piceous; antenniu black, the funicle sli<!;htly paler toward l)ase; pubescence 

 rather short and sjjarse, moderately coarse, forming a broad even cinereous 

 fascia at basal and apical third, and a narrower fascia enveloping the apex; 

 intermediate dark fasciic clothed with liner blackish hairs; anterior pale baud 

 prolonged narrowly along the suture to the scutellnm. Head two-thirds as 

 wide as the jirotborax, finely, sjiarsely and unevenly punctate, rugose only to- 

 ward the eyes and base; impressions distinct, short and widely separated; 

 apical margins of the epistoma and labrum somewhat pale and subcoriaceous ; 

 eyes rather large and subprominent; antenuiB very slender, the basal joint 

 stout as usual; two-fifths longer than the prothorax, scarcely visibly incrassate, 

 the tenth joint barely as long as wide, eleventh elongate-oval, ])ointed and 

 nearly as long as the two preceding. Prothorax short and strongly transverse, 

 fullj' two-thirds wider than long, widest and rather broadly rounded toward 

 base, the sides strongly convergent and almost straight in apiciil half; serrula- 

 tion rather coarse and strong; apical angles obtuse, the apex truncate; disk 

 finely and sparsely perforato-punctate, the interspaces wide, flat, polished and 

 sculptureless, coarsely scabrorrs only in lateral fifth or sixth. Elytra oblong, 

 scarcely three-fifths longer than wide, distinctly wider than the prothorax, 

 feebly dilated behind basal third, Avith the sides feebly arcuate, broadly 

 ogival at apex, not Aery coarsely lint strongly and (^uite sparsely punctate. 

 Length 2.4 mm. ; width O-O.^i mm. 



California (Truckee) ; Utah ( Provo). 



The type from the Sierras seems to be a female, and the Pi'ovo 

 specimen is qnite similar. This is one of the more distinct and 

 isolated species of the genus, and may be readily known by the 

 evenly banded arrangement of the vestiture. 



25. L,. I'UlU'ipes n. sp. — Stout, oldong-oval, convex, polished, black Avith 

 an aeneous lustre; legs throughout bright rufoirs; antenna; piceous-black, the 

 funicle distinctly paler toward base; pubescence short and sparse, not very 

 coarse, the pale ashy hairs arranged in three trans\erse fasci;c on the elytra, 

 the first extending from the base to rather beyond basal third and enclosing 

 two subscutellar dark spots, the second narrow and near apical third, and the 

 third enveloping the apices; dark bands and spots clothed as usual with finer 

 dark hairs. Head nearly three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, finely, 

 sparsely punctate, only feebly rugulose, the eyes moderately prominent but 

 well developed; labrunr slightly pale at apex, the epistoma black; frontal im- 

 pressions distinct and widely separated; antenn;c moderately stcnit and incras- 

 sate, with some sparse erect setie toward tip, distinctly longer than the pro- 

 thorax, the tenth joint l)arely as long as wide. Prothora.r transverse, fully 

 one-half wider than long, broadl}- rounded and parallel at the sides, narrowed 

 and with the sides straight toward apex, Avidest near basal tAvo-fifths; disk 

 rather si)arsely punctate, the interspaces fiat and smooth, rugose in lateral 

 fifth; punctures only moderately deep. Elytra oblong, two-thirds longer 

 than Avide, one-third Avider than the ])rothorax, slightly wider at apical t\AO- 

 fifths than at base, the sides feebly arcuate; apex broadly and obtusely rounded;
