Feb., '05] ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. 35 costo-apical part of the wing. Secondaries : entirely seal-brown, with Jong hairs along the inner margin and basal part of wing. Underside of both wings entirely Van Dyke brown ; the three costo-apical white spots visible through the wing. Abdomen and thorax same color as adjacent parts of the wings. Palpi clothed with long hairs. Antennae entirely of same color as the primaries on the upperside. Habitat : Mt. Tamalpais, Marin Co. , California. Collected by Mr. F. X. Williams, May 19, 1904, in Mill Valley, on the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais. Only a few were captured but others were seen ; the species is no doubt extremely local in distri-bution. Type i , to be deposited in the collection of the Cali-fornia Academy of Sciences. This species is very distinct from any other by its small size, and very dark, almost uniform color. Owing to a curious asymmetry in the clasps of the single male I possess, the de-scription of these organs will have to be deferred till more spe-cimens are available. < Canadian Cerambycidae.
