Oblong, very stout, convex, shilling, Ijlaek ; legs and antenna? 

 rufous; pubescence cinereous, moderate in length and coarseness, 

 dense on the elytra, sparser and finer on the pronotum ; erect setae 

 of the elytra pale; pronotum with a few blackish setae toward the 

 sides anteriorly; marginal cilia very long and blackish on the 

 prothorax, equally long but paler on the elytra. Head not quite 

 one-half as wide as the prothorax, smooth, minutely and sparsely 

 punctate; antenna? moderate. Prothorax fully three-fourths 

 wider than long, the sides feebh' convergent, evenly and distinctly 

 arcuate from base to apex; all the angles obtuse and broadl3' 

 rounded; base rather strongly arcuate toward the middle; disk 

 smooth and polished throughout, minutely and sparsel}' punctate. 

 Elytra two-fifths longer than wide, scarcel}' visibly wider than the 

 prothorax, parallel, evenly and broadly rounded at apex, finel}^ 

 and somewhat closely punctate. Length 3.0-3.6 mm.; width 

 1.4-1.7 mm. 



California (San Diego Co.). The above sketch refers to the 

 female, and the male, as remarked by LeConte, is quite different 

 in form, being less stout, with the head a little more than one- 

 half as wide as the prothorax, the latter scarcely more than one- 

 half Avider than long though similar otherwise, except that the 

 pubescence is a little darker and less obvious in the median parts 

 of the disk, and that the elytra are relatively shorter, narrowed 

 feebly from the base and not at all wider than the prothorax ; in 

 the female the elytra are much more than twice as long as the 

 prothorax, while in the male they are quite as conspicuously less 

 than twice as long. The fifth ventral in the male is broadly and 

 feebly sinuate at apex but otherwise unmodified, and, in both 

 sexes, the pronotum is feebly indented in the middle near the 

 base.

 legs black with the tibi;e and tarsi rufescent; antenme dark rufo-piceous; 

 pub&scence cinereous, moderately long and coarse, dense and intermingled with 

 erect pale setit on the elytra, rather less dense on the pronotum; marginal 

 cilia of the prothorax rather short, dense and timbriform, of the elytra longer 

 and less close-set, pale throughout. Head fully three-fourths as wide as the 

 prothorax, convex, smooth and polished throughout, minutely and si)arsely 

 punctate; frontal imi)ressions rather large and feebh-: t'i)ist<>ma moderately
