‘I cannot refer any of the specimens before me with certainty to either U. subvirens © 
or U. fastidiosa. The author does not mention in any of his diagnoses the short ninth 
row of punctures on each elytron; it is therefore uncertain in which of my subsections 
of Section A these species ought to be placed.

America.
