410 Goleopterological Xotice.^, VI. 



rather closely punctate and subriigose, coarsely reto-scabrous near 

 the sides. Elytra parallel, two-thirds longer than wide, only 

 slightly wider the prothorax and nearly three times as long, side 

 margins narrowly reflexed ; punctures somewhat fine and close- 

 set, scabriculate. Abdomen minutely, densely asperulo-punctate, 

 the legs rather long. Length 3.8 mm.; width 1.5 mm. 



Oregon. The male from which the description is taken has the 

 fifth ventral unmodified on the disk, short and broadly truncate 

 at apex ; the genital segment is flat, emarginate, with about three 

 long erect black setiie at each side, and the under surface of the 

 tip of the dorsal p3'gidium is distinct beyond it. The epipleurse 

 are wider than in most species of the genus, but are gradually 

 narrowed behind. 



4. T. agrestis n. sp. — Elongate and convex, moderately shining, black 

 thionghout: legs and antennse dark rufo-piceons, the first and eleventh joints 

 of the latter black ; pubescence very short, fine and closely decumbent, brown- 

 ish-black in color and inconspicuous, the marginal fringe short, even and dark 

 in color. Head three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, feebly constricted at 

 base, sparsely punctate, the punctures fine, coarser and with scabrous sculpture 

 toward base; frontal impressions large and feeble; eyes large, slightly promi- 

 nent and dist«int from the base; epistoma thin and truncate; labrum short, 

 very broad, feebly arcuate at apex, punctate at base, with several long black 

 setje near the sides; antennte one-fourth longer that the prothorax, rather 

 slender, the fifth joint distinctly dilated, tenth slightly transverse. Prothorax 

 fully two-thirds wider than long, the sides parallel and feebly, almost evenly 

 arcuate throughout; base obliijue and sinuate at the sides, the basal angles 

 slightly obtuse but not rounded; apex transversely truncate, very feebly, an- 

 teriorly oblique for only a short distance at the sides, the angles slightly ob- 

 tuse and blunt; disk finely, sparsely punctate, only slightly scabrous near the 

 sides, the intersi)aces smooth. Elytra long, f{mr-fifths longer than wide, one- 

 fourth wider tlian the i)rotliora.x and more than three times as long, the sides 

 parallel and nearly straight; apex evenly and almost semi-circularly rounded; 

 humeri strongly tumid; punctures not very coarse but deep, even and well 

 defined, rather close-set. Abdomen minutely, densely, subasperately punctu- 

 late, with very fine and short but cinereous pubescence, the legs somewhat 

 short, densely ])unctulate. Length 4.7 mm. ; width l.<)5 mm. 



California. 



One of the largest and most isolated species of the genus, rep- 

 resented before me by a single female from an unknown part of 

 the State. The epipleurre are very narrow and are defined exter- 

 nall}' by the finely serrulate edge which is general throughout 

 the genus.
