third longer than broad at base, base and apex equal in width, widest at 

 middle, sides slightly constricted in front of and behind median lateral 

 tubercle, disc with a few sparse punctures and fine hairs. Elytra over twice 

 as long as broad, sides- straight and almost parallel, apices well rounded, the 

 disc with basal two thirds distinctly punctured, the punctures separated in 

 most cases by over their own width, the apex quite smooth, and the gen- 

 eral surface covered with a fine, sparse, and hardly evident pile. Length 

 5 mm., breadth 1.75 mm. 



Type, a male from Mineral King, Tulare Co., Cal., July 31, 

 1913, paratype from Alma, Santa Clara Co., Cal., in my own 

 collection. Besides these I have critically examined two from the 

 Big Trees, Calaveras Co., Cal., collected July 11 and 19, 1907, by 

 Dr. F. E. Blaisdell and five collected by Mr. Ralph Hopping from 

 Scafford Meadow, Tulare Co., Cal., July 8 and 10, 1910, Huckle- 

 berry Meadow, Fresno Co., Cal., alt. 6,500 ft., July 19 and Round 

 Meadow, Giant Forest, July 10. One of the ScafTord Meadow 

 specimens was captured on Jeffrey pine. One of Dr. Blaisdell's 

 specimens and one of Mr. Hopping's specimens, I have desig- 

 nated as paratypes. The entire series examined was uniform as 

 to essential characters, but somewhat variable as to size, one 

 female being 7 mm. in length. 



This specimen is undoubtedly closely related to O. rufulum 

 Gahan (rubrum Newm.), but it differs from that by being more 

 castaneous in color, less red, by having the eyes smaller and more 

 widely separated above, the elytral punctuation much finer and 

 the pubescence decidedly finer and sparser. 



Clytanthus pacificus n. sp. 



Black, antennae and legs rufous, middle of thighs somewhat piceous, and 

 patches of yellow hair disposed as follows : along the margin of the entire 

 pronotum, over the scutellum, as a lunate bar at the juncture of the ante- 

 rior and middle third of the elytra, as a transverse line midway between 

 this and apex, over a small area at the apex close to the suture, and at the 

 posterior part of the meso- and meta-epimeron and along the posterior 

 margins of the ventral segments. Head densely, coarsely and shallowly 

 punctured; the antennae one half length of body, the third joint twice as 

 long as second. Prothorax broader than long and densely, coarsely and 

 verrucosely punctate, the anterior border not distinctly elevated. Elytra 

 subparallel and over twice as long as broad. Length 9 mm., breadth 2.5 mm. 



Type from Marys Peak (near Corvallis), Or., and paratype, 

 somewhat smaller, from Carrville, Trinity Co., Cal., June 15,
