where it is abbreviated; 3d stria wanting. Beneath finely sparsely 
punctured. Antenne and tarsi yellow-brown. Length 2mm.; .08 inch. 
North Carolina; Dr. Zimmermann, one specimen. This 
species resembles Dorcatoma in the sculpture, but the form is 
more robust, and the eyes emarginate to near the middle. 
98. Caenocara californica, n. sp.—Broadly ovate, convex, black, 
shining, with fine sparse sub-erect hairs. Head and prothorax rather 
densely punctulate. Elytra less densely punctulate, with three striz near 
the sides; Ist and 2d entire, 3d beginning at the base and extending one- 
third the length; there is no marginal stria. Beneath finely punctured 
(antenne not seen). Eyes almost divided. Length 1.5 mm.; .06 inch. 
California; one specimen received by Dr. Horn. Very 
similar to the small form of C. oculata, but differing by the 
more densely punctured prothorax, and more finely punc- 
tured under surface.

BYRRHODES, nov. gen. (ANOBIINI. ) 
Body rounded, slightly oval, convex, pubescent with coarse hairs. Head 
inflexed, broad, mandibles resting against the metasternum in repose ; un- 
der surface . Antenne 10-jointed ; 1st joint large, auriculate, 2d nodose, 
rather large, attenuated at base, 3d slender, 4th and 7th subtransverse, 
gradually slightly wider (4th appears to be indistinctly impressed trans- 
versely); 8th triangular, as Jong as the whole stem, from the 2d to the 7th;

Eyes not convex, not emarginate, partly covered behind by the prothorax. 
Prosternum not seen, front coxse deeply sunk in the cavity, not seen. 
Mesosternum concealed by the metasternum, which is produced in front 
into a broad square process, the anterior margin of which is slightly 
rounded, and the front angles are acutely prominent laterally. The pos-
