7:2. T. fulvesceiis n. sp. — Subcylindrical, moderately convex, polislied, 

 black, tlie elytra, metasteriuiiu and abdominal vertex more or less rufo- 

 piceous; legs pale piceo-testaceous, the tibia; and tarsi darker; antenna; black; 

 pubescence ratlier long and dense, very coarse, decnmbent and bright fiilvons, 

 intermixed with nnmerons long and bristling setie, Avhicli are blackish in color 

 but ])ecoming in great part pale toward the sides of the elytra. Head nearly 

 three-fourths as Avide as the prothorax, convex, smooth, finely and sparsely 

 IHinctate, the eyes large but not very convex; antennre a little longer than the 

 prothorax, rapidly and strongly- incrassate toward apex and clothed densely 

 with short erect and cinereous sette, the penultimate Joints strongly trans- 

 verse. Pro/7ior«,r two-thirds wider than long; the sides moderately conver- 

 gent and almost evenly and distinctly arcuate from base to apex; basal angles 

 obtuse and somewhat broadly rounded, feebly reflexed, the apical greatly de- 

 flexed but almost right and scarcely at all blunt; apex and base almost recti- 

 linearly truncate, the former decidedly the narrower; di.sk flnely, sparsely 

 punctate, not at all rugose at the sides. Eli/ira barely three-fifths longer than 

 wide, not noticeably wider than the prothorax, subparallel and straight at the 

 sides, the apex evenly rounded; disk rather finely but .strongly and closely 

 punctate. Lec/s and abdomen moderately densely cinereo-pul)escent. Length 

 3.0 mm. ; width 1.15 mm. 



California (San Diego). Mi'. Dunn. 



A well marked si)ecies, distinguishaljle at once by the coarse 

 and dense fulvous vestiture, incrassate antennae, coloration and 

 other characters ; the single male before me has the fifth A'entral 

 bi'oadly sinuato-truncate at apex.

 conspicuous. Prothorax transverse and almost evenly elliptical, 

 strongly convex, almost one-half wider than long, very coarsely 

 deepl}^ and remotely punctate, the interspaces polished ; disk bi- 

 impressed at each side on the declivity behind the middle, the 

 two impressions subconfluent. Elytra scarcely at all wider than 

 the prothorax and more than three times as long, twice as long 

 as wide, coarsely and more closeU' but not densely punctate. 

 Antennae as long as the prothorax. Length 4.0 mm.; width 1.4
