440 Coleopterological Notices, VII. 



•concolorous ; elytral suture narrowly blackish ; pubescence rather abundant, 

 coarse, pale, very short and closely recurved on the elytra, without longer 

 bristles. Head well developed, much wider than long, circularly rounded 

 behind ; eyes rather large, convex and prominent, extending to the middle ; 

 antennal prominences subobsolete ; clypeus simple, asperulate, with an evenly 

 rectilinear and transverse apical margin. Antenna; slender, much longer than 

 the head and prothorax, the club narrow and gradual in formation ; second 

 joint obconic, fully }4 longer than wide, fully as long as the next two and 

 much thicker ; three to six almost equal among themselves, cylindric and 

 about as long as wide, the third very slightly the shortest ; seventh ^ thicker, 

 subglobular, about as long as wide ; eighth nearly % thicker than the seventh, 

 conic in apical third, subglobular, about as long as wide ; ninth and tenth 

 equal in form and size, about }^ wider than the eighth, scarcely % wider than 

 long ; eleventh large, decidedly stouter, fully as long as the two preceding, 

 oval, gradually and acutely ogival and oblique toward tip. Prothorax feebly 

 conic, with the sides nearly straight, about as long as wide ; apex truncate 

 and fully % as wide as the- base, the latter scarcely more than % wider than 

 the head ; surface very obsoletely biimpressed transversely near the basal mar- 

 gin. Elytra almost % longer than wide, distinctly more than twice as long as 

 the prothorax and nearly % wider, widest and with the sides somewhat more 

 arcuate near basal third ; apex narrowly subtruncate and rounded ; humeral 

 plica narrow but somewhat long and strong, the adjacent impression rather 

 narrow and small but distinct ; inner fovea feeble, the outer almost obsolete ; 

 subsutural impressions narrow but rather distinct, the suture feebly and finely 

 elevated basally but not distinctly beaded. Legs well developed; anterior 

 femora rather strongly, the other four distinctly less although somewhat 

 strongly, clavate ; tarsi filiform. Length 1.15 mm. ; width 0.4 mm. 



Oregon (Huntington). Mr. Wickbam. 



The first ventral segment is large but simple and not fringed, 

 tbe apical margin broadly arcuate and widely overlapping the 

 second segment. No sexual characters are observable in the 

 unique type. The species may be recognized by its very short 

 elytral pubescence, subobsolete transverse pronotal impression 

 and antennal structure. 



Although inhabiting a Pacific State, this species cannot be re- 

 regarded as belonging to the true Pacific coast faunal region, 

 as the town of Huntington is on the extreme eastern border. 



53. C uim1>atuiu n. sp. — Narrow with subinflated hind body, polished, 

 impnnctate, rufo-testaceous, the elytra slightly brighter red; legs and antennae 

 pale brownish-testaceous ; pubescence moderately abundant, pale, coarse, short, 

 even and recurved on the elytra. Head rather small, rounded behind the 

 eyes, which are moderate in size but somewhat prominent, extending about 

 "to the middle ; antennal prominences somewhat distinct, the front broadly 

 impressed ; clypeus flat, the apical edge perfectly even and transversely rec-
