BY JOHN L. LECONTE, IYI, D
The species described in the présent memoir hâve ail been previously made known by me in American publications cited below ; nevertheless, being mostly remarkable for their strange forms or singular affmities, I hâve thought that a more close knowledge of lhem would be of interest to the entomologists of Europe.
I hâve therefore, with great pleasure, availed myself of the liberal offer of my friend, Mr. J. Thomson, to publish them by means of the very favonrable opportunity afïorded in the présent splendid work. The plates being published at intervals, and the text prepared at a great distance from the place of publication, it will be impossible for me to place the groups of insects represented in a natural order ; but in each part of the memoir, the species contained in it will be arranged in accordance with the System usually adopted by entomologists. For this reason, I will place first :
PLASTOCERUS, Lee.
1. P. Schaumii, piceo-castaneus, helvo-pubescens, capite thoraeeque pilis longioribus erectis densius vestitis, Mo scabro, hoc antrorsum angustato, lateribus sinuatis, angulis posticis elongatis divergentibus, dense punctalo ; elytris striis nage impressis, interstitiis subrugosis ; pectore longius cinereo-pubescente.
Long. 14 mill. — Tab. XIII, fig. 1.
Leconte, Trans. Am. Phil. Soc., X, 502. San Diego, California; flying just before sunset, near the shore of the bay, in May and June. The female differs from the male by the pectination of the antennæ being very short, so that those organs become scarcely more than serrate ; the elytra also are more flattened and slightly déhiscent.
The genus Plastocerus belongs to the tribe Campylini of Elateridœ, and forms with Aphricus, Aplastus and Euthgsanius, Lee., a small group distinguished by the labrum being indistinct. These four généra are ail found in California, and thus far Plastocerus alone is represented in any other part of the world. The general appearance of these four généra is very different ; Aphricus, with the front margined and the mandibles slender and prominent, the antennæ moderately serrate, has the form of
body of Cardiophorus; Aplastus resombles entirely a slender Corymbites, and has long, serrale 11-jointed antennæ; Plastocerus has the antennæ 11-jointed and strongly pectinate, and the female not very different in form from the male; Euthysanius has the antennæ 12-jointed, but otherwise is similar in form to Plastocerus ; but the female has a very long abdomen, no wings, and short elytra obliquely truncated at the tip, only covering the base of the abdomen; the antennæ are 12-jointed and only serrate in that sex.
SCHIZOPUS, Lee.
Antennæ, ll-articulatœ, articulis 5 — 10 latioribus triangularibus , 11 mo ovato; clypeus minutas in fronte emarginata receptus, labrum majusculum antice subemarginatum, mandibulæ ernarginatæ. Mentum trapezoideum transversum (ligula brevis, transversa, coriacea, palpis deficientibus); palpi maxillares brèves cylindrici, articulis subœqualibus ; oculi médiocres ovales. Coxœ anticœ magnæ transversæ, conicæ, trochantino nullo ; mediœ eis approximatif majusculæ distantes; tarsi tibiis breviores, articulis 1 — 3 subtus breviter, 4 to autem longe bilobatis , ultimo prœcedentes très longitudine œquante, unguibus ad apicem fissis. Abdomen articulis duobus primis arcte connatis, 5 to emarginato, 6 to prominulo valdee marginato, 'Imo minuto parum conspicuo.
A remarkable genus, winch by its form and color recalls certain Gallerucites of the family Chrysomelidæ, while the structure of the abdomen is equally suggestive of Psephenus. The head is small ; the thorax is gradually narrowed in front, closely applied to the elytra, and slightly sinuate at base. The scutel is trilobed, with the middle lobe produced into a point. The elytra are wider than the thorax, oblong, rounded at the tip, coarsely but densely punctured. The legs are moderate ; the anterior tibiæ are terminated by very short spurs, but I can see none on the middle or posterior tibiæ. The anterior coxæ are large, leaving only a very short prosternum, which extends between them, and abuts against the declivous mesosternum; the metasternum is short and fiat, forming an angle with the mesosternum, which widely séparâtes the middle coxæ; the episterna of the metathorax are fiat, broad, and project in front ; the posterior coxæ are suddenly dilated internally, truncate at tip, with the inner margin oblique; their anterior niargin is curved, with the concavity forwards, and the mesosternum is sculptured with a line parallel to this margin. The joints of the abdomen are nearly equal in length-, the first and second are connate; the third and fifth are a little shorter than the fourth ; the sixth is deeply emarginate, very small, and is visible only within the emargination of the fifth. The epipleuræ are obsolète behind.
It will appear from the assemblage of characters detailed, that this genus will be properly enrolled as a new family, Schizopodidœ, to be placed between Dascyllidœ and Cyplionidæ, completing the line of affinities manifested by the Parnidœ, through Psephenus, a genus of the Atlantic States, with the serricorn type of Coleoptera in the two families named above.

Atelestus basalis, Lee., Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, VI, 168. San Diego, California ; under seaweed. The red margin of the base of the elytra extends along the side almost to the middle.
This genus, while agreeing with Atelestus in the absence of wings and the shortness of the elytra, differs essentially in the anterior tarsi of the male, the second point of which is obliquely prolonged above as far as the end of the third joint, precisely as in many species of Anthocomus : the epistoma is membranous and quite distinct, while in Atelestus it is described as indistinct. These two characters are sufficient to warrant the Californian species being considered as a distinct genus.
To this genus also belong Atelestus abdominalis and collaris, Lee., loc. cit. , also from the sea coast of California ; in the first, the head and thorax are red; in the latter, the thorax alone.

