Arizona and California (San Diego Co.). Two specimens are 

 known. 



£UTHIOI>ES Bndl. 

 The characters relating to the palpi, which were given by Dr. 

 Brendel to distinguish this genus from Eutheia, may be assumed 

 to be doubtful; it is stated that the third and fourth joints are 

 united in a thick fusiform body sharply pointed. The antennae 

 are said to be strongly geniculate, and the posterior coxae very 

 moderately separated — which is the substance of the entire de- 

 scription. In the drawing accompanying the description, the hind 

 body is much inflated, in a way quite foreign to Yeraphis or 

 Eutheia, and the fourth palpal joint is represented as large, conical 

 and conspicuous, inserted axially in the tip of the third, the latter 

 short and obconic. The following species is the type : — 



1. E. latus Badl.— Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, XX, 1893, p. 283. 



Coarsely, faintly and sparsely punctured at the sides of the 

 elytra, otherwise impunctate ; vertex without impi'essions, the 

 pronotum with a median subbasal puncture, a longitudinal elon- 

 gate fovea near each basal angle, and, between this and the middle 

 one, two confluent punctures. Elytra \ longer than wide. 

 Length 0.66 mm. 



Iowa. The non-foveate head, very moderately separated hind 

 coxae and minute size, make it highly improbable that this species 

 can be congeneric with the cristata of the same author. It may 

 possibly prove to be a species of Ascydmus, in which case that 

 name would have to be replaced by Euthiodes, and the tribe 

 known as the Euthiodiini. 



Chevrolatiini, 

 The single known genus of this tribe contains but few species, 

 exceedingly rare in individuals and distributed perhaps about 

 equally in Europe, northern Africa and eastern Xorth Amer- 

 ica; it is not known thus far from the Pacific coast regions of the 

 American continent. It is a very isolated type, but aside from 

 the radically different; form of the head, seems to have considerable 

 aflflnity with the Eutheiini, especially through Yeraphis. 



CBEVROLATIA Duval. 



The body is subdepressed, with truncate elytra and a largely 

 exposed and feebly declivous dorsal pygidium as in Eutheiini.
