Goleopterological Notices, VI. 497 



A distinct species, represented in mv cal)inet by a single fe- 

 male, having the fifth ventral very broadly and feebly though 

 evenly arcuate at apex, and the genital segment broadly arcuate 

 at tip and broadly impresso-canaliculate along the middle. 



34. T. f iilvovestitlis n. sp. — Somewhat stout and strongly con\e.\, pol- 

 i.shed, l)lack, the anterior parts with a strong aeneous histre; elytra pale ful- 

 vous, sometimes Avith a very fee])le 1)lackish cloud on the suture toward l)ase; 

 abdomen black throughout, the genital segment alone paler; legs very pale; 

 antenmc rufo-testaceous, the eleventh joint dusky; oral organs and mandibles 

 rufescent; pubescence rather long and coai'se, dense, fulvous and conspicuous. 

 Head only just visibly narrower than the prothorax, constricted at ])ase, the 

 front flat, finely, sparsely punctate, the impressions very feeble, a median con- 

 vexity at apex smooth and i^olislied; epistoma with a wide pale and thin cori- 

 aceous margin; labrum small, strongly rounded; eyes small, prominent and at 

 their own length from the base; antennte slender, one-half longer than the pro- 

 thorax, the eleventh joint as long as wide. Prothorax nearly one-half wider 

 than long, the sides parallel, more rounded at the middle, feeblj' convergent 

 and nearly straight thence to the base and apex, the latter Ijroadly arcuato- 

 trirncate and as wide as the base; angles rather obtuse; disk highlj^ polished, 

 finely and sparsely punctate. Scutellum black, thinly albido-pubescent. Ely- 

 tra barely one-half longer than wide, nearly one-half wider than the prothorax, 

 parallel and straight at the sides; the apex very broadly obtuse, the sutural 

 angles right and not distinctly rounded; humeri rather widely exposed at base; 

 disk somewhat finely but strongly and closely punctate. Abdomen finely 

 punctulate, more or less thinly cinereo-pubescent, the legs slender. Length 

 2.2-2.4 mm. ; width 0.8-0.9 mm. 



Arizona (Yuma). Mr. G. W. Dunn. 



This species is very distinct in appearance because of its large 

 head, with the eyes small and distant from the prothorax. It is 

 evidently allied rather closely to propinquus, which is known at 

 present onl}- b}- the female, but dift'ers in the dense and conspicu- 

 ous pubescence of the pronotum and black abdomen. The sexual 

 characters of the male are very simple, the fifth ventral being- 

 truncate at apex, and the third and fourth segments completely 

 devoid of modified pubescence. Two males. 



85. T. exigilUK n. sp. — Oblong, somewhat stout and convex, moderatelj' 

 shining, pah- luteo-testaceous, the sterna of the hind body, abdomen, scutel- 

 lum and a large cloud toward the base of the head Idack; legs and antenna; 

 pale te.st<iceous, the latter very feebly clouded near the apex; i)ubescence 

 rather long and dense, closely decumbent, cinereous, very coarse on the elytra, 

 rather fine anteriorly. Head large, only slightly narrower than the prothorax, 

 strongly reticulate, very minutely, sparsely jmnctatc, the impres.'^ions large 

 and feeble; epistoma .short; labrum short, broadly arcuato-truncate; anteniux;
