32 Coleopterological Notices, III. 



the body, the third joint as long as the prothorax, (female) two-thirds to 

 three-fourths as long as the body, slender, not distinctly compressed, the 

 intermediate joints from three and one-half to four times as long as wide. 

 Prothorax from one-half (male) to nearly once (female) wider than long, the 

 lateral tubercle strong, the apex quite distinctly narrower than the base ; disk 

 extremely densely punctate, a very short narrow line in the middle usually 

 more or less impunctate. Elytra at base as wide as the prothorax, each elytron 

 narrowly truncate at apex and obtusely but very distinctly angulate exter- 

 nally ; disk of each with the usual three fine lines, rather finely, very densely 

 punctate toward apex, the punctures still dense but coarser toward base. 

 Length 15.0-19.0 mm. ; width 4.4-5.7 mm. 



New Mexico. 



Related to intermedins, but larger and with much finer, denser 

 punctuation, and black legs and antennae. In intermedins the 

 elytra are rounded behind and not truncate and angulate or even 

 prominent externally as in longipennis ; this is an unusual char- 

 acter in the present genus, but may be perceived also to a less 

 degree in hirtipes Lee. 



Four specimens from the Levette cabinet. 



C. crassipes n. sp. — Robust, subparallel, black to piceous-black through- 

 out, the elytra and entire abdomen pale brownish-testaceous ; lustre of the 

 elytra rather strongly shining as in punctatus; pubescence long, dense and 

 pilose on the pronotum, rather long subrecumbent dense and conspicuous on 

 the elytra, pale throughout. Head rather small, the antenna? (male) very 

 long and slender, much longer than the body, the third joint slightly shorter 

 than the prothorax. Prothorax coarsely, extremely densely punctate, with a 

 small indefinite median spot which is sparsely punctate ; lateral tubercles 

 moderate ; disk (male) one-half wider than long, the apex distinctly narrower 

 than the base. Elytra at base distinctly wider than any part of the prothorax, 

 two and one-third times longer than wide, rounded behind, each elytron very 

 narrowly feebly sinuate at the suture ; sides rather strongly convergent from 

 base to apex ; disk very coarsely punctate, the punctures becoming smaller 

 but extremely dense toward apex, the three fine lines distinctly traceable. 

 Legs black, the anterior and intermediate very short, with the tarsi dilated, 

 the posterior much longer, with the tarsi two- thirds as long as the tibise, 

 robust, the second joint nearly one-half longer than wide. Length 14.0 mm. ; 

 width 4.5 mm. 



Washington State. 



A single male example from the Levette cabinet. This species 

 is intermediate between punctatus and intermedins, possessing the 

 black legs and antennae and robust tarsi of the former, and the long 

 slender antennae of the latter; it is however abundantly distinct 

 from either. The male is much stouter than the corresponding sex
