Middle coast regions of (\alifornia. This species may be 

 known at once by its narrow and subcylindrical form, color of 

 the legs and other characters as detailed above; it is an abun- 

 dant species. The description is drawn from a female example, 

 but the male does not ditler noticeably in form and has very 

 feeble abdominal characters.

Oblong-oval, strongly convex, polished, black, the upper surface 

 with a dull icneous lustre ; legs rufo-ferruginous, the femora rufo- 

 piceous ; antenna testaceous, piceous-black toward apex, the two 

 basal joints also blackish ; pubescence moderately long, coarse, 

 dense and cinereous, the cilia at the sides of the prothorax and 

 and elytra long and bristling and scarcely fimbriform. Head 

 three-fifths as wide as the prothorax, rather finel}' and sparsel}'^ 

 punctate, the epistoma and labrum dark rufo-testaceous ; ini- 

 pressioiis feeble. Prothorax almost evenly and transversely 

 elliptical, two-thirds wider than long, the sides parallel and evenly, 

 strongly arcuate; angles very obtuse and rounded ; disk strongly 

 but not very closely punctate. Elytra three-fifths longer than 

 wide, distinctly though not greatly wider than the prothorax, 

 parallel, very broadly rounded at apex. Abdomen finely, densely 

 punctulate and densely pubescent. Length 2.75 mm.; width 1.15 

 mm. 



California (San Francisco). I have scarcely any doubt that 

 this is the true antennatuH of Motschulsky, who states that it 

 resembles laticolliH Mann., but is smaller. It differs from lafi- 

 collis, however, in having long bristling pale hairs along the sides 

 of the bodj-, these being short and fimbriate in that species. 

 Some few of the hairs toward the sides of the elytra appear to be 

 semi-erect, and the species might therefore be almost as appro- 

 priately assigned to the fuscus group, some of the members of 

 which it resembles considerably. The two specimens before me 

 are females.
