about 2.39 inches in length, and .16 inch across the aperture. Some fragments, 
in the collection of other individuals, appear to have been at least one third 
larger than the specimen from which the above measurements were taken. 
This species is closely allied to B. ezcentricus , Blv., and B. panderianus 
D'Orbigny, of the lower oolite, but appears to be distinct from both. 
Locality and position. Southwest base Black Hills. Also east side of same ; 
near Bear Peak. Bed A of the section. 
We are under many obligations to Prof. Henry for tlie use of rooms and 
books, and also for other facilities at the Smithsonian Institution, while making

Description of New Species of Coleoptera, chiefly collected by the United States 
and Mexican Boundary Commission, under Major W. H. Emory, U. S. A. 
BY JOHN L. LE CONTE, M. D. 
Galerita Fabr. 
G. atripes, nigra, capite punctato postice oblique rotundato, thorace elon- 
gato, rugose punctulato rufo, lateribus postice late sinuatis, ad basin utrinque 
impresso, elytris elongatis oblongo-ovalibus, confertissime rugose punctulatis, 
asqualiter pubescentibus, striis punctulatis. Long. -67. 
One specimen in Dr. Berlandiere's Collection, probably found on the Rio 
Grande : many others have been recently collected by Dr. W. A. Hammond, at 
Fort Riley, in Kansas. This species has the form, size and sculpture of G. 
Lecontei, and G. californica, but differs by the uniform pubescence of 
the elytra, the less sinuate sides of the thorax, and still more by the black 
antennae and feet. 
/ Calleida Dej. 
C. planulata, nigro-picea, supra cuprascens, thorace latitudine longiore, 
parum convexo, canaliculato, lateribus rotundatis, ante medium magis angus- 
tato, pone medium parum angustato, utrinque ad basin profunda late foveato ; 
elytris interstitiis paulo convexis parce punctulatis, margine virescente ante 
medium subimpresso, antennis articulis tribus primis ferrugineis. Long. '48. 
One specimen from Dr. Berlandiere's Collection. The base of the thorax is 
broadly subsinuate, and only slightly oblique towards the angles, which thus 
become almost rectangular, although the sides of the thorax are not sinuate. 
C. cyanoptera, rufa, capite nigro-cyan eo, thorace latitudine fere sesqui 
longiore, minus convexo canaliculato, lateribus late rotundatis, pone medium 
paulo angustato, et lateribus subsinuato, utrinque profunde impresso ; elytris 
lagte cyaneis, tenuissime punctulato-striatis ; abdomine genubusque nigris, 
antennis extrorsum nigro-piceis. Long. '32 — '38. 
Also from Dr. Berlandiere's Collection. Larger than C. decora ; the thorax 
is less convex, more broadly rounded on the sides anteriorly, and less narrowed 
and sinuate hehind the middle. The posterior angles are hardly prominent, 
and owing to the obliquity of the base are very obtuse. 
Stenomorphus Dej. 
S. rufipes, valde elongatus, niger nitidus, thorace latitudine sesqui lon- 
giore, postice sensim angustato, angulis posticis rotundatis, ad basin utrinque 
breviter et profunde impresso, elytris profunde striatis, antennis palpis pedi- 
busque obscure ferrugineis. Long. '42. 
Dr. Berlandiere's Collection.

H. 1 a e s u s, ovalis supra aeneus, thorace latitudine fere duplo breviore, 
lateribus rotundatis, magis versus apicem, postice subangustato et utrinque 
vix impresso, angulis posticis obtusis, fortius marginato, margine diaphano ;
