49. A. inilitai'ls n. sp. — Moderately narrow, the eljtra rather de- 

 pressed, sliiniiig, hhu-k, the legs, antennic and a large humeral spot on each 

 elytron rufo-testaceous; pubescence somewhat coarse, cinereous, moderately 

 short and sparse. Jhad rather large, (juadrate, as long as ^vide, truncate at 

 base, the angles rounded; eyes small but prominent, the tempora long and 

 parallel behind them; ])unctures somewhat small but strong, close-set, the 

 median impuuctate line uneven, obliterated toward base; antennic moderate 

 in length, rather distinctly inci-assate, the tenth joint wider than long. Pro- 

 thorax very much narrower than the head, somewhat longer than wide, convex, 

 narrowly rounded but not at all angiilate at apical fourth, the sides thence 

 oblique and subsinuate to the basal margin; punctures fine but strong, mod- 

 erately dense. Elytra barely two-thirds longer than wide, twice as Avidc as the 

 prothorax, obtusely sul)truncate at apex, the sides parallel and feebly arcuate; 

 humeri widely and transversely exposed at base; scutellar impression and 

 omoplates subobsolete; punctures rather small but deep and somewhat dense, 

 very minute toward apex. Abdovicn finely, sparsely punctate, the legs slen-

The single specimen appears to be a female. This species is 

 quite isolated and cannot be compared with an}' other known to

 dense. Head convex, quadrate, the eyes small. Prothorax small, 

 distinctly narrower than the head, not as long as wide, rounded 

 anteriorly, the sides thence oblique and broadly sinuate to the 

 basal margin ; punctures ver}' tine and dense. Elytra two-thirds 

 longer than wide, distinctl}' more than twice as wide as the pro- 

 thorax, obtusel}' subtruncate at apex ; humeri widely exposed at

California (Lake Co. and San Diego), Nevada (Reno), Ari- 

 zona (Riverside) and Texas (San Antonio). A very widely dis- 

 tributed species, easily known by its small size, very short and 

 even pubescence, and sharply defined fascia of black, which is.
