COLEOPTERA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 131 



March. Specimens of brunneus are labeled "Gal. "in 

 the Le Gonte Collection, and Horn cites pygmceus Gorh. 

 from California in his list of the Coleoptera of Lower 

 California.* 



Hedobia. H. granosa, not rare, Pomona, Pasadena, 

 Ojai Valley; March to April; chiefly found on live-oak. 



Ernobius. E. debilis, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz 

 Island (Le Conte). An apparently undescribed species 

 near punctulatus has been taken abundantly on pines in 

 the San Bernardino Mountains. Another undescribed 

 species occurs also on pines about Lake Tahoe. E. punc- 

 tulatus is described from the northern coast region, and 

 alutaceus from " Gal." 



Ozognathus. 0. cornutus, Pomona, Pasadena, River- 

 side, February to May: miseUua, San Diego. The orig- 

 inal specimens of the former sent to Dr. Le Conte were 

 said to have been hatched from galls. 



Xestobium. One example of an undescribed species, 

 taken at Pomona in May: affine is recorded from " Van- 

 couver and California." 



Oligomerus. Three species doubtfully congeneric are 

 for the present referred here. One is not rare on Cata- 

 lina Island; found by beating Heteromeles arbutifolia; 

 a second occurs on Quercus agrifolia at Pasadena in 

 June; the third is represented by a solitary example 

 found dead among the sand-dunes near the beach at 

 Santa Monica. 



Sitodrepa. S. panicea is more or less frequent every- 

 where in houses. I raised a nice crop once from a lot 

 of European Coleoptera received from France.
