5. Eu. quadriceps n. sp. — Moderately elongate, rather A'entricose, pol- 

 ished, sublmpunctate, rather pale rufo-testaceous throughout, the legs and 

 antennse concolorous ; pubescence rather abundant, moderate in length, erect 

 and somewhat strongly recurved on the elytra. Head quite small, quadrate, 

 behind the antennae only just visibly wider than long, the eyes well devel- 

 oped and somewhat convex, the tempora twice as long, broadly rounded, be- 

 coming subparallel for some distance near the eyes; upper surface minutely, 

 remotely punctate, the sparse pubescence directed transversely and inwardly 

 nearly throughout. Antennae }^ as long as the body, the club moderate in 

 thickness; basal joint more than }f^^ longer than wide, swollen toward the 

 deeply excavated tip as usual, grooved above, not quite as long as the next 

 two; second and third subequal in length, the former very slightly the thicker 

 and J^ longer than wide; third ig? fourth I3'', fifth 1, sixth }i, longer than wide, 

 the latter obconic ; six to eight very oblique at apex ; seventh and eighth a little 

 thicker, distinctly wider than long; ninth obtrapezoidal, nearly as long as 

 wide, as long as the two preceding and ^^ thicker; tenth subcylindric, trun- 

 cate, as long as the ninth and a little thicker, I4 wider than long; eleventh 

 still thicker, almost as long as the two preceding, gradually pointed. Fro- 

 thorax slightly longer than wide, widest and somewhat subangular laterally 

 behind apical third, the sides thence feebly oblique and straight to the base, 

 ^5 wider than the head, the disk feebly punctulate laterally near the base; 

 foveas small and inconspicuous. Elytra rather short and broad, % longer than 

 wide, barely twice as long as the prothorax and fully % wider, broadly para- 

 bolic at tip, widest before the middle but with the sides very evenly arcuate; 

 humeri large and conspicuous, tumid above, the basal impression larger and 

 stronger than usual, giving rise to a distinct humeral plica; subsutural impres- 

 sions long and feeble, the suture slightly elevated; disk not visibly punctu- 

 late. Pygidium equilatero-triangular, sparsely pubescent, not punctulate, the 

 upper margin thin and laminate, with a small median emargination. Legs 

 long, the femora strongly and quite abruptly clavate, the basal joint of the 

 hind tarsi not 14. longer than the second. Length 2.1 mm. ; width 0.75 mm. 



Arizona (Tu9son). 



The single specimen, which I took a few years since, indicates a 

 species somewhat allied to vestalis^hwi differing in its smaller and 

 more quadrate head, shorter, broader and more depressed elytra, 

 and, especially, in its abruptly and not gradually clavate femora. 

 The type has the sixth ventral a little shorter than the first as in 

 the male of vestalis, but the anterior tarsi are not dilated appre- 

 ciabl}^ ; in the female of the latter the sixth segment is not much 

 more than half as long as the first, and is more emarginated by 

 the tip of the pygidium.
