median basal fovea and extending one-fourth of the length 
from the neck. The arcuate transverse sulcus limits each 
side of the median fovea, a leaf-shaped elevation, inclining 
backwards, and surmounted anteriorly by a_ sharp-pointed 
tubercle; behind, and between this and the base is a 
small fovea. The lateral foveze are deep, funnel shaped, 
near the margin, with the usual outwardly arcuate sulcus; 
behind and outside of the lateral fovea is a pointed tubercle, 
causing the irregular situation of the lateral margin. lytra 
convex, coarsely, but not densely, punctured, the punctures 
shallow but conspicuous. The shoulders are remarkably high 
and angular, with a blunt tubercle; sutural lines parallel, sharp, 
the discal lines short, very fine, one-fourth long, on a slight, 
longitudinal depression. The basal foveole are three in 
number on each elytron. Addomen impunctate, the basal fovea 
deep, carinz obsolete, short; the basal segment is slightly 
longer than the fourth, and as long as the second and third 
together. Last ventral with deep rounded impression. 
Habitat. Placer county, California. Discovered by Mr.

H[ead as wide as long, front concave between the prominent 
antennal tubercles, and anteriorly continuous with the clypeus, 
posteriorly limited by the circumambient sulcus, which ends 
near the base in a large, round, nude, fovea; vertex with a 
conspicuous oblong impression in the center, a minute hemis- 
pherical tubercle at the base; edge of lateral border rounded, 
not carinate, the frontal tubercle crossed obliquely by a short 
channel. Antenne as long as the head and thorax; first joint 
cylindrical, slightly concave above, and convex beneath; 
second not narrower, obconical; second to sixth rounded, 
oblong, gradually smaller; seventh and eighth as wide as 
long, obconical; ninth and tenth transverse, obconical, rounded; 
gradually wider, not longer; eleventh as long as the three >
