also coarsely biimpressed laterally within the constriction. Scutellum distinct. 

 Elytra elongate-oval, widest and somewhat angulate broadly at the sides at 

 basal % ; humeri broadly rounded to the prothorax ; humeral plica and im- 

 pression rather long and distinct ; inner fovea large ; subsutural impressions 

 rather distinct ; suture narrowly elevated toward base. Dorsal pygidium well 

 exposed behind, parabolic. Legs long ; femora distinctly and equally clavate; 

 hind tarsi very long and filiform, the four basal joints decreasing rapidly in 

 length, the first almost as long as the next two. Length 1.5-1.65 mm.; 

 width 0.6-0,7 mm. 



California (Humboldt and Marin Cos.). 



In the male of this species the last two ventral segments are 

 much more convex than the remainder of the abdomen, and al- 

 most equal the first four in length, the sixth long, parabolic and 

 evenly convex throughout, the posterior trochanters prolonged 

 posteriorly in a slender corneous process, and the hind tibiae 

 thickened and internally flattened near the apex. 



11. S. subpunctatus Lee. — Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila., 1852, p. 150. 



Elongate-oval, moderately stout, polished, subimpunctate, the 

 elytra not finely but very feebly and remotely punctulate, dark 

 rufo-piceous throughout, the legs and antennae slightly paler and 

 more ferruginous ; pubescence rather sparse and inconspicuous. 

 Head transverse, the eyes very large, prominent and subbasal, 

 with the tempora very short and convergent to the neck, the im- 

 pression of the vertex large, transverse, deep and single, its pos- 

 terior margin rounded, the anterior transversely rectilinear ; front 

 strongly declivous anteriorly to the rather large and horizontal 

 clypeus. Antennse slender, fully ^ as long as the body, gradually 

 and moderately incrassate from the third joint to the apex ; sec- 

 ond joint as long as the first and only slightly narrower, cylin- 

 dric, I" longer than wide, nearly ^ longer than the third but 

 scarcely visibly thicker ; third to fifth subequal in length, about 

 ^ longer than wide ; sixth shorter, scarcely ^ longer than wide : 

 seventh nearly globular ; eighth slightly wider than long ; tenth 

 moderately transverse ; eleventh almost as long as the two pre- 

 ceding. Prothorax not quite as long as wide, rather more than ^ 

 wider than the head, inflated and rounded laterallj^ in apical half, 

 ■constricted at a considerable distance from the base ; surface with 

 a short and feeble transverse impression near the base, and two 

 larger impressions at each side in the lateral constriction. Scu- 

 tellum moderate. Elytra oval, widest and more prominently 

 j'ounded at basal f, ^ longer than wide, 2| times as long as the
