COLEOPTERA OF BAJA CALIFORNIA. 377 



Phyllecthrus gentilis Lee. Nothing- remains to be 

 added to this species. My remarks concerning atriven- 

 tris Say., under this heading, should be obliterated. 



Phyllecthrus schwarzi n. sp. 



Form of dorsalis, which it closely resembles. Black, 

 shining. Head and thorax yellow, the latter broader 

 than long, piceous at the sides. Elytra black, with a 

 narrow yellow border at posterior half of the suture, 

 surface sparsely obsoletely punctate. Legs black, knees 

 yellow. Length .20 inch.; 5 mm. 



Male. Antennas but little longer than half the body, 

 eleven-jointed, black, slightly compressed, and broader 

 toward the tip; joints 2-3 small, equal, together shorter 

 than the fourth. Middle tibiee deeply notched on the 

 inner side near the apex. First joint of anterior tarsus 

 shorter than second. Second ventral segment with an 

 obtusely conical process at middle near the posterior edge ; 

 third ventral transverely excavated along the posterior 

 edge each side of middle. 



This is the male described by me as that of dorsalis. 

 The discovery of the true male of that species enables 

 me to correct my mistake, and as a slight evidence of my 

 appreciation of his watchfulness the species is dedicated 

 to E. A. Schwarz. 



The emargination of the middle tibiae in this species 

 and dorsalis is similar to that seen in the front tibiae of 

 Carabidae. The same character is well marked also in 

 subsulcatits and parallelas, but faint in gentilis. 



One specimen. Texas. 



Phyllobrotica Redt. 



The table given by me (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, 1893, 

 p. 98), should be thus modified: —
