128 CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. 



lineellus is rare, mountains of Los Angeles County: 

 obtusus, breviusculus , and seminudus are found in middle 

 California; the first named I have taken from coniferous 

 trees at Lake Tahoe: expansus, nitens and cruralis are 

 northern: fastidiosus and minutus are described without 

 definite locality. 



Dasytastes. D. catalince and D. insularis have thus 

 far been found only on Santa Catalina Island. The 

 former is quite common on various flowers in July; the 

 latter has been taken but once (Aug. 1). D. bicolor is a 

 common species at Pomona in May and June. A small 

 species found by me on oaks in the San Bernardino 

 Mountains is referred to remissus. D. dispar occurs 

 north of San Francisco, and otiosus is without specific 

 locality. 



Eschatocrepis. E. constridus is everywhere common. 



Allonyx. A. sculptilis is an uncommon species; I 

 have taken it at Pomona in June, and at Pasadena early 

 in April. Casey describes denudatus from north of San 

 Francisco, and disjunctus from " California." 



Vectura. V. longiceps is described from Yuma, Ari- 

 zona; it is probable that the specimens were taken on 

 the California side of the river. 



Eurelymis. E. flavipe.s, San Bernardino Mountains, 

 elevation 6,000 feet, July 5 (Daggett); two examples 

 only were taken. This species occurs also in the middle 

 Sierras. 



CLERID.E. 



Elasmocerus. E. californicus is an uncommon insect 

 of which I have seen specimens taken from Sonoma to 

 Los Angeles counties.
