, black, the legs 

 dark piceo-rufous ; integuments dull, the elytra more shining, subglabrous 

 but with a small condensed spot of recumbent squamules on tlie front, a few 

 scattered squamules near the centre of the occiput, some very sparse indefinite 

 spots on the prothorax and anterior parts of the elytra especially near the 

 scutellum, an oblique spot near apical fourth and aiaother between this and 

 the apex of each elytron, the squamules whitish in color. Head and beak 

 very unevenly but distinctly punctate, the former more sparsely and with an 

 indistinct frontal fovea ; beak very short, barely one-half longer than wide ; 

 antenuEe rufous, the basal joint of the funicle very robust, not quite as long 

 as the second which is slender and obconical ; club densely clothed with short 

 coarse pearly pubescence. Prothorax not quite as long as wide, the sides 

 broadly, distinctly arcuate in basal three-fifths, becoming more convergent 

 near the base, strongly convergent and nearly straight in apical two-fifths, 

 the apex strongly arcuate and much narrower than the base ; disk with ex- 

 tremely large deep uneven and partially confluent fovea, without smooth 

 median line. Elytra elongate, one-fifth wider than the prothorax and almost 

 two and one-half times as long, subjiarallel, the apical portion ogival, with 

 the extreme apex subtruncate ; humeri broadly exposed, obliquely subtrun-
