38. AEgialia latispima. Robust, sub-ovate, convex, black, Head 
less finely scabrous, epistoma finely margined, sub-truncate. Prothorax 
more than twice as wide as its length, narrowed in front, rounded on the 
sides and fringed with stiff yellow hairs; sides impressed near the front 
angles, which are small; base not margined ; disc coarsely sparsely pune- 
tured, without intermixed small punctures, sides nearly smooth, with the 
lateral fovee large, as in 47. crassa.. Elytra with strongly punctured striz, 
interspaces moderately convex. Scutellum small, convex at the middle. 
Front tibie with three large teeth, middle and hind tibie strongly and 
gradually thickened, with two long prominent transverse ridges ; spurs of 
hind tibiz long and thick, flattened and obliquely truncate as in 4. crassa. 
Length 3.7 mm ; .15 inch. 
Mojave Desert, Mr. Crotch, two specimens. Allied to 
4. crassa, but differs by the less ovate body, and distinctly 
punctured elytral striz. 
39. Agialia spissipes. Sub-cylindrical, sub-ovate, a little wider be- 
hind, rufous. Head finely scabrous, epistoma very finely margined, sub- 
truncate in front. Prothorax one-half wider than long, not narrowed in 
front, rounded on the sides and fringed with stiff hairs; front angles

Marquette ; two 3, one of which has been kindly sent me 
by Mr. Schwarz. This species is rather larger and a little 
less slender than P. reticulata, and iseasily known by the entire 
absence of phosphorescent spots on the abdomen. I may here 
mention that a 9 of the last named species in the collection
