California (San Die<ro). Mr. Ch Fuchs. 



Allied to densa but differing radically in its black legs, much 

 smaller and still more dense pronotal punctures, without trace of 

 the median impunctate line usually quite distinct in that species, 

 and with much coarser and more conspicuous set®. It also resem- 

 bles depj-essa, but is much less depressed, as can be readily seen in 

 profile, and has the body more rhomboidal ; the subsquamiform setae 

 are not so coarse and are less dense. 



6 Onycliobaris insidiosa n. sp. — Oblong-oval, moderately convex, 

 subopaque, grayish-black throughout, the setse very short. Head finely, 

 closely punctate anteriorly, limited by a transverse impunctate line ; beak 

 very densely, finely but strongly punctate, with a fine dorsal impunctate line, 

 strongly arcuate, distinctly tapering from base to apex, very slightly longer 

 than the prothorax ; antennje slender, the second funicular joint longer than 

 wide and nearly one-half longer than the third. Prothorax about two-fifths 

 wider than long, nearly as in densa but with the punctures much smaller, fine, 

 deep, nearly in mutual contact but not polygonally compressed, rather more 

 than one third as wide as the scutellum. Scutellum small, transverse, not dis- 

 tinctly impressed. Elytra nearly one-fourth longer than wide, quite distinctly 

 less than twice as long as the prothorax, and, at the moderately prominent 

 humeri, slightly wider than the latter ; sides feebly convergent, the apex 

 semi-circular; disk with moderately coarse, deep, abrupt, irregularly punc- 

 tate striae, the intervals flat, alternating somewhat in width, the wider about 

 twice as wide as the grooves, all finely, densely, unevenly and subrugulosely 

 punctured. Abdomen shining, finely, not very strongly or densely punctured. 

 Prosternum flat, the coxfe rather small, separated by one-half more than their 

 own width. Length 2.3-3.3 mm. ; width 1.1-1. G mm. 



Western Texas (Big Springs) — Mr. H. F. Wickham ; Southern 

 California. 



A rather small, e.xtremely densely and somewhat finely sculp- 

 tured, subopaque species, allied to densa, but differing in the much 

 finer punctures of the pronotum, smaller size and somewhat broader 

 form. Thirteen specimens. 



7 Onycliobaris subtonsa Lee. — Proc. Am. Phil. Soc, XV, p. 295. 



Oval, rather strongly convex and shining, black throughout, the 

 sette distinct. The beak in the female is strongly and almo.st evenly 

 arcuate, not distinctly tapering from base to apex and is slightly 

 longer than the prothorax, the second funicular joint one-half longer 

 than the third. The prothorax is barely one-fourth wider than 

 long, the sides very feebly convergent and almost straight nearly 

 to the apex, then strongly rounded and distinctly constricted, the
