[LeConte. 



broadly sinuate behind the postapical angle, widest at the middle, and 

 the hind angles are prolonged. 



3. Magdalis hispoides, n. sp. 



Elongate, cuneiform, deep black, somewhat shining, beak as long as the 

 prothorax, slightly curved, strongly, but not densely punctured ; head 

 similarly punctured, eyes large, slightly convex. Antennae inserted above 

 the middle of the beak. Prothorax a little longer than wide, narrowed 

 from the base forward, sides nearly straight, not toothed, slightly con- 

 stricted near the tip ; hind aagles not produced ; disc densely, moderately, 

 coarsely punctured. Elytra with striae not impressed, but composed of 

 approximate quadrate punctures ; interspaces as wide as the striae, each 

 with a row of well marked approximate punctures, thighs not toothed, 

 claws simple. Length 3. 5 mm. ; . 14 inch. 



British Columbia, one specimen, Mr. Crotch. Resembles a small narrow 

 Microrhop<(l(i in appearance. 



4. Magdalis gentilis, n. sp. 



Elongate, black, with a bluish tinge on the elytra, beak as long as the 

 prothorax, curved, finely punctured. Head opaque, sparsely punctulate, 

 antennne inserted about the middle of the beak. Prothorax a little longer 

 than wide, sides parallel from the base for nearly one half the length, then 

 rounded to the tip, which is tubularly constricted ; hind angles not pro- 

 duced ; disc densely, but not coarsely punctured. Elytra with striae com- 

 posed of approximate punctures, interspaces feebly convex, wider than the 

 striiB, subopaque, finely reticulate, and marked with small rugose punc- 

 tures. Tliighs armed with a large acute tooth, claws not toothed. Length 

 4 mm. ; .16 inch. 



California, two specimens found at Lake Tahoe, by Mr. Crotch. Resem- 

 bles in appearance M. stibtinctus and gracilis, but ditfers by the form of the 

 prothorax, and the simple claws. 



p. 233. After Notoloynus bicolor add. 



1-3. Notolomus myricse, n. sp. 



Of the same size, form and color as the large form of JV. bicolor, but the 

 beak is more strongly and densely punctured. The prothorax is very finely, 

 almost imperceptibly pubescent, more coarsely punctured, with the sides and 

 two small apical spots testaceous : the lateral cusp is prominent as in N. bi- 

 color. Elytra with striae composed of larger punctures ; the dark markings are 

 very distinct, and quite different in pattern : there is a cloudy and ill-de- 

 fined spot behind the scutellum : then an oblique band formed by elongate 

 spots on the 2d, 4th, 6th and 8th interspaces ; then a large apical blotch, 

 occupying one-half the surface, with an oblique anterior outline, parallel 

 with the oblique band ; the pale color extends into this blotch along the 4th 

 interspace for some distance ; this dark blotch includes some small spots of 

 lighter brown, and is also paler at the sides, along which it extends. An- 

 tennae with the 3d joint of the'funicle longer than the 3d. Length 2.1 

 mm. ; .08 inch. 



New Smyrna, Florida : one J* kindly sent me by Mr. E. A. Schwarz, 

 who informs me that it is found on a species of myrtle, and is very rare.
