Ciite; disk niiiuitely and remotely punctate, the interspaces smooth and pol- 

 ished tliroughoiit, not at all rugose at the sides, the surface broadly reflexed 

 toward the basal angles. Elytra one-half longer than wide, only slightly wider 

 than the prothorax, parallel and straight at the sides, very broadly and ob- 

 tusely rounded at apex; punctures tine and rather close-set, the interspaces 

 relatively wide and polished. Aidomen densely punctulate and densely and 

 somewhat coarsely cinereo-pubesceut, the legs moderate in length and rather 

 slender. Length 3. f^ mm. ; width 1.45 mm. 



California (southern). 



The type is a female, having the fifth ventral broadly subangu- 

 late at tip, the edge however almost concealed b}' the dense and 

 porrect cinereous pubescence. 



43. T. Clispidatu!^ n. sp. — Oblong, strongly convex, moderately shining, 

 black, the legs red throughout; antennaj dusky, the third, fourth and fifth 

 joints more or less testaceous; pubescence cinereous, short and very dense 

 throughout, intermingled on the elytra with erect cinereous setse Avhich are 

 moderate in length, uneven and rather close-set; marginal cilia short, dense on 

 the prothorax, much longer on the elytra, timbriform and ashy. J{md three- 

 fourths as wide as the prothorax, finely, sparsely punctate, the inrpressions 

 large and distinct; epistoma narrow and unusually long; labruni cordiform, 

 but slightly wider than long, narrowly parabolic at apex; eyes large, extend- 

 ing to the base but only moderately prominent; antennae stout, bristling with 

 short dense and erect setse, about as long as the prothorax, the outer seven 

 joints wider and distinctly asymmetric, penultimate joints transverse. Pro- 

 thorax long, about one-third wider than long, the sides just visibly convergent- 

 evenly and feel)ly but distinctly ai'cuate from base to apex, the latter truncate- 

 only slightly narrower than tlie base, the apical angles anteriorly and feebly 

 prominent and small, the basjil broadly rounded and obsolete; disk minutely, 

 not densely punctate, the interspaces polished, not rugose laterally. Elytra 

 two-fifths longer than wide, only slightly wider than the jn-othorax, parallel 

 and straight at the sides, very broadly and oljtusely rounded at apex, the i>unc- 

 tures fine and close-set. L('g>i and abdomen cinereo-pubescent. Length 3.3 

 mm. ; width 1.4 mm. 



California (southern). 



This species is founded upon a single male, apparently from the 

 same source as the preceding female, but the differences are so 

 radical in the structure of the epistoma and basal angles of the 

 prothorax that it seems impossible to consider the two forms as 

 a single species. In this male the fifth ventral is verN' short, and 

 is broadl}' sinuato-truncate at apex. 



44. T. indtltiiN n. sp. — ]-^longate-oval, strongly convex, black, the legs 

 red with the tarsi somewhat dusky; antennie black, joints two to four more
