One specimen, collected at Cape San Lucas, Lower California, 

 by Mr. Xantus. Body above piceous, clothed with rather long, 

 not dense pubescence ; head densely punctured, a little wider 

 than the thorax ; palpi and antennae testaceous, the latter as 

 long as the head and thorax, with the 2d joint two-thirds as long 

 as the 3d, which is about equal to the 4th ; llth joint about one- 

 third longer than the 10th. 



Thorax about twice as long as its greatest breadth, broadly 

 bisinuate at the sides, middle prominence as wide as the apex ; 

 base slightly narrower ; surface shining, finely and rugosely punc- 

 tured, lateral constrictions not obvious on the disc ; a small im- 

 pression at the middle near the base. Elytra wider than the 

 thorax, slightly dilated behind, humeri prominent, rounded ; 

 finely, not densely punctured, and with rows of quadrate punc- 

 tures becoming obsolete about one-fourth from the tip : color from 

 the base to the middle pale piceous, with a dark humeral spot 

 and a large posterior cloud ; then a wide pale yellow band, con- 

 cave anteriorly, occupying about one-fifth of the surface ; then

 slightly fuscous ; head and thorax colored beneath as above.
