tinctly lobed, and that the antenne are distinctly longer than the 
head. In texanus, the disc of the thorax is slightly convex, but in 
this species it is flat as in opacus. In californicus the two proc- 
esses which arise from each intermediate antennal joint arise 
close to the apex, not basally as stated by LeConte for texanus, 
and the eleventh joint most distinctly has a single terminal process 
of its own. Californicus is also mainly piceous in contrast to the 
usual testaceous color of the other two. The color is, however, 
inclined to vary in all, I believe. 
PTINIDZ. 
Eucrada robusta n. sq—Elongate, parallel, piceous, tarsi paler. Head 
rather finely and sparsely granulate and sparsely clothed with fulvous pile, 
the antennz reaching to beyond the middle of the body, second joint small, 
third two thirds length of fourth and distinctly serrate, joints 4-10 of 
about equal length and markedly serrate, the projecting processes almost 
equaling the shank, the eleventh joint longer than tenth and slightly cla- 
vate. Prothorax broader than long, very convex, the disc compressed 
basally, a shallow groove just back of apical margin, surface granulate, 
less markedly at sides. Elytra three times the length of prothorax, over 
one third wider, evenly convex, closely and coarsely striate-punctate, the 
punctures irregular on disk but quite regular and larger at sides, intervals 
narrow, each with a row of minute depressed fulvous hair, narrowly mar- 
gined at sides but more broadly so at apex. Beneath finely, rather sparsely 
punctate, except last ventral and pleura, which are granulose. Length 8 
mm., breath 3.25 mm. 
Type, a unique female in my collection, taken in the Selkirk Mountains 
of British Columbia, during the summer of 1905, by Professor J. C. Brad- 
ley and kindly presented by him. 
This species is most distinct, its larger size, uniform color, and 
regular convex elytra enabling it to be readily separated from E. 
humeralis Melsh., the only other species in the genus. 
Ernobius cupressi n. sp.—Elongate, moderately robust, brown with luteous 
areas along suture near apex, slightly shining, moderately well clothed 
with short, fine recumbent hair. Head granulate-punctate, eyes separated 
on the front! by about twice their vertical diameter, slightly smaller in 
female and more broadly separated; antenne of male extending to last 
quarter of elytra, all joints longer than wide, joints three and four nearly 
equal and about twice as long as wide, 5-7 but slightly increasing in length 
outwards and at least! three times as long as wide, eighth fully four times 
as long as wide, ninth as long as seventh and eighth together, 9-11 of
