CERAMBYCID^E 371 



rather longer than wide (cf 1 ), with feebly arcuate sides, strongly, 

 closely punctate: elytra very elongate, feebly swollen and only very 

 near the apex, flattened inside the unusually prominent external 

 discal lines, the punctures only moderately coarse, subquadrate, 

 close-set in series, much confused posteriorly and becoming notably 

 smaller apically, the truncatures very oblique and deeply sinuate, 

 the outer tooth unusually acute and prolonged; legs slender, black; 

 punctures toward the sides of the abdomen close-set and unusually 

 strong, becoming very coarse basally; last dorsal segment (cf) 

 with the carinae distant and unusually feebly elevated but with finely 

 acute summits. Length (cf) 10.3 mm.: width 1.6 mm. North 



Carolina (Southern Pines), Manee dolosa n. sp. 



15 Body stouter than usual, the elytra flattened above, pale ferruginous 

 in color and sexually similar, the elytra, excepting the epipleura 

 faintly pale at base. the entire antennae, the tarsi and tibial apices, 

 deep black; pubescence ashy, distinct on the elytra, giving a pru- 

 inose effect; head evenly convex, strongly, rather closely punctate; 

 antennae much shorter than the body in both sexes; prothorax swollen 

 at the sides behind the middle, nearly as long as wide (cf ) or dis- 

 tinctly transverse (9 ), coarsely and closely punctate, without black 

 maculation except on the two callous spots; scutellum pale, truncate; 

 elytra slightly wider than the prothorax, feebly swollen posteriorly, 

 having series of very coarse and moderately close-set subquadrate 

 punctures, evidently confused and less coarse apically; pygidium ( 9 ) 

 only very moderately and subevenly convex; last dorsal (cf ) with 

 the carinae moderate, somewhat converging basally; legs short but, 

 as usual, with the hind tarsi shorter than the tibiae. Length (cf 9 ) 



13.5-14.0 mm.; width 2.8-3.0 mm. Texas ocellata Hald. 



A Similar to the preceding in coloration, sculpture and vestiture, 

 except that the head and pronotum both have a large discal area 

 black, that on the latter involving both callous spots but not 

 attaining the flanks or base, the punctures decidedly less coarse 

 and not so close-set; hind body not so elongate, the elytral punc- 

 tures not quite so coarse and more elongate in form. Length 

 (cf 9 ) 9.8-13.5 mm.; width 1.8-2.8 mm. North Carolina 



(Southern Pines), Manee plagiata n. subsp. 



16 Form somewhat as in ocellata but still larger and stouter and with 

 the cinereous vestiture of the elytra denser, giving a strongly pruinose 

 effect; coloration throughout as in ocellata, excepting that the elytral 

 flanks and epipleura basally are more distinctly pale and the entire 

 tibiae, as well as the femoral apices, black; head coarsely, densely 

 punctate; antennae filiform, long, about as long as the body (cf 1 ) to 

 but little shorter ( 9 ) ; prothorax slightly transverse in both sexes, 

 the sides subprominently swollen behind the middle, the punctures 

 coarse, subconfluent, wanting in flattened tumid vacant spaces repre- 

 senting four callous spots; scutellum pale, transverse, truncate, 

 densely pubescent; elytra flat above, unusually expanding toward 

 base and dilated apically, the apices obliquely truncate but not 

 bidenticulate; punctures impressed, relatively much less coarse and 

 more widely separated than usual, rather fine and confused apically;
