April, 1915 Bulletin of the Brooklyn Entomological Society 29 



Described from a small series of specimens collected by myself, 

 by beating the dead boughs of Western Yellow Pine {Pinus 

 ponderosa Dougl.), near Carrville, Trinity Co., Cal., in June, 1913, 

 and at McCloud, Siskiyou County, Cal., July i, 1914. 



This species varies but little in size though somewhat in color, 

 the more mature having the pronotum and apical portion of the 

 elytra darker. It is probably closely related to parallelus Melsh., 

 but evidently distinct by the characters given. 



C. parallelus Melsh. fRhizophagus parallelus Melsh., Proc. 

 Acad. Phil., II, p. 108. 



This species, which is found in the Atlantic States, under the 

 bark of coniferous trees, is apparently rare. It seems from the 

 description, for I lack a specimen, to closely resemble calif ornicus. 

 It can, however, be separated from that by the distinctly punctate 

 elytral intervals.

 XXXVI, No. 2 (1910), p. 127. 



This species is closely related to the eastern C. cylindricus Lee. 

 but easily separated by the characters of the head and the fact that 

 the elytral striae are only evident basally, whereas in the latter, 

 they are distinct to the apex. Found on the Huachuca Mountains, 

 Arizona — 9,000 feet (type locality) ; Las Vegas, Hot Springs, 

 New Mexico (Barber and Schwarz) ; Colorado (Champlain) ; 

 high Southern Sierras of Mariposa County on Sugar Pine {Pinus 

 lamhertiana Dougl.) (Hopping), Glenn County (Hopping), 

 Trinity County (Hopping), Trinity Mts., near Carrville at over 

 7,000 feet alt. (myself). My specimens were beaten from 

 western yellow pine {Pinus ponderosa Dougl.). One of my 

 specimens was compared with the type by Fall and pronounced 

 not to " differ in any appreciable way from my type of N.. 

 caviceps. The serial punctures on the elytra are just visibly 

 larger in the type, but that is about all."
