substriata has the antennae eight-jointed. Also allied to californica, 

 from which it differs in having the head more coarsely punctate, the 

 thorax more sparsely and the elytra more densely punctate with two 

 or three distinct striae near suture, and the different coloration. 



One specimen, a male, St. George, Utah. Type in collection of

"Elongatus, niger, capite, prothorace, femoribus (genua quarta 

 antica), elytrisque in sutura et in margine flavis; confertim punctato 

 striatis, oculis et antennis elongatis nigris; capite rotundato convexo, 

 sulco tenue ; inter oculos, prothorace vix longior quam latior, antice 

 semi-cylindrico, postice recte truncato lateribus modice rotundato, 

 longitudine convexo, trifossulato; scutello punctiforme fusco; elytris 

 elongatis, parallelis, singulatim rotundatis, tibiis tarsique nigrofuscis. 



"Antennae undecim articulatae, 1° articulo elongate, clavato, 

 2° breve, 3° longitudinis primi, 4° paululum minore, 5° conico, 6-10

The original description is given in full above, owing to the rarity 

 of the publication in which it first appeared. This species is imknown 

 in nature to the author, the characters given in the table of species 

 having been drawn from Chevrolat's description. 



Monophylla californica Fall. 



Elasmocerus californicus Fall, Occas. Papers, Cal. Acad. Sci., viii, 



1901, p. 251.

This species may be differentiated from terminata, which it 

 resembles in general form, by the slightly narrower thorax, the more 

 finely punctured elytra, the nearly or entirely black pronotum, the 

 usually brownish elytra with the margins not pale before the median 

 fascia or spot, and by the color of the abdomen, which is yellowish 

 red, more or less black at the sides. Length 5.5-6.3 millim. 



Specimens of californica in the author's collection from Browns- 

 ville, Texas, agree in every detail with the brief description of the 

 recently described variety pallipes, the type of which is also from 

 Brownsville, Texas, hence they are united.
