612 Goleopterological Notices^ VII. 



A single specimen was kindly communicated by Mr. T. D. A. 

 Cockerell, in whose name it gives me pleasure to dedicate a dis- 

 tinct and interesting addition to the genus. 



C. suturalis. — Suboval, densely clothed throughout above with large 

 pale brown scales, becoming white in a fine median line and broader vitta at 

 each side of the pronotum, broadly along the elytral suture, more narrowly or 

 obsoletely toward base and sparsely and irregularly in an oblique region .ex- 

 tending from the humeri to the suture near apical third; under surface and 

 legs densely clothed with white scales, feebly intermingled with pale brown. 

 Mead and basal parts of the beak densely clothed with white scales, the eyes 

 well separated, the point of minimum distance asunder being at or somewhat 

 below the middle of the front, where they are separated by about 3^ of their 

 own width. Prothorax slightly shorter than wide, the sides subparallel and 

 biarcuate, abruptly rounded and convergent anteriorly to the broadly subtubu- 

 late apex ; sculpture entirely concealed, the scales much smaller and less elon- 

 gate than in cockerelli. Elytra nearly as in cockerelli and adspersus, but more 

 distinctly sinuate at the sides near basal third than in the former. Length 

 2.5-2.8 mm. ; width 1.0-1.2 mm. 



Utah (southwestern — Mr. Weidt) ; Arizona. 



A rather small species allied to cockerelli, but differing in the 

 conformation of the eyes, these being more widely separated and 

 with the inner margins more abruptly and widely diverging in- 

 feriorly, and with their upper angle much less obtuse. In ad- 

 spersus the eyes are nearly as in cockerelli but somewhat more 

 narrowl}'- separated and with their inner margins still more 

 strongly arcuate. Of adspersus I have before me a very large 

 series taken at Austin, Texas ; it also occars in Colorado and 

 Arizona. 



C koebelei. — Stout, oblong-oval, moderately convex above and clothed 

 densely with large dark brown scales, becoming white at the sides of the pro- 

 thorax and in two transverse arcuate series of small spots on the elytra; scales 

 dense and almost uniformly -white on the under surface. Head deeply exca- 

 vated above between the eyes, the latter separated by about ^ of their own 

 width, with the point of minimum distance asunder rather below the middle; 

 beak somewhat rugosely sculptured. Prothorax not quite as long as wide, 

 somewhat abruptly narrowed and rounded anteriorly to the broadly sub- 

 tubulate apex; sides parallel and feebly bisinuate; surface very densely and 

 rather coarsely cribrate. Elytra % longer than wide, }4 wider than the pro- 

 thorax and % longer; striae rather coarse and strongly punctured, not entirely 

 concealed by the vestiture, the squamules of the strial punctures rather slender. 

 Length 3.5 mm. ; width 1.5 mm. 



California (Siskiyou Co.). Mr. Koebele. 



The single example before me is in very poor state of preserva-
