280 REVISIOX OF THE TEN-EIiKIo.Vin.E OF AMERICA, 



This species and the succeeding hear a remarkable resemblance to the figure of Cryp- 

 toglossa bicostata, Ann. Soc. Entom. V.. pi. 24. fi<i. 13. less tin- two costae of that species. 



('. variolosa, Mark, sub-opaque. Head very coarsely and in front densely punctured. Thorax as broad as 

 long, emarginate in front, nun. air behind, sides broadly rounded, slight!] narrowed behind, angles rectangular, disc 

 feebly convex, very coarsely punctured, becoming more dense at the sides and base. Elytra elongate oval, truncate 

 at base, moderately convex above, declivous behind, surface with regular series of elevated s »th tubercles, becom- 

 ing rather more acute posteriorly, but not spiculate. Hind femora feebly granulate and coarsely punctured within. 

 Mi-mum convex at middle with an oblique groove each side, and verj coarsely and confluently punctured. Pro- and 

 mesostemum as in the preceding species. Length .so inch. 



Rather common at Fort Grant, Arizona. Numerous specimens were collected by my- 

 self during the Winter of l<S(i;"). 



C. seriata, Lee, Cryptoglossa Prop. Acad. 1861, .137. Oochila teriata, Lee, List . Col. X. Am. Smith- 

 sonian Collie. 140, ]>. 59. 



Differs from our other species by the truncate presternum and the nearly smooth fem- 

 ora. Mentum coarsely but not densely punctured. It cannot be separated from Centii- 

 optera. and is but one link of the chain that will at no very distant day unite this "vnus 

 with Cryptoglossa. 



Not rare in Lower California. Collected abundantly by Mr. Wm. M. Gabb. 



Length .75-.86 inch. 



C. infausta, Lee, Asbolus) Proc. Acad. VII, 04. Oochila infausta, Lee, List. p. o9. 



The most robust and least convex of the species of the genus, resembling strongly our 

 species of Cryptoglossa, particularly loevis, Lee. The elytra are not tuberculate, the hind 

 femora are very coarsely granulate within, the presternum produced. The mentum is 

 coarsely and sparsely punctured, with a slight depression in front. 

 \ single specimen from Texas. Length .80 inch. 



C. caraboides, Mann., Bull. Mose. 1843-280, figured in Guerin Menev. Magaz. d. Zool. Ins. 1843, pi. 126. 



This species is unknown to us. It is very probable that spiculifera, Lee, is identical 

 with it. 



CRYPTOGLOSSA, Sol. 



Cryotorjlossa, Sol., Ann. Soc. Entom. V.. 680. 



('. verrucosa, T.cc. Asl,,dus Ann. Lye 5-129; Lac. (Crypt.) Gen. Col. V., 138. 



Opaque, elytra with series of elevated tubercles. 

 Abundant along the Gila, under dead Yucca. 

 Length .65— .90 inch. 



C. IsBvis, Lee, Asbolus) loe cit. ; Lac. Crypt.) loc. cit. 



Smooth, shining. Elytra entirely smooth. Not rare at Fort Yuma, Cat, under logs 



and st is. 



Length .65-.70 inch.
