COLEOPTKRA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 65 



Lomechusa. L. angusta has occurred twice, the first 

 specimen having been found with ants in the interior 

 of an oak gall at Pasadena (Fenyes), and the other under 

 rubbish at Redondo beach (Daggett): montana was 

 originally described from a specimen found under a 

 stone at Truckee, near the summit of the middle Sierras; 

 it has since been taken by Dr. Fenyes under bark with 

 ants, at Lake Tahoe, and farther north at Castle Crag in 

 like manner. 



Tarphiota. T. pallidipes and T. fucicola are common 

 on sea beaches. 



Tachyusa. Four species occur more or less commonly 

 along streams, where they may be taken in numbers by 

 "washing" the banks. It is not yet known whether 

 they are identical with any of the following middle and 

 northern species: experta, linear is, laticeps, faceta, har- 

 fordi, crebrepunctata. 



Tinotus. Two examples of caviceps were taken at 

 Pomona- in January. 



Myrmedonia. M. sonomw is described from Sonoma 

 County, and M. fauveli is said by Casey to occur near Los 

 Angeles. 



Anepsiota. A. insignis, San Francisco. 



Phlceopora. Two species so referred were found at 

 Pomona and San Diego. 



Calodera. C. attenuata, middle California (Monterey 

 and Napa counties). 



Polystoma. P. arenaria, not very abundant at 

 Redondo beach, San Diego, Santa Monica, and the 

 islands off the coast. I have seen one specimen from 



5 June 5, 1901.
