slightly longer than the body, with the joints four to eleven pale 

 testaceous toward base and black in apical third. I think that this 

 is probably the male of C. nevadica Lee, which was described from 

 a unique female. 



TOXOTUS Serv. 



T. lateralis n. sp. — Rather short and stout, moderately shining, black 

 throughout the body, legs and antennae, the abdomen rufo-testaceous and the 

 elytra with a pale narrow marginal vitta which does not quite attain the apex ; 

 pubescence short, cinereous, rather sparse, longer but not much denser on 

 the prothorax. Head rather finely densely and confluently punctate, broadly 

 tumid between the eyes, the latter rather large and convex ; antennae but just 

 visibly shorter than the body, rather stout, compressed, the fourth joint nearly 

 two-thirds as long as the third and about three-fourths as long as the fifth, 

 the third joint three times as long as wide. Prothorax a little longer than 

 wide, strongly constricted near apical third and basal fourth, the apex four- 

 fifths as wide as the base, broadly arcuate ; sides angularly tuberculate at the 

 middle ; disk finely, densely punctate, the punctures sparser in the apical 

 constriction. Elytra at base nearly one-half wider than the prothorax, two 

 and one-half times longer than wide, the sides very strongly convergent from 

 base to apex and nearly straight ; each elytron narrowly and obliquely trun- 

 cate, the truncature straight, the outer angle acute, not rounded, the inner 

 dentiform ; humeri rather prominent, less than right, narrowly rounded ; disk 

 nearly fiat, abruptly perpendicular at the sides, very finely, densely punctate 

 and also with slightly larger widely dispersed punctures. Under surface punc- 

 tured like the elytra, the abdomen more sparsely. Legs slender, moderate in 

 length. Length 13.0 mm. ; width 4.0 mm. 



California (near San Francisco). 



The single male specimen which I took at the summit of Mt. 

 Diablo, represents a species somewhat allied to the eastern trivit- 

 tatus Say (vittiger Rand.), but differing in its unusually long, and, 

 at the same time, stout and compressed antennas. The elytral trun- 

 cature is as in trivittatus, but with the sutural tooth much larger 

 and more conspicuous. 



AWTHOPHILAX Lee. 



A. Sllbvittata n. sp. — Moderately robust, rather convex, piceous-black ; 

 legs and antennae piceo-testaceous ; elytra pale luteo-testaceous, with a broad 

 common sutural and narrow submarginal vitta of piceous-black, the vittae 

 generally feebly marked and sometimes evanescent ; pubescence extremely 

 short and sparse, on the elytra consisting of very minute erect setae borne 

 from the punctures. Head finely, densely punctate, finely canaliculate be- 

 tween the antennae, the latter three-fourths as long as the body, with the
