1. V. impressa Lee— Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., V, No. 3, p. 513 (Eutliia). 



Dark rafo-testaceous, shining, sparsely pubescent. Head con- 

 vex, smooth ; vertex with two small fovese. Prothorax smooth, a 

 little longer than wide, rounded on the sides, narrowed near the tip; 

 disk convex, with a deep transverse line near the base upon which 

 is a small medial puncture ; near the hind angle at each side there 

 is a small elongate fovea. Elytra convex, scarcely perceptiblj^ 

 punctulate. Length 1 mm. 



California (Lake Tahoe). It may be strongly doubted that the 

 prothorax is longer than wide, as stated above by LeConte ; it 

 would be a most remarkable form for the present tribe. 



^. Y, longula Lee— Bull. U. S. Geol. Surv., V, No. 3, p. 513 (Euthia). 



Elongate, rufo-testaqeous ; antennae and legs yellow ; elytra 

 from the first third nearly to the tip darker ; pubescence sparse 

 and rather coarse. Head with two large shallow foveae. Pro- 

 thorax longer than wide, not narrowed in front, slightly rounded 

 at the sides, marked with a transverse impressed line near the 

 base ; upon this line are situated two large punctures each side 

 and a smaller one at the middle. Elytra sparsely punctulate. 

 Length 1 mm. 



Colorado (Garland). This species is apparently represented 

 only by the unique type in the cabinet of LeConte. If the form 

 of the prothorax is as stated in the original description given 

 above, this must be a very singular form, but the tendency of the 

 author referred to is, as I have several times before had occasion 

 to remark, to greatly magnify the length of a part in terms of its 

 width. In the figures accompanying the revision of LeConte 

 (1. c), the prothorax of longula as delineated is as long as wide, 

 that of impressa a little wider than long. 



3. T. cavicornis n. sp. — Oblong-suboval, rather convex, polished, im- 

 punctate, the elytra extremely minutely, sparsely and feebly punctulate ; pubes- 

 cence rather sparse, inconspicuous anteriorly, rather long coarse pale and 

 strongly recurved on the elytra, intermingled with a few erect setae. Head 

 much wider than long, broadly impressed basally, the constriction feeble in the 

 depression, the fovese small and shallow, separated by less than }il of the total 

 width, the surface between them and thence anteriorly for a short distance 

 scarcely noticeably convex but closely and asperately punctulate; eyes rather 

 large and convex, somewhat finely f aceted ; front transversely angulate between 

 the widely distant antennae, then rapidly declivous to the clypeus, which is 

 very short and rectilinearly truncate; labrum transverse. Antennse barely as
