18 JOUENALi OF ENTOMOLOGY AND ZOOLOGY 



ate at apex. In ahnormis the apex of this lobe is as a rule broadly 

 but noticeably arcuately produced at middle and slightly sinuate 

 each side. The female shows no trace of the pruinose lustre so 

 characteristic of typical nbnonnis. 



Described from a single pair (55) taken in June in the San 

 Jacinto Mts. in Southern California by J. C. Bridwell and sub- 

 mitted by Dr. Van Dyke. 



Pedilus longilohiis n. sp. 



Length 1-1 .^ mm. Type — Black, basal two joints of antennae, 

 and prothorax, rufous, the latter with posterior discal darker 

 cloud. Varies to entirely black or with the elytra yellow, with 

 suture, side margin posteriorly and tip, blackish; tibiae yellowish 

 toward the base. 



Antenna rather strongly serrate, scarcely longer than half the 

 body in the male. 



Head finely sparsely punctate, tempora short, parallel, the hind 

 angles and sides beneath coarsely rugosely punctate. 



Prothorax finely sparsely punctate, sides as a rule less strongly 

 arcuate than usual. 



Elytra densely, not coarsely punctate. 



Male : Extreme tips of elytra flatly impressed; front and middle 

 tarsi moderately dilated; claws with a long lobiform tooth, truncate 

 at tip; side pieces of oedeagus straight, gradually acuminate, feebly 

 incurved at tip and with a broad, rounded angulation on the inner 

 side at some distance from the apex. 



Female: Apex of elytra unmodified, tarsi not dilated, claws 

 with a shorter, more triangular tooth. 



Ten examples (9 5 's, 1 5 ) are known to me. The type was col- 

 lected by Mr. Nunenmacher in Plumas Co., California, June 13. 

 It has been taken by Dr. Fenyes at Tahoe City in June and by Dr. 

 Van Dyke at Nash Mine, 5000 feet, and Carrville, Trinity Co., 

 June 14-16. Two examples from Humptulips, Wash., have been 

 sent me by Dr. Van Dyke. 



In appearance and characters longilohiis is closely allied to ser- 

 ratus, the pale form mentioned above being superficially distinguish- 

 able from serratus only by the shorter and less strongly serrate an-
