so. Head aud labium together slightly longer than -wide; front and occiput 

 strongly convex and declivous at the sides, flat above; eyes large, at scarcely 

 their own length from the base; sides behind them slightly convergent, 

 strongly arcuate; base broad, truncate; antenna? slender, very feebly in eras- 

 sate, scarcely as long as the head and prothorax together; second joint slen- 

 der, elongate, much longer than the third; joints three to ten decreasing in 

 length, the former more than twice as long as wide, the latter very slightly 

 wider thau long. Prolhorax slightly wider than long, widest at one-third its 

 length from the apex, where the sides are rather broadly arcuate, thence 

 rather strongly convergent and nearly coarctattly rounded to the apex, and 

 slightly less strongly convergent and feebly sinuate to the base; the latter 

 broadly and strongly arcuate throughout, four-fifths as wide as the disk and 

 slightly wider than the apex; the latter broadly and feebly arcuate throughout; 

 basal angles very obtuse and distinctly rounded ; disk broadly and rather strong- 

 ly convex, depressed in the middle toward base, and immediately before the 

 basal margin transversely and feebly impressed. Elytra sat base one-fouith 

 wider than the prouotum; sides nearly parallel, feebly arcuate near the base, 

 strongly so near the apex; apical angles acute and slightly produced; together 

 subtruncate behind, feebly emarginate at the suture; disk nearly quadrate, 

 two-nfths longer than the pronotum, feebly and nearly evenly convex; su- 

 ture very finely margined. Abdomen distinctly narrower than the elytra; 

 sides parallel and nearly straight; border wide and prominent; surface feebly 

 convex; three basal segments rather deeply impressed at base but not more 

 densely or coarsely punctate, not carinate in the middle. Legs moderate in 

 lengtb, very slender; tibia? densely herissate with coarse, semi-erect seta?; 

 joints of the posterior tarsi decreasing rather rapidly in length, first nearly 

 one-half longer than the second. Length 2.5 mm. 



California; (Monterey Co. 1). 



This species is rather closely allied to T. Harfordi, but 

 differs in its smaller size, shorter, smaller and more trans- 

 verse prothorax, and denser and stronger punctuation. 



The middle cox?e are distinctly although not widely sepa- 

 rated; the mesosternal process is rather short, broadly an- 

 gulate, the apex of the angle being broadly rounded; the 

 connecting surface is deeply impressed 



AUTALIA Leach. 



A. elegans u - S P- — Rather slender and depressed; head and abdomen 

 toward tip pictous-black, remainder dark piceo-castaneous; antenna? dark 

 fuscous throughout; legs rather pale brownish-fiavate; pubescence fine, sparse, 

 long aud distinct; integuments polished. Head slightly longer than wide; 

 semicircularly rounded behind from eye to eye; surface strongly and evenly
