It has been found from middle California northward to British Col- 
umbia. 
Forty-five specimens were examined from California, Oregon, Wash- 
ington, and British Columbia. 
Host plant: Pinus ponder osa (Hopping). 
Type locality: Steilacoom, Washington.

p. 250. 
Length 8 to 9 mm. The original description of the species is quoted 
in full: 
“Entirely black, head and prothorax dull from the density of the punctation, elytra 
shining;. Pubescence fine, fuscous, very short and inconspicuous on the elytra, longer 
and erect on the prothorax. Head elongated anteriorly, tempora moderate, a little oblique. 
Antennse slender, filiform, and cylindrical, as long as the body ( <?), fourth joint three- 
fourths as long as the third, the latter subequal to the fifth, eleventh not appendiculate. 
Prothorax subparallel in basal two-thirds, thence narrowed to the apical constriction; 
base broadly bisinuate, margined, but not constricted or impressed; hind angles small, 
acute, abruptly produced, surface very densely punctate, a short, smooth, impunctate 
line behind the middle. Elytra nearly twice as wide as the basal width of the thorax 
(exclusive of the angles), strongly narrowed posteriorly, the tips rounded and dehiscent: 
disk strongly convex at base, the entire surface with not very coarse, sharply impressed 
punctures, which are distant from one to two times their own diameters. Beneath with 
rather longer greyish pubescence. Length 8 to 9 mm. 
Type locality, Fieldbrook, Humboldt county, Calif. 
The type is a male collected at Fieldbrook, Humboldt county, California, by Mr. H. 
S. Barber. With it I have associated examples taken on the Kern river (elevation 6,000 
feet) by Mr. Dagget, and in western Nevada by Prof. Baker. 
The fifth ventral segment is nearly similarly narrowly truncate in both sexes, the 
female differing from the male only in the shorter antennse and more robust form. 
Barberi should probably enter the first group (Leng’s Aa) of the genus, but differs 
from anything therem by the relatively narrow prothorax, resembling certain Acmaeops 
in this respect.” 
Examples of this species are usually entirely black, although Mr. 
Hopping has one, taken at an elevation of between 6,000 to 7,000 feet in 
Sierra Nevada mountains, that has one yellow antemedian spot on each 
elytron. 
Six specimens examined from Tulare, Fresno, and Plumas counties, 
California. 
Type locality: Humboldt county, California.

Length 9 to 12 mm. The maculation of the elytra of this species 
seems to be fairly constant, with the apices black, a large black spot just 
behind the middle and a smaller basal one, sometimes evanescent, near 
the lateral margin. The first segment of the hind tarsus is densely hairy. 
In the female the last dorsal and ventral segments are broadly emarginate; 
in the male the last ventral is elevated broadly at the middle and deeply 
excavated on the apical half. L. longior Csy. is a strongly cuneate male 
with long antennae.
