der, slightly incrassate through the last four joints, the tenth moderately trans- 

 verse, lifth scarcely visibly dilated. Profhiira.r three-fourths wider than long, 

 the sides subparallel, strongly and almost evenly arcuate, the apex rectiline- 

 arly truncate and but little narrower than the base; angles obtuse; disk finely, 

 .sj)arsely punctate, coarsely reto-rugose toward the sides; punctures not im- 

 pressed, the interspaces smooth. Elytra one-half longer than wide, only just 

 visibly wider than the prothorax, parallel, obtusely rounded at apex, sparsely 

 and coarsely punctate, the interspaces polished; subscutellar umbones rather 

 marked. Abdomen minutely, densely punctulate, very finely dusky-pubescent. 

 Length 8.0 mm. ; width 1.2 mm. 



California (San Diego). Mr. Dunn. 



This species can be readily distinguished from the last bj- its 

 larger size and unimpressed pronotal punctures. It is repre- 

 sented in my cabinet b}^ two female specimens which are mutually 

 similar in size and A^estiture. 



40. T. flliiel>i*is n. sp. — oblong-oval, strongl,y convex, moderately stout, 

 shining, black, without metallic lustre; legs black, the tibi:c and tarsi rufo- 

 I)icescent; antenn;e dark rufo-piceous, gradually blackish toward apex, the 

 basal joint darker; pubescence moderately dense, fine, reclined, blackish in 

 color, gradually coarser and cinereous toward the sides of the pronotum and 

 on the elytra along the suture and toward the sides especially toward base, the 

 whitish hairs extending somewhat inward at basal two-fifths; marginal cilia 

 forming a short dense and coarse fringe on both the prothorax and elytra. 

 Head three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, strongly and rather closely punc- 

 tate, the impressions feeble; epistoma somewhat narrowly trapezoidal, rapidly 

 thinned toward apex, the labrum strongly rounded and moderately elongate; 

 eyes not very large or prominent, extending almost to the base; antenna; long 

 and slender, much longer than the prothorax, the penultimate joints rather 

 longer than wide, fifth scarcely dilated. Prothorax two-thirds wider than 

 long, the sides arcuate, more strongly so behind, more convergent anteriorly, 

 the apex perceptibly narrower than the base; angles obtuse; disk strongly and 

 rather closely punctate, strongly reto-rugose toward the sides; interspaces 

 nearly smooth in the middle. Elytra nearly two-thirds longer than wide, 

 quite distinctly wider than the prothorax, i)arallel,the apex evenly, but 

 rather broadly parabolic; punctures moderately sparse and rather coarse, the 

 interspaces very obsoletely and unevenly rugiilose, but strongly shining. Ab- 

 domen and legs densely clothed with short coarse and pale fulvo-cineroous 

 hairs. Length 3.0-3.2 mm.; width 1.2-1.3 mm. 



Colorado (Rocky Mountains). 



The type is a female but with rather distinct sexual characters, 

 the fifth ventral being strongly rounded at apex and clothed with 

 pubescence which is black and not pale as it is on the four pre- 

 ceding segments. Two specimens.