ïhis genus is placed by Lacordaire near the Adelostomites, forming a distinct tribe. It is, in fact, a very abnormal form and differs from ail the other généra of Tenebrionidœ as at présent limited, with one exception, by the anterior cotyloid cavities being confluent. The exception is the genus Cononotus, Lee., which is allied to Apocrypha, Esch.

The males of this genus hâve the anterior thighs much thickened, the anterior tibiæ curved and denticulate internally, and the posterior thighs toothed; in this species, the anterior tibiæ are besides deeply sulcate externally, and the posterior thighs irregularly serrate beneath.
The genus is confined to Southern California and Arizona, from which one species Ç. bicolor extends into upper Texas. It is placed by Lacordaire in the tribe Scaurides, near Centrioptera, Mann., from which it differs by many characters, but more particularly by the small size of the mentum.

Leconte, Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, VI, 445. Texas. Allied to this species is P. difformis, Lee. (loc. cit. , VII, 223) ; the latter, however, differs by the narrower form and strongly striate elytra; it is found in Arizona.
The two species above mentioned serve to illustrate, in a small degree, the varied form of the Pelecyphori of North America. Lacordaire has separated them as a distinct genus, Philolithus, which does not appear to me capable of being retained. The only différence between it and Pelecyphorus, is that the external terminal angle of the anterior tibiæ is distinct in the latter and slightly prolonged, while in the former it is rounded. Now I do not find an exact correspondence between our species in this respect. P. elatus, for instance, has the angle distinct but rounded, while in P. carinatüs it is much less prominent. In P. hirsutus, rimatus and some others, it is quite as acute as in A sida or Euschides. For this reason, I hâve not adopted the genus proposed by my learned friend, who States with a proper caution, that the généra of this portion of the tribe Asidites are very indefinite and separated by very feeble characters. The only character of moment which I find to separatc Asida
opaca, Say (considered by Lacordaire as a genuine Asida) from the other species, placed by me in Pelecyphorus, is the distinct fissure each side of the gula, permitting the base of the maxillæ to be seen ; and it was for this reason that I placed A. opaca in Euschidcs, which differs only by the posterior angles of the thorax not being distinct; a character certainly not of generic value; and a slight différence in the form of the mentum.
AMPHIDORA, Esch.

This genus belongs properly to the family Anthicidœ, the eyes being entire. I regret that, by a misconception of my observation [Proc. Acad., VII, 277) regarding a supposed species of Xylophilus, X. (?) basalis, Lee., which lias the eleventh joint of the antennæ elongated as in Tanarthrus, Lacordaire should hâve considered that I meant to apply the expression « but the eyes are deeply emarginate, as in the other species of Xylophilus » to Tanarthrus. It was intended to show that the species under considération X. (?) basalis, although possessing the antennæ of Tanarthrus did not belong to that genus, nor even to the same family, but was, in essential characters, a Xylophilus. The genus Tanarthrus, in fact, finds its place in the family Anthicidœ, and in Lacordaire’s synoptic table ( Gen . Col., Y, 591), would enter immediately after Anthicus, from which it differs by the last joint of the antennæ being elongated and almost divided into two, and by the penultimate joint of the tarsi not being bilobed.

Wislizeni, Lee., has the elytra globose, of a beautiful blue color, cancellate with large punctures and the thorax pentagonal ; it is found in Ari-
zona and New Mexico, and is figured by me in Smithsonian contributions, XI, in a memoir on the Coleoptera of Kansas and New Mexico.
I formerly included in this genus Meloe cancellatus, Br. and Er., and C. vittatus, Lee. [Proc. Acad., VI, 330), which differ by the elytra being mueh shorter than the abdomen and diverging, though not imbricate as in Meloe. The ungues are armed with a tooth as in Cysteodemus. I now, however, fully agréé with the opinion ofLacordaire [Gen. Col., V, 660), that they should form a new genus, for which I propose the name Megetra.

19. S. solitaria, Lee. (Cerambyx solitarius, Say) varies in having the head, thorax and anterior part of the elytra reddish brown ; it differs from both species above mentioned by the latéral tubercle of the thorax being more acute and the anterior tubercle more prominent, as well as by its black color.

The latéral angle of the thorax is sometimes distinct, sometimes indistinct, never acutely prominent as in A. erythropus. This species belongs to a group in which the anterior feet are widely separated, the prosternum broadly and slightly produced posteriorly, and the mesosternum sucldenly declivous in front, thus exhibiting a tendency to Megaderus, which with the Trachyderides should immediately follow this group in a natural arrangement.

I hâve extended Arhopalus, Serv., to include ail those species usually classed with Clytus, but which differ from tliat genus by having the head not deflexed, the front short and oblique, not large and perpendicular as in Clytus, the legs moderate in length and the thighs never clavate nor spinous at the tip. In fact, they approach, in many characters Elaphidion, but differ by the eyes being finely granulate. The authors of the British Muséum catalogue hâve not adopted this view, which was expressed by me in the Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, 2nd ser., II, 16, and I now avail myself of the opportunity of placing it before the entomologists of Europe for adoption or condemnation.
