MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND DESCRIPTIONS (COLEOPTERA)

Extract

In my Southern California List (Cal. Acad. Sci. 1901) a specimen of Agyrtes taken by myself at Pomona was deferred to longulus Lec., our only known species of the genus. Some years later a second example was taken at Pasadena, and more recently specimens from Washington and Vancouver have come to hand. These last agree with LeConte's type from near San Francisco, but the Southern California specimens show certain differences which seem to warrant their being set apart from longulus either as a subspecies or, as I prefer to call them, a distinct species for which I propose the above name.
