Abstract
In sorting the vast amount of insect material extracted from the asphaltum of Rancho La Brea, Hancock Park, Los Angeles, the most exciting material so far segregated is a series of fragments of five or six species of Scarabaeidae, or dung beetles, belonging to the genera Canthon, Copris, and Onthophagus, and one which must be separated as a new genus between Copris and Phanaeus.
