372 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



joint nearly twice as long as wide and almost half as long as the third,, 

 which is a little longer than the fourth but very much shorter than the 

 fifth, the outer joints still long and slender; prothorax as in the preceding 

 though not uniformly and strongly puncto-reticulate, but more finely,, 

 densely puncto-rugulose medially, rather more elongate; scutellum 

 shorter and broader; elytra shorter, but little wider than the prothorax 

 and rather less than twice as long, the suturally ascending white streak 

 from near basal third nearly similar, but with the white fascia behind 

 the middle straight and only feebly, anteriorly oblique from near the 

 sides to near the suture and composed of separated white hairs, the apices 

 similarly obliquely truncate and loosely cinereo-pubescent, the sutural 

 angle broadly rounded, the external prominent; legs stouter but even 

 longer, the minute femoral punctures mingled with others less minute. 

 Length (cf ) 8.4 mm.; width 2.2 mm. Pennsylvania (Lemoyne), H. B. 

 Kirk. Bred from grape. 



This species is notably different from gracilicornis in its longer 

 and stouter antennae and legs, very black coloration, rugulose 

 median sculpture of the pronotum and in having the post-median 

 white fascia of the elytra less oblique and not evenly arcuate but 

 straight. 



Clytus Laich. 



Assuming as types of this genus the American marginicollis and 

 planifrons, the body is stouter, more convex and more cylindric 

 than in Clytanthus, the middle legs unmodified in the male and the 

 met-episterna a little wider; the front, antennae and very approxi- 

 mate anterior coxae are almost similar. Besides planifrons Lee., 

 and marginicollis Lap. -Gory, we have a third, rather closely allied 

 to marginicollis definable as follows : 



Clytus carolinensis n. sp. Form and ornamentation as in marginicollis 

 but black throughout above, except the extreme basal margin of the elytra, 

 which is pale; legs and antennae pale testaceous, the latter gradually black- 

 ish distally; head and pronotum clothed sparsely with long and very 

 fine, perfectly erect hairs, the elytra with short hairs, longer and bristling 

 basally at the sides; head strongly, closely punctate before, more opaque 

 and more coarsely, very shallowly reticulate behind, the line of the an- 

 tennae, the latter short, incrassate distally, more widely separated than 

 in marginicollis but otherwise nearly similar; prothorax throughout 

 nearly as in that species, the dense sculpture rather shallower; scutellum 

 and elytra nearly similar throughout; under surface and legs nearly 

 similar but with the scattered hairs longer and more bristling. Length 

 9.8 mm.; width 2.8 mm. North Carolina (Southern Pines), Manee. 



Differs from marginicollis in its blacker elytra, pale only at the 

 basal margin, in the shallowly reticulate and not deeply punctate
