Studies in the Tenebrionid Tribe Eleodiini, No. 2 

 (Coleop.).* 



By F. E. Blaisdell, Sr., San Francisco, California. 



The following descriptions of new species and races have 



been in manuscript for a number of years. Nearly all of them 



have been distributed under the manuscript names, and it now 



becomes very imperative that they be pitblished without delay. 



Eleodes manni n. sp. 



Elongate oblong-oval to ovate (some 9 5), subasperate and mod- 

 erately convex, surface feebly shining. 



Head twice as wide as long, scarcely convex, feebly impressed just 

 within the prominent frontal margins; frontal suture more or less 

 evident as a glabrous line, sometimes impressed; surface rather coarse- 

 ly and more or less irregularly punctate, punctures denser laterally 

 and on the epistoma, vertex more finely punctured ; antennae long, 

 reaching slightly beyond the pronotal base, outer four joints moder- 

 ately compressed and feebly dilated, third joint quite equal in length 

 to the fourth and fifth combined, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh 

 joints subequal in length and obconical, eighth obconico-triangular, 

 ninth and tenth suborbicular in outline, eleventh obovate and obliquely 

 truncate at tip.
