  One 
  example 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  National 
  

   Museum 
  by 
  Mr. 
  E. 
  A. 
  Schwarz. 
  

  

  This 
  sj)ecies 
  has 
  the 
  form 
  and 
  appearance 
  of 
  a 
  Graphops, 
  but 
  has 
  no 
  

   trace 
  of 
  supraorbital 
  groove 
  and 
  the 
  postocular 
  lobes 
  are 
  well 
  developed. 
  

   The 
  prosternum 
  is 
  broad 
  and 
  flat, 
  as 
  iu 
  the 
  three 
  Californian 
  species, 
  

   placed 
  by 
  Doctor 
  Horn 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  Colaspklea. 
  It 
  comes 
  nearest 
  to 
  

   C. 
  ciiprascens, 
  but 
  is 
  readily 
  separated 
  by 
  its 
  much 
  longer 
  pubescence 
  

   and 
  the 
  smooth 
  discal 
  lines 
  of 
  elytra.
