COLEOPTERA OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 197 



May. Of T. prolixus one specimen has been found, also 

 on Lupinus, at Pomona in May: setosus is obtainable in 

 numbers on mesquite in the Colorado Desert; and with 

 it is what appears to be an allied, undescribed species:

Micromastus. M. gracilis, San Francisco. 

 Tyloderma. T. morbillosum, San Francisco. 

 Zascelis. Z. irrorata, "Cal., Nev., Col." 



Piazurus. P. californicus is abundant on pines in 

 the Sierras.

 Yurna, and a single specimen from Ensenada, Lower 

 California. G. adspersus is our commonest species; it 

 is obtained by sweeping weeds in waste places, and is 

 wide-spread: longulus is found only on coniferous trees 

 in the higher parts of the Sierras. In the northern
