 apical edge paler. Length 1. 8-2.0 mm.; width 1.1-1.3 mm. Utah (south-

 testaceous ; prothorax two and two-fifths times as wide as long, the sides very 

 discontinuous with those of the elytra, only feebly convergent, arcuate at apex, 

 becoming straight posteriorly, the disk finely but strongly punctate, the punctures
