however, sometimes almost obsolete. The copulatory sheath 

 seems to have a simple obtusel>' ogival i)oint. 



51. A. ]iel\'iiillK n. sp. — Kather narrow, siibparallel and dejiressed, dull, 

 pale ocbreo-flavate throughout above and beneath ; pubescence even, suberect, 

 very short, coarse, dense, the hairs strongly and posteriorly arcuate. Head 

 large, quadrate, as long as wide, truncate and unimpressed at base, the angles 

 rather broadly rounded ; eyes moderately small and convex, about three- 

 fourths as long as the tempora, the latter parallel and very feebly arcuate; 

 disk somewhat finely but strongly, very densely punctate, the narrow im- 

 punctate line obliterated toward base; antenna? about as long as the head and 

 prothorax, feebly incrassate, the tenth joint w'ider than long. Prothorax 

 rather small and very feebly convex, much narrower than the head, not quite 

 as long as wide, narrowly rounded Init not angulate near the extreme apex, 

 the sides oblique and very feebly sinuate tlience to the base, the basal margin 

 narrow and feebly defined ; punctures somewhat small but deep and extremely 

 dense, the interspaces dull and reticulate. Elytra three-fourths longer than wide, 

 fully twice as wide as the prothorax, obtusely rounded behind; sides parallel 

 and very feebly arcuate; humeri rather widely exposed at base, the scutellar 

 impression and omoplates suboljsolete ; disk depressed, very deeply and densely 

 imnctate, the punctures moderately large. Abdomen, finely and indistinctly 

 punctate, alutaceous, the legs very slender. Length 2.2 mm.; width 0.7 mm. 



California (Lake Co.). 



The single female represents a very distinct species, which may 

 be known by its depressed and subparallel form, dull lustre, ex- 

 tremely dense and not very fine punctuation, and unusually short, 

 peculiarly recurved pubescence. 



52. A. lutuleiitlis n. sp. — Moderately narrow, somewhat strongly con- 

 vex, shining, pale ochreo-fiavate throughout above and beneath; pubescence 

 moderately long, coarse, subdecumbent, even, not very dense. Head sub- 

 quadrate, as long as wide, arcuato-truncate at base, the angles rather broadly 

 rounded; eyes somewhat large and prominent, about as long as the temj)ora, 

 the latter subparallel behind them for a short distance; disk finely, somewhat 

 sparsely punctate, with a narrow but apparently entire impunctate line ; an- 

 tennae about as long as the head and prothorax, feebly incrassate, the tenth 

 joint rather wider than long. Prothorax quite distinctly narrower than the 

 head, almost as long as wide, rather nan-owly rounded at apical fourth, the 

 sides tlience oblique and nearly straight to the base, the margin just visiljly 

 dilated laterally; a])ex l)roa(lly, somewhat strongly arcuate; punctures fine 

 but deep, well sejmrated. E/i/ha two- thirds longer than wide, fully twice as 

 wide as the prothorax, not broadly, circularly rounded at apex, the sides 

 parallel and feebly arcuate; humeri not very widely exposed, rounded; scu- 

 tellar impression and omoplates obsolete; punctures small but deep and 

 close-set. Legs moderate in length, rather slender. Length 2.0-2.3 mm.; 

 width 0.65-0.75 mm.
