COLEOPTERA OF BAJA CALIFORNIA. 243 



long as the next two, fourth scarcely bilobed. Claws 

 simple. Body with well developed under- wings. 



Telegeusis debilis n. sp. 



Form slender, resembling Mathinus, testaceo-piceous, 

 moderately shining, sparsely clothed with short semi-erect 

 yellowish hairs. Head sparsely indistinctly punctate. 

 Thorax quadrate with obtuse angles, apex truncate, base 

 arcuate, sides slightly sinuate at middle, disc feebly con- 

 vex with scarcely evident sparse punctuation, in each an 

 gle a distinct depression. Elytra half the length of abdo- 

 men, broader at base than the thorax, humeri rounded, 

 surface sparsely punctate becoming gradually granulate 

 and at apex densely granulate. Abdomen above sparsely 

 punctate, the three basal segments almost entirely smooth, 

 beneath more closely punctate. Legs and cox^ yellow- 

 ish. Length, .22 inch; 5.5 mm. PI. xx, fig. i. 



In this genus we doubtless have our first representative 

 of the tribe Drilini. It is, however, remarkable in the 

 length of the terminal joint, of the palpi, nothing at all ap- 

 proaching it is known to me in the entire order of Cole- 

 optera. The insect seems most nearly allied to Drilus, 

 but in the absence of the male nothing positive can be as- 

 serted.

This species was described from an unusually pale 

 colored specimen. Others recently received show that 

 the color may be entirely piceous, faintly bronzed. Others 

 have simply a pale humeral spot, which extends and widens, 

 covering nearly the entire elytral surface, except narrow 

 sutural and marginal piceous stripes. It is easily known, 

 however, in all its varieties by the short erect setse.
