San Francisco. The thorax is very short and much narrowed in front, less punctured on the 

 sides than in the middle ; the general form is that of Trachyscelis.

 elevated parts are smooth ; the apical coriaceous margin is testaceous, varies with the elytra, 

 and feet rufous.

One specimen, collected at Steilacoom, by Mr. George Gibbs, to whom I dedicate it with much 

 pleasure. The second spot of the elytra is situated about one-third from the apex, and extends 

 from the margin nearly to the suture ; the posterior one is near the apex, it also extends nearly 

 to the suture, but is dilated along the margin.
