so for a short distance at base; sides with the usual impression; sur- 
face closely moderately coarsely punctate throughout. Elytra obvi- 
ously wider at base than the prothorax, varying from a little less to a 
little more than 3-10 longer than wide, sides nearly parallel, surface 
finely lightly punctured between the feebly defined geminate striae. 
Length, 2414-28 mm.; width, 14-1534 mm. 
Female.—Castaneous, of the usual robust form; the clypeus more 
narrowly but very distinctly triangularly emarginate; surface sculpture 
rougher than in the male, as is usual. 
Habitat. Bailey Canon, San Gabriel Mts., near Sierra Ma- 
dre, California; elevation 2500 ft. 
Compared with fimbriata the present species differs most 
conspicuously in the more coarsely and closely punctured tho- 
rax and smoother elytra; there are, however, a number of 
other differences which are evident on closer attention. Three 
males in my collection from Eldorado Co. are undoubtedly 
typical representatives of fimbriata; all these agree in being 
relatively broader than any of the new series; the prothorax is 
scarcely narrower than the base of the elytra, with the sides 
more rounded posteriorly and with ill defined hind angles, the 
cephalic horn is also longer and more slender than in australis, 
in which it is distinctly more triangular when viewed laterally. 
In all my typical fimbriata the third antennal joint is shorter 
than the next two combined; in australis it is equal to the next 
two, and in puncticollis it is said to be longer than the two fol- 
lowing. Puncticollis differs conspicuously in having the long 
hair of the under body black.
