Arizona. The above description refers to tlie male, in which, 

 in addition, the fifth ventral is truncate at apex and paler in color. 

 This is a \e\-y distinct SDecies both in coloration and structure. 



27. T. iiiiioceiiK n. sp. — Narrow, subparallel, convex, polished, black, the 

 elytra with a feeble gTeeiiish-a>neous lustre; legs nifo-piceous, the tibiae and 

 tarsi quite pale; antennip dee]) l)lack, with joints three to five slightly paler; 

 pubescence short, rather coarse and sparse, palefulvous; elytra Avith theextreme 

 apex rufo-ferniginous. Head four-fifths as wide as the prothorax, finely, 

 sparsely punctate, fee1)ly rugulose except in the middle anteriorly, the im- 

 pressions rather strong and better defined by the somewhat jirominent supra- 

 antennal ridges; e])istomal margin polished and depressed but black ; labrum 

 only slightly pale at the extreme apex, broadly rounded, with a few setiferous 

 punctures along the basal margin; eyes slightly prominent; antennsc rather 

 stout, hispid throughout with erect cinereous seta?, nearly one-half longer than 

 the prothorax, fifth joint distinctly dilated, the tenth slightly wider than long, 

 and somewhat asymmetric. Proiliorax one-half wider than long, widest a little 

 behind the middle, where the upper flanks are slightly tumid; sides ])arallel 

 and broadly arcuate, becoming gradually convergent and nearly straight in 

 about ai)ieal half; apex arcuato-truncate, about as wide as the Ijase; disk 

 finely, sparsely punctate, verj' obsoletely rugulose but polished, coarsely reto- 

 r\igose at the sides. Elytra oblong, two-thirds longer than wide, distinctly 

 Avider than the prothorax, slightly dehiscent at apex as tisual, parallel, broadly 

 rounded behind, somewhat finely and sparsely but distinctly jiunctate. Ahdo- 

 men smooth and polished, very minutely and sparsely punctulate, thinly and 

 finely pubescent, the legs rather slender. Length 2.25-2.7 mm; width 0.8- 

 0.95 mm. 



California (Calaveras Co.) Dr. F. E. Blaisdell. 



A small but distinct species, the male described above having 

 the fifth ventral broadly and just visibh' sinuato-truncate at tip 

 but otherwise unmodified. It ma^' be known at once by its 

 sparse fulvous vestiture and coloration. 



Two of the three specimens before me, represented by the 

 larger measurements, are blacker and duller, with the vestiture 

 more cinereous, but I have but little doubt that they belong to 

 the same species. 



28. T. apicalis n. sp. — Stout, oblong-oval, convex, feebly .shining, l)laek, 

 the elytra pale testaceous at apex, the pale area extending slightlj' along the 

 .suture and narrowly along the side margins nearly to the middle; legs rufo- 

 ferruginous throughout; antennie dark piceo-rufous, the two basal joints 

 slightly darker; pubescence short, coarse, closely decumbent and dense, iiale 

 luteo-cinereous in color. JI(tiil small, not nmch more than one-half as wide 

 as the prothorax, finely, sparsely punctate, with smooth interspaces through- 

 out: anterior inipressione extremely feeble, the supra-antennal ridges wholly"
