iirst and second together, the fourth very narrow, not more than 

 one-half wider than the grooves, each with a single series of small 

 but deep, distant punctures, which are broadly confused on the third, 

 and, to some extent, on the fifth. Abdomen very coarsely and 

 deeply punctured. Prosternum flat, broadly constricted behind the 

 apex, separating the coxae by about their own width. Length 2.8 

 mm. ; width 1.2 mm. 



Colorado. Cab. LeConte. Represented only by the unique type 

 from which the description is taken. This species differs from in- 

 signis in its smaller size, straighter and more convergent sides of 

 the prothorax toward base, much more uneven and more sparsely 

 punctate elytral intervals, and in many other characters. 



2 Calandrimis insignis n. sp. — Ovulate, strongly convex, highly 

 polished, the head alntaceous, blackish-piceous, the legs and beak rufous ; 

 vestiture consisting of long rather robust hairs, yellowish in color, sparse on 

 the pronotum, becoming broader white denser and squaraiform near the sides 

 anteriorly and at lateral sixth toward base ; on the elytra the yellowish slen- 

 der squamules are moderately dense toward base, becoming denser white scales 

 near the humeri, and also on intervals one, and four to seven, for a short dis- 

 tance behind the middle, the yellowish squamules elsewhere very sparse ; 

 under surface uniformly and rather sparsely clothed with elongate white scales. 

 Head with a distinct, rather large frontal fovea, the impression almost com- 

 pletely obsolete ; beak as long as the head and prothorax, arcuate, slender, 

 finely, sparsely punctate, the punctures linearly arranged along the side of 

 the impunctate line ; antennae nearly as in grandic.ollis. Prothorax very nearly 

 as long as wide, the sides parallel, evenly, rather strongly arcuate in basal 

 four-fifths, then rounded, convergent and broadly constricted to the apex ; base 

 feebly oblique and straight from the centre to each basal angle ; disk with a 

 wide subentire distinctly defined impunctate line, the punctures somewhat 

 coarse, deep, very close but not quite in mutual contact. Elytra one-fourth 

 longer than wide, nearly one-half longer than the prothorax, and, at basal 

 fourth, a little wider than the disk of the latter, oval in form, the sides strongly 

 arcuate toward base, thence convergent to the narrowly rounded apex, disk 

 with coarse, deep, abrupt, remotely and distinctly punctate striae, the inter- 

 vals flat, from one-half wider than, to about twice as wide as the grooves, finely, 

 sparsely and more or less confusedly punctate throughout. Abdomen coarsely, 

 deeply punctate. Length 3.4 mm. ; width 1.5 mm.

I owe the above- described type to the kindness of Mr. W. Julich, 



in whose cabinet there is a series of several specimens. The species 



is easily distinguishable from grandicollis by the characters given 



in the table, and also by the coarser striae and denser and more
