advanced and more rounded though similarly wide; prothorax nearly 

 as in the preceding but more transverse and more convex and opaque 

 in both sexes, much less depressed in the male; elytra much shorter 

 and broader, more rounded at the sides, broader and more convex 

 in the female, the lateral margins still more broadly concave and 

 obscurely violaceous; hind tarsi (cf ) very long, much longer than the 

 tibiae, which are without brush of hair, or ( 9 ) shorter and thicker, 

 not quite as long as the tibiae. Length (cf ) 28.0-29.0, ( 9 ) 28.0-30.5 

 mm.; width (cf) 11.0-11.4, (9) 11.7-12.5 mm. North Carolina 



(Southern Pines), Manee crassus n. sp. 



II Body broad and stout in outline 12 



Body much narrower and more elongate 15 



12 Sides of the prothorax moderately converging and feebly sinuate 



toward base, the angles acute and subabruptly slightly prominent 



(cf), or more obtuse and distinctly blunt (9). Body broad, very 



moderately convex (cf), or much more distinctly so (9), rather 



shining, deep black, smooth, with moderately wide blue lateral 



margins; head with distinct impressions, the labrum trilobed, the 



median lobe rather short and broad; mandibles smooth (cf) or 



partially strigose ( 9 ) ; prothorax transverse, two-thirds wider than 



long, evidently narrower at base than at apex, the sides rather 



strongly rounded, moderately converging basally, the median pair 



of subbasal impressions distinct, the outer nearly obsolete, the stria 



fine, the marginal bead attaining the base; elytra two-fifths longer 



than wide, rounded broadly at the sides, gradually obliquely narrowed 



behind to the rather acute apex, the surface perfectly smooth, without 



trace of punctures, rather abruptly declivous at the sides to the 



moderately wide margins; posterior tarsi (cf ) very long and slender, 



much longer than the tibiae which are without internal brush of hairs, 



or (9) shorter though slender and about as long as the tibiae. 



Length 25.0-28.0 mm.; width 10.8-11.2 mm. Atlantic regions. 



[complanatus Gmel., lavis Lee.] Rather common. . . depressus Fabr. 



A Similar to depressus but a little narrower, having a similar blue 



lateral margin, the median lobe of the labrum more abruptly 



smooth at apex and more evidently bilobate, the mandibles 



smooth in both sexes or never with more than a few feeble stri- 



ations near the tooth and then only visible in the female; prothorax 



evidently less transverse, the basal angles sharp and slightly 



everted in both sexes; posterior tarsi (cf ) stouter, evidently longer 



than the tibiae, or ( 9 ) much shorter and more slender, very much 



shorter than the tibiae. Length 27.5 mm.; width 10.8-11.0 mm. 



North Carolina (locality unrecorded). [P. limb. Zimm. Bull. 



Buf. Soc. Nat. Hist., 1874, p. 271] limbatus Zimm. 



B Similar to depressus but a little larger and notably stouter; head 

 similarly rather large, the median lobe of the labrum short and 

 rather broad, the mandibles feebly and partially striate in both 

 sexes; prothorax similar but more transverse, about three-fourths 

 wider than long, the basal angles right and rather sharp in both 

 sexes; elytra similar but a little more convex and not complet
