COLEOPTERA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 45 



River at Yuma: hornii and splendidulus are also reported 

 from Yuma, but I have not seen specimens: texanus* is 

 reported from Needles by Wickharn: lustrans and occi- 

 dentalis are rather widely diffused, the former being 

 common nearly everywhere, the latter more local and 

 scarcer. I have seen californicus from "So. Gal.", but 

 it is doubtless from the northern limits of this region. 

 Aside from menetriesii, isabellcej Iwtulus, and an unde- 

 termined species are all that have thus far been taken 

 on the islands off the coast. Of the other Calif ornian 

 species, serripes is from the Yosemite region; tarsalis, 

 planctus and protractus are all fairly common at Lake 

 Tahoe: angustus, middle coast region; inanus, middle 

 and northern Sierras: validus, brunneus, morionides, 

 caligans and vitreus are all northern. I have been un- 

 able to determine exact locality for castanipes; it is prob- 

 ably central or northern. 



Amara. A. jacobince has occurred at Riverside, June, 

 but is more common in the immediate neighborhood 

 of the coast San Diego, Santa Monica, Redondo, etc.: 

 scitula, rather uncommon, Pomona, September- De- 

 cember; San Bernardino Mountains, July: longula, one 

 example only, Santa Monica, February: insignis, 

 widely distributed from islands and beaches to moun- 

 tains, but not very common: insularis, abundant in 

 spring and early summer on all the islands: impuncti- 

 collis, Pomona and Pasadena; a few specimens seen: 

 inter stitialis, Sierras, not frequent: calif ornica, abund- 

 ant everywhere: remotestriata*, mountains Only, not rare: 

 gibba, "So. Gal." (Horn); not seen by writer: aurata, not 

 rare in early spring, less frequent later in the season; 

 widely diffused. A. farcta and A. robustula are recorded 



* Probably an incorrect identification of T. subcordatus.
