COLEOPTERA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 67 



Leptusa. A single specimen of a species taken at 

 Pomona. 



Oligota. A minute species is sometimes beaten abun- 

 dantly from the branches of trees; it is quite likely not 

 separable from pusillima. 



Sipalia. S. frontalis, "California." 



Bryobiota. B. bicolor is a very small linear species, 

 occurring rather plentifully on the ocean beach at San 

 Diego and Santa Barbara. 



Somatium. S. oviforme is occasionally found in some 

 numbers at Pomona, usually by beating. 



Gyronycha. G. obscura, rather common at times 

 along the banks of streams, Pomona; a smaller form 

 found in the Ojai Valley seems different. G. attenuata 

 occurs at Monterey and in Napa County. 



Bamona. B. falliana is not rare at Pomona along the 

 margin of streams. 



Myllaena. One example of a species taken in Los 

 Angeles County. 



Acylophorus. A. pronus, taken only in small num- 

 bers at Pomona, January, and Palm Springs in April. 



Heterothops. H. fumatus var. californicus and H. 

 carbonatus occur not uncommonly near springs or 

 streams: pusio is less frequent in like situations: occi- 

 dentis was taken deep in the detritus of hollow oak 

 stumps at Pomona, February. 



Quedius. The species occur for the most part under 

 stones or drift along the margins of streams in the foot- 

 hills and mountains, though fulgidus is likely to be 

 found almost anywhere. Q. capucinus and Q. limbifer are
