** Elytra with dorsal puncture. 

 35. Body broad, piceous ; thorax and elytra green bronzed. Texas. 



42. gravis Lee. 



The following species are unknown to me : 



H. 1 o n g i o r Kirby, Fauna Bor. Am. 4, 43. Found in Lat. 54. Perhaps H. 

 v a g a n s Lee. 



H. basilaris Kirby, ibid. 41. Found in Lat. 54. Seems allied to H. 

 obesulus L/ec, but the trochanters in the latter are not dark yellow, 

 nor are the elytra chestnut black. 



H. ochropus Kirby, ibid. 42, is perhaps H. desertus Lee. 



H. albionicus Mann., Bull. Mosc. 1843, 213, agrees with immature speci- 

 mens of H. ca utus Dej., in my collection. Not having seen atypical 

 specimen, I do not venture to propose the synonym. 



H. curtatus Mann., ibid. 1853, 124. Russian America. 



H. d u 1 c i c ol 1 is Ferte", Rev. Zool. 1841, 44. Texas. Probably an imma- 

 ture form of Anisodactylus ellipticus Lee. 



H. depressicollis Motsch., Bull. Mosc. 1860, 2, 136. California. 



H. alternans Motsch., ibid. 1845, 2, 343. California. 



Descriptions of new Species. 



7. H. c o n v i v u s. Elongato-oblongus, nigro-piceus, antennis palpis pedi- 

 busque ferrugineis; thorace latitudine breviore, lateribus anguste fortiter de- 

 pressis punctatis, antice magis rotundatis, margine summo, ferrugineo angulis 

 posticis fere rectis, foveis basalibus rotundatis, profundis punctatis ; elytris 

 reticulars profunde striatis, puncto dorsali nullo ; subtus piceus, abdomine 

 rufescente, inter et post coxas parce punctulato. Long. -42 -48. 



One pair from New York. Related to H. faun u s, but the thorax is more 

 rounded on the sides in front, distinctly transverse, very slightly narrowed 

 behind with the basal foveae deeper. 



8. II . vag an s. Elongato-oblongus, subtus rufo piceus, supra nigro-piceus, 

 antennis, palpis pedibusque ferrugineis ; thorace latitudine paulo breviore, 

 postice paulo angustato, lateribus anguste depressis punctatis, antice magis 

 rotundatis, margine summo ferrugineo, angulis posticis obtusis haud rotun- 

 datis, basi dense punctato, foveis profundis vage definitis ; elytris reticularis 

 profunde striatis, puncto dorsali nullo, interstitiis feminse omnibus, maris 

 externis confertim punctulatis. Long. -54 -58. 



One pair. Western States. Quite distinct by the characters given above. 

 Seems related to, and perhaps identical with H. 1 o n g i o r Kirby. 



11. H. longicollis Lee, Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. 4, 396. 



I indicated this species on a single male specimen found at New York, and 

 subsequently considered it as probably au aberrant form of H. c o m p a r, but 

 Mr. Ulke has recently fouud it abundantly in the mountains of Pennsylvania. 

 The characters in the table as well as those formerly given by me, will en- 

 able it to be recognized, and it is, moreover, much narrower in form than H. 

 c o m p a r. 



12. H. ery t h r o p u s Dej. This species seems to differ from H. c o mp a r 

 only by the smaller size, and by the hind angles of the thorax being a little 

 less obtuse. I have some doubt, about the validity of these characters as 

 specific differences. 



25. H. m o n t a n u s. Oblongo-ovalis niger, antennis palpisque piceo-rufis, 

 thorace capite latiore, latitudine sesqui breviore, lateribus rotundatis, parum 

 depressis, obsolete parce punctulatis basi fere laevi, foveis parvis, angulis 

 posticis obtusis apice rotundatis ; elytris subtiliter reticularis, feminae opaci- 

 usculis, striatis, interstitiis planis, 3io puncto postico impresso ; abdomine 

 pone coxas subtiliter, inter coxas vjx punctulato. Long. -56.
