 CONCERNING OTHERS. 



By Edwin C. Van Dyke, Berkeley, Gal. <2> 



This paper is the fifth of a series of short papers dealing with 

 the Coleoptera of this country to be published by me in this jour- 

 nal. It will contain the descriptions of a number of hitherto un- 

 described species of Cerambycidse together with a few notes and 

 remarks concerning other and related species. 



Phymatodes fasciapilosus n. sp. 



Dark piceous, antennae and base of elytra rufous, underside of thorax 

 and most of legs rufopiceous, each elytron with two decussating white 

 fasciae; body generally clothed with sparse erect hair, the elyt'ral fasciae 

 bearing a dense, silky, white, procumbent pile. Head moderately densely, 

 coarsely punctured ; the antennae extending three fourths length of body, 

 the second joint small, less than one half length of third, the third very 

 distinctly longer than the fourth. Prothorax broader than long, as broad 

 as base of elytra, with sides evenly arcuate from apex to just before base 

 where suddenly constricted, and moderately coarsely, rather sparsely punc- 

 tured, more finely and sparsely at middle. Elytra two and a half times 

 as long as broad, shining and distinctly though sparsely punctured over 

 basal third, subopaque and less distinctly punctured over middle third, and 

 shining and almost impunctate apically; the anterior fasciae about one 

 third distant from base, extending obliquely outwards and forwards, 

 broader outwardly and slightly crescentic, the posterior fasciae less than 

 one third distant from apex, extending obliquely outwards and backwards, 

 of uniform width and straight. Male, length 5.5 mm. and breadth 2 mm. ; 

 female, length 7 mm. and breadth 2.5 mm. 



Type male and female and one paratype in my collection, taken 

 in the Rogue River Valley of Oregon, from the wild grape vine
