COLEOPTERA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 187 



is abundant on Eriogonum cinereum, at Redondo, in 

 April and May; it has also been found in the foot-hills 

 near Pomona, but on what plant I am not now able to 

 say: velatus occurs in the " Sierra Nevada Mts. Mor- 

 rison:" naso is described from " Gal." 



Deporaus. D. glastinus is common on live-oaks,, 

 especially when in blossom, throughout our region. 



OTIORHYNCHID.E. 



Minyomerus. M. languidus, Fort Tejon (Horn). 

 Stamoderes. S. uniformis, Sonoma County. 

 Agasphaerops. A. nigra, Mendocino County. 



Trigonoscuta. T. pilosa is abundant throughout the 

 year in the sand-dunes along the ocean front. 



Eupagoderes. E. argentatus, E. desertus and E. varius 

 inhabit the Colorado Desert, while geminatus and plum- 

 beus occur farther north, in Owens Valley. It is almost 

 certain that plumbeus is not distinct from varius. Spec- 

 imens of a species of this genus have been found at 

 Claremont, by Professor A. J. Cook; these are possibly 

 vurius, but so far as seen they are uniformly vittate and 

 I am inclined to believe them different from anything 

 described. 



Rhigopsis. R. effracta is common on and about the 

 roots of various weeds, at Pomona, Pasadena, San Ber- 

 nardino, etc. Horn reports it as having been found 

 "feeding on yucca.' 7 



Amotus. One example of gracilior was found on the 

 beach at Santa Barbara, in February; it is not rare at 

 Santa Monica (Albright): longisternus seems very close 

 to the preceding, and like it was described from Los 

 Angeles County.
