Coleopterological Notices, V. 417 



scutellnm has a few coarse punctures. The species previously de- 

 scribed by me as humerale (Bull. Cal. Acad. Sci., II. p. 243) is 

 the same as suhcostatum. 



L.. ni^ropiceiim n. sp. — Oblong, broad, rather convex, polislied, gla- 

 brous and dark blackish-piceous throughout, the lateral edges of the pronotum 

 and elytra slightly paler from diaphaneity ; legs but slightly paler ; antennae 

 black, with one or two basal joints paler. Head short, transverse, scarcely 

 more than one-half as wide as the prothorax, broadly, feebly, longitudinally 

 biimpressed, the ocelli at the feeble nuchal constriction separated by two-fifths 

 of the entire width ; eyes well developed ; antennae as long as the head and 

 prothorax, gradually rather strongly incrassate, outer joints wider than long. 

 Prothorax very short, fully twice as wide as long, the sides strongly, evenly 

 arcuate ; base transverse, wider than the apex ; disk coarsely, strongly, 

 rather densely and unevenly punctate, very broadly explanate at the sides 

 and with the usual sublateral impression just before the middle ; oblique 

 subbasal impressions feeble but distinct. Elytra very slightly longer than 

 wide, a little wider than the prothorax and more than three times as long ; 

 sides parallel and broadly, feebly arcuate. Abdomen entirely covered by the 

 elytra. Legs rather short, moderately slender. Length 2.7-3.3 mm. ; width 

 1.5-1.8 mm. 



California (Sta. Cruz Co.). 



The three specimens in my cabinet are females, and may be dis- 

 tinguished at once from the corresponding sex of Jimetarium by 

 the dark color, shorter, broader form, and by the sculpture of the 

 elytra which, though similar in general to that of fimetariv/ni, is 

 more closely and unevenly punctate, the difference in size between 

 the minute punctures of the intervals and the coarser sculpture of 

 the series being much more marked than in that species. 



Li. reflexicolle n. sp. — Oblong, convex, very broad, polished, pale 

 brownish-llavate, the head and elytra feebly picescent, the latter paler at the 

 humeri and along the lateral margins. Head wider than long, rather large, 

 fully three-fifths as wide as the prothorax, strongly, rugosely punctate toward 

 base but finely and sparsely so anteriorly ; ocelli distant by two-fifths the 

 width ; eyes well developed ; nuchal constriction subobsolete ; antennae slen- 

 der, feebly incrassate, the sixth joint nearly twice as long as wide, eighth 

 distinctly longer than wide, tenth scarcely wider than long. Prothorax rather 

 more than twice as wide as long, the sides broadly, somewhat unevenly arcu- 

 ate ; base a little wider than the apex ; disk coarsely densely and rugosely 

 punctate, more sparsely and evenly so near the sides, broadly, strongly re- 

 flexed laterally, with a punctiform fovea in the middle rather distant from the 

 lateral margin ; median subbasal impressions coalescent, forming a transversely 

 arcuate channel. Elytra two and one-half times as long as the pi-othorax, and, 

 toward apex, fully one-third wider ; sides distinctly divergent from the feebly
