lose elytra. It appears to be the inland representative of the mari- 

 time eschscholtzi. 



C. sllbpilfoesceilS Lee. — Ann. Lye. N. Y., V, p. 131. — Oblong-elongate, 

 parallel, somewhat depressed, feebly shining throughout. Head mud. Tate in 

 size, very coarsely, deeply and not very densely punctured ; antennae long 

 and slender, distinctly incrassate near the apex. Prothorax about two-thirds 

 wiiler than long, the apex moderately sinuate, nearly two thirds as wide as 

 the base, the latter broadly truncate and straight, the basal angles abruptly 

 produced and distinctly prominent posteriorly, acute ; sides arcuate, straighter 

 toward base; disk finely but distinctly, moderately densely punctate, the 

 punctures sparse and rather finer toward the middle; lateral margins strongly 

 but finely beaded and finely grooved within the bead. Elytra distinctly more 

 than twice as long as the prothorax, broadly, feebly and unevenly undulated, 

 the undulations becoming strong coarse rugulosities toward apex ; punctures 

 fine, not very dense, each with a very long fine recumbent hair. Abdomen 

 polished, smooth, sparsely, very finely punctured. Legs well developed, very 

 slender. Length 9.2-10.8 mm.; width 4.2-4.8 mm. 



California (Marin, Santa Clara and San Diego Cos.). 



This species, although assigned here to another section of the 

 genus because of its conspicuous pubescence, is in reality very 

 closely allied to abdominalis and robusta, and in the original type 

 the three eroded grooves on the elytra, characterizing- that group 

 of species, are clearly but of course very faintly visible; another 

 character allying it to abdominalis is the nature of the elytral 

 rugulosity, which is not caused by the coalescence of deep coarse 

 punctures; in subpubescens the punctures toward apex are tine and 

 distributed over the surface of the convexities. It is distributed 

 throughout the maritime districts of California but appears to be 

 rather rare. 



C. Ilioiltana n. sp. — Oblong-elongate, rather feebly convex, sometimes 

 distinctly flattened above, rather feebly declivous behind and gradually, 

 acutely pointed ; surface strongly alutaceous throughout ; elytra frequently 

 conical. Head sparsely but coarsely punctate, the punctures liner posteriorly ; 

 antenna' moderate. Prothorax well developed, from three-fifths to three-fourths 

 wider than long, almost as in subpubescens but with the pubescence shorter ; 

 punctures excessively line toward the middle. Elytra fully two and one-half 

 times as long as the prothorax, feebly undulated, subrngulose toward apex, 

 the punctures throughout rather sparse and extremely tine, each having a 

 long somewhat coarse subrecumbent fulvous hair. Abdomen very feebly sub- 

 alutaceous, finely, sparsely punctate. Legs moderate. Length 10.8-13.0 mm. ; 

 width 5.0-CJ.3 mm.
