128 CASEY 



but still rather small laterally, the bead fine, straight at base ; scu- 

 tellum large, transversely triangular ; elytra somewhat more than 

 one-half longer than wide, parallel, rather strongly rounded and 

 narrowed to the ogival apex in barely apical two-fifths, the oblique 

 sides becoming nearly straight, the base not quite as wide as the 

 thoracic base, the surface somewhat uneven, deeply and somewhat 

 finely, densely rugose on the declivity, the punctures small, moder- 

 ately close-set, coarser posteriorly, the setae very minute and incon- 

 spicuous ; prosternnm smooth, minutely, sparsely punctate, the 

 process large, much constricted intercoxally, margined throughout ; 

 hind femora and abdomen very minutely, sparsely punctulate. 

 Length 12.0 mm.; width 5.68 mm. Locality not recorded but 

 probably fro m northern California callida n . sp . 



Sides of the prothorax subevenly rounded from base to apex 22 



22 Body oblong-suboval, rather strongly shining and deep black 

 throughout; head finely, somewhat closely punctate, the sinus 

 moderately wide, rather deeply parabolic, the lobes broadly 

 rounded, the anterior canthus evenly rounded, fully as prominent 

 as the posterior ; prothorax almost four-fifths wider than long, the 

 sides broadly rounded and more converging apically, becoming a 

 little less rounded and almost parallel basally, the apex moderately 

 sinuate, two-thirds as wide as the base, with the bead strong lat- 

 erally, the angles right and moderately rounded; base rather 

 strongly sinuate laterally, broadly lobed ; surface very finely, 

 rather sparsely punctate, subimpunctate along the middle, more 

 strongly but not very closely or coarsely laterally, the bead rather 

 fine, not arcuate at base ; scutellum small ; elytra not quite one- 

 half longer than wide, the sides converging and rounded behind 

 the middle to the acutely ogival apex ; surface with two or three 

 narrow faint ridges on each, rather smooth, rugose posteriorly, 

 somewhat finely but strongly, rather sparsely punctate, more 

 coarsely so toward the apex and a little closer laterally ; proster- 

 num strongly, somewhat closely punctate, the process minutely 

 and sparsely so, very feebly constricted, rounded at tip and mar- 

 gined throughout, the bead occasionally obsolete apically ; hind 

 femora and abdomen minutely, sparsely punctulate, the latter very 

 feebly rugulose. Length 10.0-12.0 mm.; width 4.6-5.75 mm. 

 (9). Siskiyou Co., Albert Koebele shastanica n. sp. 



Body larger than in shastanica, more broadly oblong and rather less 

 convex, dull in lustre, the elytra rather less pronouncedly deep 

 black ; head rather finely, closely and subevenly punctate, the sinus 

 small, very deeply subangulate, the lobes broadly rounded, the 

 anterior canthus rounded but not very broadly, about as prominent 

 as the posterior ; antennae rather thick ; prothorax very transverse, 

 slightly less than twice as wide as long, the sides rounded and 

 converging from base to apex, rather more so anteriorly, sub- 

 parallel toward base, the apex unevenly sinuate, being more trans- 

 verse medially, two-thirds as wide as the base, the latter broadly,
