CERAMBYCnXE 3 1 3 



Body normally elongate but of very small size, dark and obscure red- 

 brown, the cinereous vestiture minute and not dense; antennae 

 dark testaceous, blackish at base; prothorax short, nearly twice 

 as wide as long, not evidently maculate; elytra twice as long as 

 wide, the apical truncatures only feebly oblique, not sinuate but 

 nearly straight and with broadly obtuse external angles; punctures 

 relatively coarse, deep and close-set, the elevated lines obsolete, 

 the black lateral cloud nearly confined to the flanks; fasciculi diffuse, 

 not black and scarcely visible; femora strongly, abruptly clavate. 

 Length (9 ) 4.0 mm.; width 1.4-1.5 mm. Indiana. . . .misellus Lee. 



10 Form slender, the size small, dark testaceous, the minute and dusky- 

 cinereous hairs not very dense and not concealing the elytral punc- 

 tures, which are relatively coarse though scarcely so large as in 

 punctatus and smaller and feebler apically, separated by less than 

 twice their diameters; antennae (9 ) very slender, dusky-testaceous, 

 not maculate, the joints dark at their apices; prothorax short, 

 nearly twice as wide as long, the sides oblique and straight from the 

 spinose tubercle to the distinct apical angles; surface finely, closely 

 punctulate, more strongly along the base, the two small anterior 

 convexities feeble; elytra barely twice as long as wide, convex, the 

 feebly elevated lines finely punctulate and more pubescent but 

 inconspicuous, the penicillations and oblique fasciae not very strongly 

 defined; apices obliquely and very narrowly truncate, with only a 

 trace of sinuation; two anterior femora short, distinctly though very 

 moderately clavate, the posterior longer, thin, with only a feeble 

 distal inflation, the legs nearly deep black throughout. Length 

 (9 ) 4.4 mm.; width 1.6 mm. Pennsylvania timidus n. sp. 



Form more elongate and more depressed, piceous-black in color through- 

 out, the legs black; head with an unusually deep interantennal 

 indentation; antennae blackish, extremely slender, three-fourths 

 longer than the body; prothorax unusually short when compared 

 with the elytra, twice as wide as long, the sides moderately oblique 

 and straight from the acutely prominent denticle to the obtusely 

 prominent apical angles, densely and finely sculptured, with very 

 obscure maculation and dusky pubescence; elytra rather more 

 than twice as long as wide, slightly wider at three-fifths than at 

 base, rounding behind at the sides to the oblique apical truncatures, 

 which are barely at all sinuate, the angles obtuse; surface with moder- 

 ate and not very close punctures, partially concealed by the dark 

 fuscous vestiture, which is flecked, especially toward apex, with 

 small spots of cinereous, generally in linear arrangement, the lines 

 and fasciculi indistinct, the oblique fasciae feebly marked except 

 by their cinereous anterior margin; under surface deep black, cinereo- 

 pubescent, the legs shining, the two anterior femora feebly clavate, 

 the posterior gradually very feebly enlarged distally, not distinctly 

 clavate; fifth ventral not quite twice as long as the fourth, with a 

 distinct, broadly angulate emargination. Length (9) 4-7 mm.; 

 width 1.65 mm. New York (Bluff Point, Lake Champlain).
