Aramigus. A. fulleri is rapidly spreading through- 

 out Southern California and attacking a variety of trees 

 and shrubs. I have found the beetles from September 

 to November, most frequently on rose bushes. 



Scythropus. S. californicus is an abundant species in 

 the middle Sierras. Specimens taken on pines in the 

 San Bernardino Mountains are probably distinct, but 

 are left here for the present: lateralis is described from 

 Lake County, ferrugineus from Marin County, cinereus 

 from Lake Tahoe. 



CURCULIONID^. 



Sitones. S. sordidus, "San Francisco and San Diego;" 

 it is unknown to the writer: crinitus, one example taken 

 at Pomona is so referred: nebulosus, one example, 

 Pomona, July: hispidiceps is the commonest species in 

 the vicinity of Los Angeles; identified by Capt. Casey, 

 who writes that his prominens and angustulus are to be 

 considered synonymous with this species: explicit us, not 

 rare at San Diego in February. I have taken one spec- 

 imen of a very distinct and undescribed species in the 

 San Bernardino Mountains in July. The following are 

 credited to the State, but their recognition is practically 

 impossible as our literature now stands: californicus, 

 4t Cal. and Oreg.;" vittatus, San Francisco; varians, 

 sparsus and osculans, Humboldt County; margaritosus, 

 Santa Cruz and Monterey; procerus, Napa; occidentalis , 

 Sonoma; montanus, Placer County; alternans, "Cal.;" 

 apacheanus, "So. Cal. or Ariz." 



Triglyphus. T. ater, middle Sierras; a fine species 

 which appears to be decidedly rare. 



Apion. A.-pennsylvanicum is one of our rarer species, 

 occurring at Pasadena in May and August; it is widely
