globosa is common on the seashore, near San Francisco: 

 kumeralis is said to be from " Cal." 



Anemia. A. calif ornica, Owens Valley. 



Platydema. P. subquadratum, Colorado River. Mr. 

 Wickham reports it as not rare in August at East Bridge, 

 just across the river from Needles. P. oregonensis is rather 

 common about fungus on old stumps, under bark, etc., 

 in the Sierras from San Diego County north. 



Alphitophagus. A. bifasciatus is not especially un- 

 common of late at Pasadena and in the neighboring 

 mountains. 



Hypophlceus. H. substriatus occurs in the Sierras, 

 under bark: opaculus is very scarce; two examples were 

 taken in March from the burrows of Monarthrum scutel- 

 lare, in live-oak. 



Pentaphyllus, P. californicus is northern. 



Eleates E. explanatus and E. occidentalis both occur 

 on fungus growing on logs in the region about Lake 

 Tahoe; the former also inhabits the forests to the north- 

 ward of San Francisco. 



Megeleates. M. sequoiarum, middle Sierras Lake 

 Tahoe and Calaveras. The larva has been taken by Dr. 

 Blaisdell in a species of woody fungus, and has been de- 

 scribed by Wickham. 



Apocrypha. A. anthicoides, Pomona, Pasadena, San 

 Diego; uncommon. All specimens seen have been taken 

 in early spring. Dr. Fenyes once found it associated 

 with ants, but perhaps accidentally, as this habit has 

 not been elsewhere noticed. A. dyschirioides is said by 

 Blaisdell to occur rarely near San Diego: divinoides is 

 found in Owens Valley.
