 Diego (teste Smith); tosta, Yuma (Horn); nubila, San 

 Diego (Le Conte), Riverside, one example identified by 

 Smith; unicolor, Pomona, not common; injima and 

 cequalis also inhabit the State according to Smith. 



ANTHICID.E. 



In a recent revision of this family Casey has estab- 

 lished a large number of new genera, especially for the 

 reception of the species now included under Anthicus 

 and Xylophilus. It may be that some of these will stand 

 but the writer is convinced that many of them will not, 

 and until proper discrimination is possible, it has 

 seemed best to employ the genera recognized by Le 

 Conte and Horn in the " Classification." 



Eurygenius. E. constrictus is not very common; it is 

 taken by beating and sweeping, in the foot-hills near 

 Pomona and Pasadena, during May and June. 



Stereopalpus. 8. pruinosus is moderately common on 

 willows, near Pomona, in June: nimius and incanus are 

 described from " So. Cal." and Los Angeles County, re- 

 spectively: variipes, indutus, and impreesicollis are de- 

 scribed from the northern part of the State. 



Corphyra. C. distinguenda is not rare, Pomona dur- 

 ing April and May: bardii, Ventura, Santa Barbara, 

 Pasadena; not common: inconspicua, Riverside, Po- 

 mona, Pasadena; not rare. The males of all these 

 species are much rarer than the females, and as the lat- 

 ter sex are mutually nearly indistinguishable in many 

 cases, it is quite likely that we shall find other species 

 are inhabitants of our territory when the males are 

 known. The following species are also California!!:
