 Clemente Island: distinguenda, gibbosa and americana are 

 all very common all over the State (I have not seen any 

 gibbosa that were taken in the desert but it may occur 

 there): incompta is represented by only two examples 

 taken at electric light in Pasadena by Dr. Fenyes: 

 similata is plentiful near the coast from San Diego to 

 San Francisco: tenellais based upon two examples in the

 in the Horn and Le Conte collections are probably from 

 the desert, though this is not certain.

 Mill Valley, near San Francisco, by sifting earth about 

 the roots of a redwood. A specimen in the Hubbard 

 and Schwarz Collection is labeled Los Gatos.

Alindria. A. teres is rare; found under Pine bark, San

 Mojave desert, under bark of tree yucca. 



Tenebrioides. T. sinuata, moderately common under 

 bark in the Sierras. The following species or varieties 

 are recorded from this State: crassicornis, pleuralis , in- 

 termedia and calif ornica. With the exception of inter- 

 media, from San Jose, I am unable to ascertain exact
