134 AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 



C. rufipennis n. sp. 



Black, elytra red, propleura? piceous at middle, paler in front and 

 behind ; femora piceous, tibiae and tarsi paler. Antenna? passing the 

 hind angles of the thorax by about two joints, moderately serrate 

 basally, second joint just visibly longer than wide, and about one-half 

 the length of the third, the third not quite twice as long as wide, sub- 

 equal to the fourth, the latter about one-third longer than wide, tenth 

 twice as long as wide. Head vaguely concave, not very densely punc- 

 tate. Prothorax evidently longer than wide, sides broadly arcuate and 

 moderately convergent in front, a little sinuate before the hind angles, 

 which are moderately divergent ; punctuation coarse and dense later- 

 ally, finer and less close medially, where the punctures are separated 

 by about their own diameters ; disk broadly impressed at sides near 

 the middle, hind angles carinate. Elytra parallel in basal three-fifths, 

 striae moderate, finely punctate, intervals nearly flat toward the suture, 

 feebly convex laterally, finely not very numerously punctate. Beneath 

 finely densely punctate, the prosternum more coarsely so. Length, 

 11 mm. ; width, 3.2 mm. 



Kaweah, California, June 5th, 7400 feet. One specimen, 

 probably a male, received from Mr. Ralph Hopping. This 

 species resembles and is perhaps nearest spinosus ; it is, 

 however, a little narrower, the thorax more coarsely punc- 

 tate, the antennae stouter and the elytra of a brighter tint. 



C. Uitescens n. sp. 



Testaceous, prothorax brownish, head darker; beneath brownish, 

 the abdominal apex more or less paler; pubescence fine and short, 

 pale. Antenna? piceous or brown, the basal joint pale, in the male 

 passing the hind angles of the prothorax by about two joints ; joints 

 2-3-4 gradually longer (c?), the fourth barely twice as long as wide 

 and distinctly shorter than the second and third together. Head mod- 

 erately coarsely closely punctate. Prothorax, exclusive of the hind 

 angles, nearly square, sides subparallel, narrowed a little in front, hind 

 angles prolonged, acute, and rather strongly divergent ; disk finely not 

 very closely punctate, median line not impressed, hind angles with a 

 fine short carina. Elytra about two and two-thirds times as long as 

 wide, sides nearly parallel, stria? fine, very finely punctate, intervals 

 rather closely confusedly punctate. Beneath finely rather sparsely 

 punctate, the propleura? more densely so. Length (c? 1 ), 9.2 mm.; 

 width, 2.5 mm. ; ( 9 ) length, 10.2 mm. ; width, 3.6 mm. 



The male type above described was taken at Bannf, 

 Alberta, by Dr. Fenyes. I have associated with it with con- 

 fidence several females from Emerald Lake, B. C, also col- 

 lected by Fenyes. The females are notably stouter, the pro-
