Papers Calif. Acad. Sci., 22,1953, p. 12-13. Form and size of Cychrus stenostomus, apterous, smooth and very shining. Head black, impunctate, mandibles piceous, labrum and palpi ferruginous. Antennae ferrugineus, slightly darker out- ward, finely rufo-pubescent from the fifth joint, reaching the elytra to one-fourth the length from the base. Thorax black, aeneous at the base, entirely impunctate, slightly wider than long, sub- cordate, somewhat wider at apex than at base; disk feebly con- vex, not depressed at the sides; median line distinctly impressed; basal fovae rounded, deep, approximate to the sides; base trun- cate; posterior angles prolonged and deflexed. Elytra at the base slightly wider than the thorax at middle, ovate, one-half longer than broad, dark cupreous green; humeri rounded; disk slightly convex, feebly (at sides and apex obsoletely) punctato-striate; intervals nearly flat, smooth; the third, seventh and eleventh with feebly convex, elongate elevations, separated by rounded very- shallow fovae, each fovae with a couple of punctures. Epipleura and ventral surface reddish brown, smooth. Legs ferruginous; tibiae sparsely and finely spinose, the intermediate ones strongly arcuate (male), expanded at apex, pubescent beneath and pro- longed into a spine as long as the spurs; anterior tarsi (male) with the first three joints strongly dilated and densely spongy 173.
