flavis ; abdomine flavo, nigro annulato ; femorum basi tibiis tarsis antennisque ferrugineis, 
femoribus posticis modice elongatis. Long. *65. 
One specimen, San Francisco, Mr. Child. Similar to C. capraea, but, besides slight differences 
in the form of the basal yellow ring-like mark, the two posterior fasciae are connected by a 
yellow sutural line. 
Ulochaetes Lee. 
Caput deflexum, fronte quadrato perpendiculari, pone oculos subito at parum constrictum ; 
oculi emarginati; antennae inter oculos pone medium insertae ; palpi breves articulis turbinatis 
subaequalibus ; antennae corporis dimidio aequales, articulis 3io et 4to conjunctis 5to aequali- 
bus. Thorax transversus lateribus et dorso acute tuberculatus, densissime pilosus. Elytra 
abbreviata, scabra ad apicem subacute rotundata, humeris valde elevatis. Tarsi posteriores 
articulo lmo sequentibus conjunctis aequali. Alae abdomine longiores rectae. 
This genus contains but one very remarkable species allied to Necydalis. It differs, however, 
by its much less elongate form, by its less constricted neck, and also by the different propor¬ 
tions of the joints of the antennae ; the elytra diverge posteriorly, showing a tendency to a 
subulate form.

griseo-piloso, antice valde transversim impresso, postice paulo constricto, elytris opacis ad apicem 
late testaceis ; tibiis testaceis apice nigris; antennis basi obscure testaceis, alis fuliginosis.

One specimen, found at Prairie Paso by Dr. Cooper. The scutel is smooth and shining, with 
the sides hairy; the pectus is thinly clothed with grayish hairs. 
Acmaeops Lee.

Oregon. From its large size and stout form this insect resembles in appearance a small 
Prionus, and was, therefore, placed by me as a separate genus; on a careful reconsideration, I 
could find no characters of importance by which to retain it as distinct from Acmaeops. 
A. fusca, pubescens, fusca, capite confertim punctato, canaliculate, thorace confirtim punctate, 
latitudine vix breviore, antrorsum angustato et ibi lateribus rotundato, ad apicem vix constricto 
fortius marginato, linea dorsali postica laevi; elytris sat dense versus basin paulo fortius ad 
apicem subtilius punctatis, parallels postice obtusis. Long. 5. 
Sacramento, Mr. Wittick. Allied to A. californicus Lee., but is larger and stouter, with 
the thorax less rounded on the sides, which are parallel behind the middle; the thorax is also 
more strongly margined and less constricted at the apex; the punctures of the elytra towards 
the base are smaller and more dense than in that species, and the humeri are less prominent.
