390 REVISION OF TlIK TENKHKloNID.K OF AMERICA, 



R. flabellicoi nis, Sturm, Xyletinus Cat. 1820, p. 59,*pl. 1. fig. 7. 



I have before rae ten spi cimens ol" this insect, and find them all agreeing with the 

 characters of the genus as defined by Dr. Leconte, and showing no differences among them- 

 selves in the formation of their antennae. The species is similar in sculpture to the 

 FJedona before described. The antennae and legs arc pale reddish brown. 



Length .10 inch. 



.Middle and Western States and Canada West (Pettit). 



Ma\ net this genus be allied to the Eutomides, latch referred to this familj '. 



TRIBE XXIX — APOCRYPHINI. 



Bodj -lender, apterous; head not constricted behind ; labrum prominent, clypeal mem- 

 brane distinctly visible; eyes small, emarginate, coarsely granulated; mentum small; last 

 joinl of maxillary palpi strongl) securiform; antennae eleven-jointed, -lender, scarcely 

 thicker externally ; prothorax globose, marginal ridge rounded or wanting; trunk pedun- 

 culated; elytra embracing widely the flanks of abdomen; epipleurae narrow; middle coxae 

 without trochantin ; hind coxa' small, widely separated ; legs long, femora clavate; tibiae 

 -lender, spurs small ; tarsi pubescent with long hairs ; hind margins of third and fourth 

 ventral segments coriaceous. 



The last character alone serves to remove this tribe from the association in which it 

 was placed by Dr. Leconte, to the place assigned it by Lacordaire, preferring, however, 

 to retain it as a distinct tribe. 



APOCRYPHA, Esch. 

 Apocrypha, Esch., Zool. Ail. IV. p. 18. 



Our species, three in number, all small, are found in California, under chips, etc. 

 in very dry places; they are very agile and difficult to capture.
