subcircular behind, the eyes rather small and not prominent ; front not at all 

 impressed; clypeus feebly asperulate, perfectly even and transversely rectilinear 

 at apex. Antenna} slender, the club narrow and quite gradual in formation, 

 distinctly longer than the head and prothorax; second joint distinctly obconic, 

 much shorter and slightly narrower than the first, J2 longer than wide, as 

 long as the next two and much thicker ; three to six equal in thickness; third 

 and fourth subequal and distinctly shorter than wide ; fifth slightly elongate, 

 the sixth quadrate ; seventh only very slightly wider and distinctly wider 

 than long ; eighth scarcely % wider than the seventh, about as long as wide ; 

 ninth and tenth nearly ^ wider, )^ and )4 "wider than long respectively, 

 eleventh very gradually, conically and obliquely pointed, rather stouter than 

 the two preceding and nearly as long, paler in color. Prothorax rather feebly 

 ■conic, the sides slightly arcuate, not as long as wide ; apex fully ?^ as wide as 

 the base, the latter scarcely more than }^ wider than the head ; surface per- 

 fectly even and without trace of impression. Elytra scarcely ,^3 longer than 

 wide, much more than twice as long as the prothorax and fully ^5 wider, 

 widest well before the middle, the sides broadly arcuate ; humeral plica 

 moderate in length, distinct ; subhumeral impression rather well developed ; 

 foveas small ; subsutural impressions subobsolete, the suture very faintly 

 beaded near the imniediate base. Abdomen perfectly simple at base, the 

 process broadly obtuse. Legs rather slender, the femora moderately clavate, 

 the anterior pair more strongly; tarsi slender, with the joints decreasing very 

 gradually in length. Length 1.2 mm. ; width 0.55 mm. 



California (Pomona, Los Angeles Co.). Mr, H. C. Fall. 



The single male type before me has a somewhat slender and 

 contorted spur projecting obliquely from the tip of the hind tibise, 

 and distinctly less than half as long as the tarsus. This species 

 is related to anale and ventricosiim, but differs from both in the 

 shorter and more recurved pubescence of the elytra unmixed with 

 longer erect hairs. 



42. C setiger n. sp. — Moderately stout, polished and impunctate, rufo- 

 testaceous, the elytra paler and brighter red though obscure at base ; legs and 

 antennae paler testaceous ; pubescence abundant, coarse, pale in color and 

 ■conspicuous, moderately long but recurved on the elytra, where there are long 

 sparse and erect tactile setse interspersed, which are conspicuous on the flanks. 

 Head rather small, nearly as long as wide, parabolic behind the eyes, which 

 are somewhat small and but feebly convex ; antennal tubercles large and 

 feeble; the front very feebly impressed; clypeus flat, somewhat asperately 

 punctulate, evenly transverse and rectilinear at apex. Antennse slender, very 

 nearly % ^s long as the body, the club narrow but somewhat abrupt ; second 

 joint feebly obconic, % longer than wide, as long as the next two and much 

 thicker ; three to six eqiial in width and cylindric ; third and fourth equal 

 and nearly as long as wide ; fifth fully as long as wide ; sixth distinctly wider 

 than long ; seventh }4 wider, cylindric, not quite as long as wide ; eighth % 

 wider than the seventh, cylindric, as long as wide ; ninth and tenth conic at
