Color black; all the carina? of the head, pronotum and mesonotum and 

 the edges of the pleural pieces and abdominal segments fulvous; hind edge 

 of the pronotum and tegulae pallid. Legs f ulvo-testaceous ; femora lineate 

 and the tibia? obscurely banded at base and apex with fuscous. Elytra

Described from two male and two female examples taken

 This is a large dark species with a conspicuously small head. 



Oecleus quadrilineatus n. sp. 



Allied to capitulatus but with a broader vertex, tricarinate 

 mesonotum and narrower elytra with their nervures impunctate 

 beyond the middle. Length, male 5 mm., female 6 mm 



Head rather large; vertex distinctly widened anteriorly, especially in 

 the female. Front broader than in capitulatus, widening almost from its 

 base, its apex deeply impressed, the median carina obsolete at base. Prono- 

 tum deeply but not acutely emarginate, the lateral carinas conspicuous. 

 Mesonotum with three parallel carina?. Elytra narrow, the costal areole 

 of equal width from near its base, the costa not broadly arcuated as in 

 capitulatus. 



Color black, opaque; antenna? and carina? of the vertex, front, clypeus 

 and pronotum fulvous-yellow; the sides of the pronotum whitish. Mesono- 

 tum marked with four equidistant longitudinal fulvous vitta? placed between 

 the eoncolorous carina?. Base of the rostrum, lateral carinate edge of the 

 mesopleura and legs yellowish, the latter lineate with fuscous on the femora 

 and touched with the same color on the extreme base and apex of the

Described from one pair taken in the Huachuca Mts., Ari- 

 zona, in July 1905, by Mr. H. G. Barber. This species may be 

 recognized by the deep black tricarinate mesonotum marked 

 with four conspicuous fulvous vittse. 



Oecleus venosus n. sp. 



A stout black species with tricarinate mesonotum, with 

 heavy fusco-punctate elytral nervures and large black stigma. 

 Length 6 mm. 



Vertex deeply excavated, almost parallel, a very little wider anteriorly, 

 surpassing the eyes by less than its own width. Front broad opposite the 

 antenna", regularly narrowed to near the base and to the apex, median 

 carina almost obsolete above the antenna?; clypeus narrow with a strong
