Middle States. The punctures of the elytra are even larger than in the pre- 

 ceding, but the form of body in this as in the two following is less slender, and 

 the thorax is more transverse than in any above described. It is impossible to 

 determine whether Say's description refers to the male of this or of p. c ol 1 a r i s. 



8. P. N e w m a n i, niger, tenuiter fere nigro-pubescens, capite thoraceque 

 nitidis, hoc magis transverso rotundato, elytris minus parce sat grosse punctatis, 

 punctis postice minoribus. Long. -25. 



Mas abdominis segmento quinto ventrali truncato, sexto conspicuo ; elytris 

 ad apicem gutta communi pallida ornatis, ad suturam profunde impressis. Fe- 

 mina latet.

One specimen, from Maine. The male of P. lugubris probably resembles 

 this species very closely, but the finer punctures of the elytra and more distinct 

 gray pubescence will enable it to be recognized. 



9. P. elegans, cyaneo-niger, nitidior, subtilius fere nigro-pubescens, 

 thorace magis transverso rotundato, flavo, elytris discrete punctatis, versus 

 apicem fere leevibus, ore palpis pedibusque flavis, antennarum basi testaceis. 

 Long. 24 3. 



Mas, abdominis segmento quinto ventrali truncato, sexto conspicuo: elytris 

 bulla apicali laevigata flava ad suturam leviter impressa ornatis. Femina 

 elytris concoloribus.
