Platynin^ 13 



A very distinct and rather large species, which may be placed 

 near jejuna Lee, differing in its larger size and much more obsoletely 

 sinuate sides of the prothorax at base. In testacea the three rows 

 of femoral punctures, bearing very short stiff setae, are distinctly 

 defined; they are almost equally distinct here and are conspicuous 

 in jejuna. 



Rhadine pugetana n. sp. — Outline even more elongate than in the 

 preceding and larger in size, not very shining, the elytra opaculate, dark 

 red-brown, the elytra more blackish; upper surface only very feebly 

 convex, the side margins of both pronotum and elytra strongly and 

 sharply reflexed; head elongate, fully three-fourths as wide as the pro- 

 thorax, the eyes very moderate in size though prominent; antennae 

 long, blackish, less so basally, three-sevenths as long as the body, the 

 third joint one-half longer than the fourth; prothorax fully a fourth 

 longer than wide, widest at apical third, the sides there broadly, moder- 

 ately rounded, gradually oblique and very broadly, just visibly sinuate 

 posteriorly, the angles right but with the tips bluntly rounded; base 

 sinuate medially, distinctly narrower than the moderately sinuate apex 

 and three-fifths the maximum width; apical angles rather broadly 

 rounded; impressions obsolete; median stria impressed, more before and 

 behind the middle; lateral coarse gutter finely punctulate; base longi- 

 tudinally strigose; fovese concave, indefinite, partially formed by the 

 reflexed margin, traceable anteriorly beyond the middle, having a few 

 punctures laterally at base; elytra very elongate, almost evenly oval, 

 twice as long as wide, three-fourths wider than the prothorax, the sides 

 very gradually arcuate to the base; subapical sinus long, very oblique 

 and distinct; striae sharply marked, slightly punctulate at apex, fine 

 suturally, coarser externally; intervals flat, the third with four fine 

 punctures; tarsal claws very long as usual in this section. Length (9 ) 

 15.0 mm.; width 4.75 mm, Washington State (Wawawai), — Knaus. 



The general characters of this species ally it rather closely to 

 plumasensis , but it is materially larger, still more elongate, with 

 longer third palpal joint, this being distinctly longer than the fourth 

 in the present species, but not as long as the fourth in plumasensis, 

 and in the form of the elytral tips at the suture, which in the latter 

 species are distinctly angulate, while in pugetana they are narrowly 

 rounded. 



Rhadine tenuipes n. sp. — Very slender and depressed, testaceous in 

 color throughout, moderately shining, the elytra alutaceous; head 

 elongate, rhomboidal, three-fourths as wide as the prothorax, the eyes 

 very moderate, slightly convex; neck slightly over half the thoracic 

 width; front smooth, the oblique anterior impressions feeble and in- 

 definite, oblique; superciliary punctures equal; between the posterior 

 and the eye there is a rounded indentation; antennae slender, the third
