macrocera Casey, 1913, Mem. on the Coleop,, vol. IV, p. 
270. 
Length 9 to 16 mm. This species occurs under the name L. biforis 
Newm. in collections. The stouter form of matthewsii Lee., the position of 
the black maculation, on the basal half of the elytra in biforis and on the 
apical half in matthewsii , in addition to the characters given in the key, 
will easily separate the species. The prothorax and antennae are black in 
the females and reddish in the males. One male has the antennae about 
twice the length of some of the others, an example, apparently, of the 
variation in antennal length in the same species. The male has the last 
ventral segment rounded or feebly emarginate, the last dorsal carinate. 
The first segment of the hind tarsi is densely pubescent beneath. 
The type of macrocera Csy. is a male of matthewsii Lee. with rather 
coarse pronotal punctures; the 2nd specimen is a typical female of math- 
evjsii . 
Thirteen specimens were examined from British Columbia, Oregon, 
and the coast region of California. 
Type locality: Vancouver island. 
(5) Anoplodera grossa Lee., 1874, S.M.C., vol. XI, No. 264, p. 225. 
Length 13 to 17 mm. Generally found in the high Sierras of central 
California (Tulare and Fresno counties) at an elevation of 6,000 to 9,000 
feet. 
This species is entirely black; it is readily distinguished by the char- 
acters given in the key. The male has the last ventral rounded. The 
first segment of the hind tarsus is densely pubescent beneath. The type 
Is a female. 
Nine specimens have been examined, all from California. 
Type locality: California. 
(6) Anoplodera quadrata Lee., 1874, Smith. Misc. Coll., No. 264, p. 225. 
Length 9 mm. ; the pronotum has the sides parallel on the basal two- 
thirds and the punctures very dense; the scutellum narrowly triangular 
and the elytra very broadly rounded, almost subtruncate, at the apex. 
The colour is dark brown, with median and postmedian lateral spots and 
the humeral margin on the elytra yellow, and the antennae, legs, and the 
apex of the abdomen reddish. ' 
Two specimens have been studied, the type and one in the U.S. Nation- 
al Museum, from Colorado. 
Type locality: Saskatchewan. 
(7) Anoplodera knulli n. sp. 
Length 9 mm.; a female, black, abdomen yellow, antennse and legs 
reddish; pronotum as long as wide, the sides somewhat inflated in front 
of the middle, the hind angles acute, slightly wider than the inflation, the 
disk convex, the punctation close, the interstices usually narrower than 
the punctures, the pubescence rather long and erect, the basal impression 
deep on the sides of the disk and not continued across the dorsum, but 
interrupted by an extension of the disk, which bears a distinct median 
carina; the elytra subparallel, with apical half narrowed behind, the 
apices broadly, evenly rounded, rather sparsely punctate and shining, the
