men, in the extent of the antennal scrobes, and in the impressed 

 groove surrounding the eye above and beneath, this appearance 

 being caused by the partial envelopment of the latter by the 

 scrobes. 



G. latipennis n. sp. — Form oblong, convex, densely clothed with 

 small, rounded, rather coarsely striate scales which are brownish, fer- 

 ruginous, and blackish, indiscriminately mingled on the prothorax, and 

 more coarsely and very irregularly mottled on the elytra; abdomen 

 densely squamose toward base, very sparsely so toward apex, and with 

 very sparse, coarse, short, erect setae. Head and beak conical with the 

 sides continuous and distinctly convergent from base to apex; eyes 

 widely distant, rounded, rather small and convex, the surface of the 

 head somewhat elevated above them and slightly prominent above 

 their upper edge; front with a short, impressed, median and longitudi- 

 nal groove between the eyes, which becomes a fine carina toward apex 

 the latter with a very small, triangular, impressed, glabrous area which 

 is broadly emarginate at apex; antennae affixed slightly beyond the 

 middle, the scrobes extending nearly to the apex. Prothorax one-third 

 wider than long, convex, feebly but distinctly constricted near the 

 apex and inflated behind the middle; sides strongly arcuate behind; 

 base truncate, distinctly wider than the apex; the latter broadly and 

 distinctly arcuate; disk finely, not densely, and very indistinctly punc- 

 tate, with very short, erect, sparse setae. Scutellum not distinct. Elytra 

 oblong, slightly longer than wide, more feebly convex above; sides 

 parallel, nearly straight, very broadly rounded behind; base broadly 

 emarginate opposite the prothorax; disk twice as wide as the pronotum, 

 very finely and obsoletely striate; the striae not perceptibly impressed, 

 and very finely, feebly, and not closely punctate; intervals flat, each 

 with a single widely spaced, and somewhat uneven row of elongate, 

 erect, squamiform hairs; each elytron is distinctly tumid or umbonate 

 near the apex externally. Legs sparsely squamose and setose. Length 

 5.0-3.5 mm.

Found in limited numbers near the town of Monterey under 

 the fallen leaves of the Monterey pine. 



ARAGNOMUS Horn. 



A. liiipidulus n. sp.— Rather robust, very densely clothed with 

 rounded, pale-brown scales, which are coarsely striate, slightly paler 

 along the median line of the prothorax, unevenly clouded with paler on 

 the elytra, where there is a posterior faint angulate band of darker tint; 

 scales slightly smaller and sparser on the abdomen, where they are 

 mingled with erect hairs, rather densely so toward apex; legs with
