PLATE 26 Pelecyhonis actnosus Horn Pelecyphorus jaegeri Papp, new species (Plate 27, A-C).— Locality: Quartz Hills, eight miles north of Palmdale, in the Up- per Mojave Desert, Los Angeles County, southern California. — Black. Large, males mm., females mm. Head, pronotum, anterior legs opaque, the rest of the body, especially the strongly elevated elytra are smooth and shiny.—Head finely granu- lated, each granule with very short setae. Vertex flat, squarely impressed; labium widely rounded, anterior margin with dense, blackish-brown short setae. Labial palpi strong, last joint about twice as long as the second, triangularly shaped, smooth, on the exterior margin with short semi-erect setae. Antennae black. — Pronotum (A) slightly wider than the length, anterior margin longer than the posterior, sides more or less sharply rounded, margin heavily crenulated; edges sharp, pointed, in the anterior cornel with one more or less well visible rounded depression. Sur- face in the middle roundly elevated, near posterior end, occasionally also along the middle, with a smoother line; this surface very finely punctulate, occasionally with few heavier punctures. The anterior margin always with short, brownish-golden hairs. — Elytra (B, C) smooth, shiny. Margin rounded and less elevated than any of the longitudinal costae. The surface between the elytral margin 107.
