Narrow, polished, black, slight!}^ feneous in lustre, the legs 

 bright rufous throughout ; antenn{>? testaceous, the first and outer 

 joints darker; pubescence moderately long and dense and some- 

 what coarse, quasi-denuded in a wide median band which be- 

 comes broader and rhombiform toward the suture, in an irregularly 

 zigzag fascia at apical fourth, and, on each elytron, in a small apical 

 and two subscutellar spots. Head four-fifths as wide as the 

 prothorax, the e^'es rather prominent, the punctures fine and 

 sparse ; impressions distinct ; antennae almost as long as the head 

 and prothorax, the tenth joint nearly one-half longer than wide. 

 Prothorax scarcely more than one-third wider than long, dilated 

 toward base, finely and sparseh' punctate, the punctures A'ery 

 deep and perforate, rugose in lateral fifth or sixth ; interspaces 

 perfectl}^ smooth. Elj-tra parallel and straight at the sides, 

 three-fourths longer than wide, onl^' very slightlj^ wider than the 

 prothorax, moderately coarsely and closely punctate. Length 

 2.0-2.5 mm.; width 0.75-0.9 mm 



California (Los Angeles and Napa Cos.). A common and very 

 readily recognized species in the coast regions of middle and 

 southern California. The above outline is from the male, the 

 sexual characters being as in difficilis: the female is slightly 

 stouter, with a rather smaller head, slightl}' more transverse 

 prothorax, and with the elytra feebly dilated posteriori}- ; there 

 seems to be only slight sexual divergence in the antenna?, but 

 some individuals have the basal joint also pale.
