 eat h puncture bearing a short hair. 



Occurs in California from San Francisco to the head of Sacramento Valley.

I change the name given it 1>\ Leconte, Solier having used the name many years be- 

 fore. Closely allied to consobrina. The sides of the thorax are regularly rounded to the 

 basal angles, and the angles scarceh evident. The elytral sculpture consists of irregularly 

 but closely placed granules. 



Found in Colorado. 



Length .60 inch. 



E. consobrina, Lee, Ann. Lye. 5, p. 135; veieyi, Lee, Proc. Acad. 1858, p. 187. 



This species begins a series with the thorax more strongly constricted at base- in this 

 and the two following, however, the lateral line still extends to the base. The elytral 

 sculpture consists of muricate punctures rather irregularly placed on the disc, becoming 

 tubercles on the sides. 



Abundant at Tort Tejon, California. 



Length .60-.74 inch. 



E. tenebrosa, black, opaque. Head rather coarsely punctured; thorax one-third broader than long, very 



coarsely punctured, bei ing granular ;it the sides; sides strongly rounded, margin entire, basal angles moderately 



prominent, rectangular: elytra elongate oval, moderately convex, sides moderately rounded, basal angles obtuse, sur- 

 face rather densely and irregularly covered with small, rounded, shining tubercles, arising from a very opaque 

 Under surface and legs coarsely and densely punctured. 



from Owens' Valley, California, (collected by myself), and from western Nevada (by 



Mr. Gabb). 



I <ength .54k— .65 J inch. 



The elytra are scarcely broader at their broadest part than the thorax, and much less 

 rounded on the sides than any species of this section of the sub-genus. 



E. planipennis, Lee, New Species, p. 116. 



The elytra of this species are quite flat on the disc, and the margin less ohtuse than 

 the other species. The thorax is also more deeph emarginate in front, and the anterior 

 femora rather more strongly sinuate. The elytra are also more finely and less densely 

 muricately punctured. 



From eastern New Mexico. 

 Length .64 inch.
