"). S. pianatllS (ierm.— Body densely thougli ratlier lightly punctured, cas- 

 tiineous. Klytra less densely pun.'tiired, and sparsely pubescent. Anterior half 

 of sides of ])rotliorax parallel, then more rapidly converging. Length 2.0—2.7 mm. 

 This species mtiy be distinguished from tlu^ preceding by its partly 

 shining surface, thiit of the former being of perfect opacity, without a 

 trail- of lustre. The prothorax is much wider, with more imperfectly 

 developed teetii, and with the sides much less sinuous. Less punctured, 

 slightly smaller, and lighter colored specimens of this species from the 

 Pacific Sloj)e were niimed S. iii(i</iiliis, by Dr. LtK'onte, but I hardly 

 think there is a doubt tis to their identity with j>/(iii((/ii:i. Locality in the 

 present family .seems to be of very little con.sequence. 



4. K. iinbellis Lee. — Eiongated, body deejily and densely punctured ; pro-
