I took a single pair at the locality indicated ten 3'ears ago, and 

 place with these examples a specimen subsequently received from 

 Los Angeles Co., which agrees apparently in every particular, 

 but which is in rather bad condition. The male characters 

 are very simple, the fifth ventral being unmodified, the genital 

 segment trapezoidal, feebly convex and polished, with the apex 

 feeblv arcuato-truncate and fringed with rather long, stiflT and 

 porrect cilia. 



Obliquus differs from both nanus and peninsularis in its larger 

 size, finer, denser punctures of the pronotum, and, especially, in 

 its much longer, wider and less convex elytra, with the humeri 

 more broadly- and transversely exposed at base. 



45. A. iiiiioceiis n. sp. — Narrow, moderately convex, shining, pale flavo- 

 ferniginous tbroughout, except the abdomen, which is blackish; pubescence 

 rather coarse and close, but short, longer but very sparse, somewhat fine and 

 inconspicuous on the head. Head subquadrate, a little wider than long, 

 broadly, feebly arcuato-truncate at base, the angles distinctly rounded; eyes 

 rather large and convex, decidedly longer and more prominent than the tem- 

 pora, which are straight and parallel behind them for a short distance; punc- 

 tures coarse, sparse and rugose, the surface polished thronghout; antennaj 

 nearl}' as long as the head and prothorax, feebly and gradually thickened, the 

 tenth joint but slightly wider than long. Prothorax rather small, distinctly 

 narrower than the head, not quite as long as wide, trapezoidal, narrowly 

 rounded near the apex, the sides thence oblique and straight to the base; 

 apex broadly arcuate; disk somewhat finely but strongly, closely punctate. 

 Elytra two-thirds longer than wide, twice as wide as the prothorax, not very 

 broadly rounded behind, the sides parallel, broadly, feebly, almost evenly 

 arcuate; humeri rather widely and transversely exposed at base, rounded ex- 

 ternally; scutellar impression and omoplates obsolete; punctures fine but 

 strong and somewhat close-set; disk with a narrow and deep imjiression along 

 each side of the suture posteriorly, not attaining the apex. Abdomen minutely, 

 not densely punctate, the legs moderate in length, very slender. Length 1.85 

 mm.; width 0.65 mm. 



Arizona (Peach Springs). Mr. Wickham. 



A very small and delicate species, resembling nanus, but differ- 

 ing in its larger e3'es and relatively larger head. 



46. A. inscitus n. sp. — Moderately narrow, convex, shining, l)lack 

 throughout, the prothorax slightly rufescent; legs and antenna? dark rufo- 

 testaceous ; pubescence cinereous, moderately long and dense, subdecumbent and 

 distinct. JTead subquadrate, slightly' wider than long, rather convex, trans- 

 versely truncate and feebly, medially impressed at base; eyes somewhat large 

 and convex, slightly longer than the tempora, the latter perceptibly swollen 

 posteriorly and (juite as prominent as the eyes; disk polished, coarsely, rather
