pronounced ; strise coarse and deep, becoming sulciform toward base, the punc- 

 "tures coarse and rather close-set as a rule but somewhat variable in spacing. 

 Under surface blackish, the abdomen dark piceo-rufous throughout; sides and 

 legs pale brownish-flavate. Length 6.5 mm. ; width 4.0-4.2 mm. 



Mexico (Sonora, probably near Hermosillo). Mr. Dunn. 



Differs from obliteratum in its much stronger striation, coarser 

 and less widely spaced punctures, less nubilate pale markings of 

 the elytra and rather shorter and stouter form. It does not ap- 

 pear to have been represented in the material elaborated by Mr. 

 Bates for the " Biologia Centrali-Americana." Five specimens, 

 very uniform in size. 



O. pallidum. — Broadly oval, moderately convex, very dull and aluta- 

 ceous in lustre, the upper surface pale brownish-flavate in color, the head 

 piceous at base, slightly metallic laterally, the pale frontal spot extending 

 posteriorly near the eyes to their posterior limit, the intermediate dark area 

 bifurcate; pronotum with a transverse submetallic spot occupying median 

 half, with a large pale brown spot in continuation laterally nearly to the side 

 margins; elytra pale, with the suture and a transverse median basal spot black- 

 ish and feebly metallic, the other dark areas brown and non-metallic, consisting 

 of a short basal line on the eighth and ninth and another on the eleventh in- 

 terval, a small triangular subsutural spot at basal third, another still smaller 

 double spot at outer third and basal %, and a very uneven zig-zag band at 

 apical third more expanded near, but not attaining, the sutural dark line. 

 Head rather strongly but very remotely punctate in the basal dark area. Pro- 

 thorax sparsely punctured throughout, the punctures becoming quite coarse 

 near the margins, much more than twice as wide as long, the sides rather 

 strongly convergent from base to apex and only just visibly arcuate; median 

 line moderately distinct. Elytra not quite as long as wide, distinctly wider 

 than the prothorax, moderately rounded externally at base, finely and feebly 

 striate, finely and remotely punctate, the punctures much coarser, stronger 

 and more close-set and the striae coarser and deeper toward the sides. Under 

 surface dark piceous-brown, the abdomen paler; sides flavate; legs pale brown. 

 Length 5.3-6.4 mm. ; width 3.7-4.1 mm. 



Utah (southwestern). Mr. C. J. Weidt. 



This species is evidently allied to gilae and robustum, differing 

 in the characters previously stated. Two specimens. 



The eleventh interval is rather more conspicuous than the 

 •others in width and paleness of color ; it partially separates the 

 small double spot before the middle, alluded to in the description.
