spot each side of thorax, a large saddle-shaped one behind the middle of 

 elytra, some small spots near the scutellum, a ring around the hind femora 

 and three rows of small spots on the abdomen. Beak half as long as body, 

 opaque, feebly curved, rather sparsely punctured. Thorax wider than long, 

 sides parallel from base to beyond middle, then rounded and obliquely nar- 

 rowed to tip; disc strongly convex at middle, densely and rather coarsely 

 punctured. Elytra at base one-half wider than thorax; striae composed 

 of very coarse and deep punctures; third interval with three elevated crests, 

 the median one much the larger, with a broad bare, coarsely punctured im- 

 pression between it and the base; the other alternate intervals finely cari- 

 nate. Under surface densely punctured. Length 4 mm. 



Eustis, Fla., April 6; one specimen beaten from pine. De- 

 scribed from a single specimen taken in Texas by Belfrage. Re- 

 corded also from Rock's Resaca, Texas, by Townsend. The most 

 strikingly colored species of this large genus, the large white 

 spots on thorax each with two narrow prongs, one oblique, reach- 

 ing the apex, the other nearly attaining the median line. 



Conotrachelus adspersus Lee., (1876, 230) was recorded by Dury, pro- 

 bably erroneously, from Cincinnati, Ohio, it being known otherwise only 

 from Kansas. It may be readily recognized by its large size (7 7.5 mm.), 

 non-constricted thorax and nearly uniform grayish-yellow pubescence. 



739 (8725). COXOTRACHELUS siiiius Boh., Schn., 1837, 416. 



A large robust species clothed with short, pale reddish-brown pubes- 

 cence, handsomely variegated with white, which forms a complex pattern 

 each side of thorax, a wide, irregular postmedian band on elytra and three 

 rows of spots on abdomen. Beak of male one-third longer than head and 

 thorax, striate, feebly punctured; of female, red, two-thirds as long as 

 body, very slender, smooth, polished. Thorax short, one-third wider than 

 long, sides nearly parallel from base to beyond middle, then strongly con- 

 verging to apex; disc rather finely, very densely punctured, finely cari- 

 nate from tip to middle. Punctures of elytral strife very large, quadrate; 

 alternate intervals distinctly but not strongly carinate. Body beneath 

 coarsely, rather densely punctured. Length 5 6.5 mm. 



Tybee Island, Ga., June 6; Crescent City, Fla. Schwarz 

 (18!M), 232) states that the imago appears in numbers on the 

 woolly buckthorn, Buiuclia laiiHf/htowi Michx., when the tree is 

 in bloom. Breeds in the berries. (Pierce.} The large white 

 spots on thorax and elytra are shaped almost like those of C. 

 belfragei. 



740 (8726). CONOTRACHELUS NASO Lee., 1876, 231. 



Elongate-oval. Dark reddish-brown, very thinly clothed with dirty 

 brown pubescence, thorax with a small spot of white pubescence each side 

 of middle; elytra with a narrow band of yellowish hairs on apical third. 

 Beak of male one-third longer than head and thorax, striate from base to 

 antennal insertion, finely punctate; of female, slender, curved, shining,
