rather small, at fully three-fourths more than their length from the base ; 

 front with a feeble and posteriorly angulate flat depression, extending from 

 the middle to the apex ; antennae long, distinctly incrassate, two-fifths as long 

 as the body, the three basal joints gradually decreasing in length, four to ten 

 obconical, the latter nearly one-half wider than long, eleventh well developed. 

 Frothorux about as long as wide, the sides very feebly convergent and straight 

 in basal three-fourths ; apex and base equally and distinctly arcuate, the 

 former slightly the narrower ; basal angles obtuse but rather distinct ; disk 

 just visibly impressed along the median line except near the base and apex. 

 Elytra quadrate, parallel and straight at the sides, one-fourth wider and 

 longer than the prothorax ; humeri narrowly exposed ; disk flat, rather 

 widely impressed on the suture near the scutellum. Abdomen linear, parallel 

 and straight at the sides, distinctly narrower than the elytra, the first two 

 segments strongly and widely, the third and fourth very feebly, transversely, 

 impressed at base, the raised basal part emarginate in circular arc ; fifth 

 nearly one-half longer than the fourth. Length 2.4 mm. ; width 0.45 mm. 



Nevada (Reno). 



The two specimens serving as types appear to be females. This 

 species is quite distinct from any of those described above by the 

 larger head, smaller eyes, more incrassate — though not much 

 shorter — antennaB, wider neck and relatively somewhat smaller 

 elytra. 



G. attenuata Csy.— Bull. Cal. Acad. Sci., 1, 1885, p. 306 (Calodera). 



This species is nearly similar to Hneata, but has the antennae 

 shorter and much stouter and the prothorax quite distinctly wider 

 than long. Length 2.0 mm. ; width 0.45 mm. 



G. pertenilis n. sp. — Narrow, linear, depressed, piceous-black, the pro- 

 notum and elytra slightly paler ; legs and basal parts and tip of the abdo- 

 men pale flavate ; integuments highly polished, the punctuation excessively 

 minute, sparse, the pubescence of the head and pronotum rather long, sparse, 

 of the elytra a little shorter and closer, of the abdomen very sparse, the erect 

 setse sparsely bristling along the sides. Head rather convex, unimpressed, 

 fully as wide as the prothorax, nearly as long as wide, the neck distinctly less 

 than one-half as wide as the width across the eyes, the latter small, at about 

 twice their length from the base, the basal angles broadly rounded ; antennae 

 short, scarcely longer than the head and prothorax, distinctly incrassate, the 

 first joint a little longer and much thicker than the second, the latter as long 

 as the next two, tenth nearly one-half wider than long, the eleventh large, 

 rather wider than the tenth, pointed near the apex and much longer than the 

 two preceding. Prothorax nearly as long as wide, broadly rounded and con- 

 vergent at the sides in apical third, the sides thence feebly convergent and 

 just visibly sinuate to the distinct basal angles ; base broadly arcuate, fully 

 three-fourths wider than the apex ; disk broadly, feebly convex, even. Elytra
