California. 



The male serving as the type has the fifth ventral short and trun- 

 cate, the truncature apparently feebly sinuate toward the middle. 



69. T. irrasilS n. sp. — Elongate, siibcylindncal, conve.x, polished and 

 smootli thioughout, black, legs black, the tarsi scarcely picescent; antennae 

 black, the fuuicle dark piceo-testaceous toward base; pubescence rather long 

 and coarse, dense, subdecumbent, pale Inteo-cinereous, the upper surface 

 bristling with long erect and very conspicuous, though not dense, black set* 

 which are intermingled with some shorter and more inclined pale hairs toward 

 the sides of the elytra, the marginal hairs of the latter very long and cinere- 

 ous. Head but slightly more than one-half as wide as the jirothorax, convex, 

 finely and sparsely punctate, a little more closely so toward apex, where the 

 impressions are feeble and separated by the usual feeble impunctate convexity; 

 epistoma rather long but strongly transverse, very pale and coriaceous; 

 lal)rum long, black, paler and strongly rounded at apex; eyes large but not 

 very convex, not quite attaining the base; antenna? slightly longer than the 

 prothorax, the penultimate joints moderately transverse. I'rofliora.r three- 

 fourths wider than long, the sides convergent and very feebly arcuate from 

 base to apex, the basal angles obtuse and rather l)roadly rounded, feebly re- 

 flexed; apical less obtuse and only narrowly rounded, distinct; a])ex and base 

 evenly, equally and feebly arcuate throughout the width, the former distinctly 

 the narrower ; disk finely, sparsely punctate. Elytra three-fifths longer than 

 wide, only just visibly wider than the prothorax, parallel and straight at the 

 sides, broadly rounded at apex, finely but strongly and rather densely punc- 

 tate. Legs and abdomen densely and somewhat coarsely cinereo-pubescent. 

 Length 4.0 mm.; width 1.6 mm. 



California 



The unique representative of this species, which may be readily 

 known by the form of the prothorax, is a female, with the fifth 

 ventral evenly rounded behind. 



70. T. crinifer n. sp. — Oblong, parallel, moderately convex, black with 

 a feeble grayish-teneous lustre; legs rufo-ferruginous, the posterior femora 

 slightly obscure; antenna; piceo-testaceous; pubescence rather long, coarse and 

 dense, subdecumbent, pale luteo-cinereous, the upper surface in addition with 

 long but rather sparse erect black setic. Head fully three-fifths as wide as the 

 prothorax, smooth, finely and sparsely punctate, the impressions large and 

 feeble; epistoma rather short, truncate, thin, impunctate and slightly pale to- 

 ward ai)ex: labrum short and broad, broadly rounded; eyes moderately large 

 and slightly prominent, attaining the base; antennie somewhat long, strongly 

 serrate, the outer joints only moderately transverse. Frothorax two-thirds 

 wider than long, the sides parallel, evenly and feebly arcuate; basal angles 

 obtuse and blunt but somewhat distinct; apical angles less obtuse and but 

 slightly blunt; apex and base evenly and feebly arcuate, the latter slightly 

 the wider; disk lincly and sparsely punctate. Eli/fra three-lifths longer
