22 TRANS. S. D. SoclIETY NATURAL HISTORY 
guished by the more convex form and by having the embolium 
merged with the corium beyond the middle, the present species 
lives on Ceonothus. 
142. Camptobrochis validus Reut. Torrey Pines, from elder 
trees growing near the foot of the grade, June 21, 1914, 
This species is exceedingly variable in color and I possess 
specimens that are almost entirely black. Those from Tor- 
rey Pines have the antenne entirely black and the head 
mostly so; the scutellum margined with pale. 
143. Camptobrochis phorodendronae n. sp. 
Nearest schwarzi but very distinct from any described spe- 
cies; small, broad ovate, very convex; elytra impunctate, bullate, 
abruptly deflexed behind. Length 3 mm. 
Head almost vertical, transverse; vertex convex, polished as 
in the allied species; clypeus and cheeks together abruptly pro- 
duced from the transverse front line of the face, basal sulcus of 
the vertex if present obscured by the markings, certainly absent at 
the middle. Antenne proportionately shorter than in schwarzi; 
basal joint very short, hardly attaining the apex of the clypeus; 
second about as long as the pronotum, moderately clavate; third 
and fourth shorter, together about two thirds the length of the 
second; the fourth much shorter than the third. Eyes very large 
and prominent. Rostrum attaining the intermediate coxe, the 
first joint scarcely surpassing the anterior line of the eyes. Pro- 
notum short, strongly convex and rounded, polished, coarsely punc- 
tured, callosities prominent, not attaining the lateral margins, 
resting on the very pronounced collum; sides moderately arcuated ; 
hind margin strongly rounded; middle line smooth as are also the 
narrow lateral and posterior margins. Scutellum strongly con- 
vex, impunctate, polished as in schwarzi. Elytra broad, a little 
bullate posteriorly, highly polished, impunctate except for a single 
line on the claval suture; embolium narrow, scarcely widened at 
base or connivent with the corium beyond the middle; cuneus 
small, polished and with the membrane almost vertical, the latter 
with one strong nervure only. Legs normal, smooth. 
Color pale testaceous becoming almost white on the scutellum 
across the bullate disk of the elytra and on the legs. Vertex cir- 
cumscribed by brown and with a transverse line posteriorly, mar- 
gins outside the annulus and the clypeus yellowish-white, the cly- 
peus edged with black. Apex of the second antennal joint broadly 
black; two thirds of the third and all but the narrow base of the 
fourth brown. Rostrum pale, the basal joint and adjoining sur- 
face darker. Pronotum with a lateral line, two oblique marks on 
the disk and two large spots on the base blackish; collum yellowish- 
white, lined behind with black. Scutellum with the tip and three 
more or less obvious basal clouds infuscated. Elytra pale brown- 
ish, the bullate posterior disk transversely whitish; all the mar- 
gins of the clavus and the costal and subcostal nervures black; 
euneus castaneous-brown. Membrane brownish hyaline, darker 
across the disk, the nervure lined with black. Beneath black; the
