tinctly impressed, sides obtusely and somewhat sharply angulated just 
before the middle, more or less straight in front of angulation, distinctly 
sinuate posteriorly, hind angles obtuse, sharp, and well defined. Elytra 
rather coarsely and densely punctured. Spurs of hind tibia slender, nearly 
equal. Beneath rather finely and moderately closely punctured. Length 
9 mm., breadth 3.5 mm. 
The female differs from the male described above in being more robust, 
both as regards prothorax and body, having a breadth of 4 mm., in being © 
testaceous except for the sides of pronotial disc and metapleura which are 
piceous, in having the antennal club much smaller, barely equalling the 
joints from 2-9. 
Type male and female in my own collection, paratypes deposited in the 
U. S. National Museum and California Academy of Sciences. 
This description is based upon twelve specimens collected by 
Mr. F. W. Nunenmacher at Waldo, Josephine Co., Ore., June 11, 
t910. A much larger series which I have also seen is in Mr. 
Nunenmacher’s own collection. ‘The species is fairly constant as 
regards characters and coloration and is most nearly related to 
D. fulgida Lec. It differs from that, however, not only in color, 
but in lacking the metallic luster, in having but a sparse pronotal 
vestiture, in female as well as male, whereas in fulgida the vesti- 
ture is quite dense, in having the thorax more transverse, in pos- 
sessing a less uniform type of pronotal punctuation, and by having 
the lateral angles of the prothorax much more sharply formed. 
Some few of the paler females of fulgida superficially approach 
the above, but these are more rufous than castaneous, as well as 
distinguished by the characters as given above. D. pallens Lec. 
is much smaller and proportionally more robust, besides having 
other distinguishing characters such as a different type of clypeus 
and prothorax. D. testaceipennis Fall has the same color pattern 
but is generally more robust and more shining, has the prothorax 
far less angulated at the sides, a less dense pubescence beneath, 
and so forth. 
Dichelonycha clypeata Horn—Several females of this rare species which 
have come into my possession since Mr. Fall’s Revision,* collected at San 
Mateo, Cal., March 31, 1912, by Mr. Hermann Kusche, and at Grizzly Peak, 
Alameda Co., Cal., February 15, 1913, by Mr. J. C. Birdwell, show that the
