closely, and irregularly, transversely strigose, the intervals be- 
tween the ridges punctate and clothed with short, erect, incon- 
spicuous hairs. Scutellum transversely carinate, the carina 
broadly interrupted at middle. Elytra slightly sinuate behind 
the humeri, with a feeble postmedian dilatation, then strongly 
narrowed to apices, sides of abdomen exposed; apices extending 
into a long acute spine, which is on a line with the middle of 
the elytron, outer edge of the elytron before the spine scarcely 
serrulate, inner edge of spine concave, with a few small sharp 
‘teeth near the end of suture; disk moderately convex, without 
distinct costze, the sutural edge feebly elevated near the apex; 
humeri moderate, not carinate; basal depressions well marked; 
surface subopaque, finely and densely, imbricately granulate, 
rather densely clothed with short, inconspicuous, recumbent 
hairs, which do not conceal the surface sculpture. Body beneath 
aéneous, with a cupreous tinge toward the lateral margins; pro- 
sternum roughly scabrous and sparsely, finely pubescent; pro- 
sternal lobe broadly rounded, feebly arcuately and broadly 
emarginate at middle; intercoxal process broad, the sides parallel, 
very abruptly narrowed at apex, which is rather obtuse; pro- 
pleura slightly strigose and very little pubescent; metasternum 
coarsely punctate-strigose, the sides densely punctate and rather 
densely pubescent. Abdomen rather sparsely, coarsely punctate 
and somewhat strigose along the median line, with very finely and 
densely punctured areas, midway between the sides and middle, 
sparsely pubescent; first ventral segment convex, not impressed 
nor pubescent; last ventral obtusely rounded at tip; vertical 
portions of the segments not conspicuously pubescent, the first 
rather strongly granulate, pygidium punctate, carinate, the 
carina projecting and truncate at tip. Hind tarsi four-sevenths 
as long as the tibie, first joint longer than the four following 
joints united; tibiee not mucronate; claws divaricate, cleft at 
the middle, the lower portion not inverted. 
Length, 10.5 millimeters; width, 2.6.

Agrilus piperi sp. nov. 
Male.—Form short, rather robust, entirely bright blue, with 
a wide transverse band of sparsely placed, silvery white, re- 
cumbent hairs at tip of elytra. 
Antenne short, not quite reaching to middle of pronotum, ser-
