214 CONNECTICUT GEOL. AND NAT. HIST. SURVEY. [Bulk 



Vertex, length on middle one-third greater than at eye, equal 

 to one-third width across eyes, and equal to one-half length of 

 pronotum behind it, medially elevated, moderately sharply carinate, 

 roughened and depressed before reflexed lateral margins; tylus, 

 length one-half width, weakly sharply carinate, anterior margin 

 rounded, produced ; front weakly inflated, distinctly acute-angled 

 with vertex ; pronotum, length two-thirds width, anterior third of 

 disc depressed, roughened, carina strong across depression, 

 weakening posteriorly, lateral margins divergent, sharply carinate ; 

 elytra long, broadly convex, costal margins flaring widely before 

 middle, thence rounding to angulate apex. 



Genitalia: Female, last ventral segment one-half as long as 

 preceding, weakly convex ; py gofers, length one- third greater 

 than width, outer margins broadly curved at base, narrowing 

 apically, exceeded by ovipositor one-fourth their length. Male, 

 last two ventral segments narrowing, convex ; plates fused, length 

 slightly greater than width, disc laterally tooth-notched before 

 apical third, apex broadly truncate, medially notched, either side 

 of which slightly emarginate to roundingly produced lateral angles. 



Color: Constant pale grayish-brown; vertex and anterior half 

 of pronotum lighter ; approximating pale ochraceous ; distinct 

 spot on costa at middle broadening and usually fading inwardly on 

 disc, obscure spot on costal margin at base and another obscure 

 marginal spot at apex, deeper brown; variable obscure areas, 

 triangular before middle of costal margin and elongate on margin 

 before apex, hyaline. 



Distribution: Pacific Coast (Van Duzee). 



This species was described, as stated by Dr. E. D. Ball (1898), 

 "from a single female labeled 'Cal.' received from Professor 

 Bruner" and after the examination of other specimens "one of 

 which bore Uhler's Mss. name, A. angulata" I have examined a 

 series of fifteen male and fifteen female specimens collected by 

 Professor Hine, Ohio State University, Department of Ento- 

 mology, during July, 1907, from the following California locali- 

 ties: "San Antonia Canyon, Ontario," "Sta. Cruz Mts.," and 

 "Alameda Co." Both the male and female specimens agree 

 structurally and in coloration with Dr. Ball's description and I 

 have, here, described and figured the male genitalia for the first 

 time.
