augulated at the sides, dorsal line distinct; elytra gradually tapering 

 toward the apex, which is round, a linear marginal, and a median yellowish 

 stripe on each elytron, extending nearly to the apex, where it becomes confluent 

 with the suture, the median is suddenly expanded anteriorly to the scutel, and 

 posteriorly from the suture outward; legs rufous ; femora slightly clavate, and 

 black toward the tips. 



Length, -32 36.

Allegheny Ridge, Western Virginia. This species varies by the poster;, 

 fourth of the median stripe in some specimens tapering to a point, and in others 

 it is separated from the remainder of the stripe. 



The male, as in the former species, is smaller and more slender in form than 

 the female. 



^EGILOPSIS. 



Antennae approximate, longer than the body, densely pilose beneath, first 

 joint cylindrical, equalling in length the third or fourth joint. 



Eyes lateral, slightly angulate posteriorly, front elongated, inflexcd ; head 

 and prothorax of equal breadth ; elytra somewhat broader; prothorax un- 

 armed; ungues not connate at base. 



This genus belongs in the same group of the Lamiae, with the American 

 genera Hippopsis and Spacalopsis. 



A. cinerea. Elongate, cinereous, antenna? black, with the proximal 

 extremity of the joints ringed with ash color ; thorax cylindrical, much longer 

 than wide, with four longitudinal dark stripes, two lateral, and two close 

 together on the superior surface ; elytra, with two dark obsolete stripes on 

 each, one sutural and the other traversing the middle of each elytron; sparsely 

 punctured, with black, erect hairs scattered over the surface; apices of elytra 

 spinous, and slightly pilose. 



Length, -25 -30.

The Society possesses two specimens ; they were taken in Comal county,

 terior coxa? not contiguous ; meso-sternum triangular, apex acute. 



E. sanguinicollis. Black, opaque, finely granulate, head black, antenna? 

 black, brownish toward the tips, slightly pilose ; thorax bright red, slightly 

 canaliculate, twice as broad as long, obtusely augulated on the sides, much 

 contracted posteriorly, narrower than the elytra ; elytra black, sides flattened

Northern New York, Mr. T. B. Ashton. The general appearance of this 

 beautiful insect, is that of a Callidium, with a slightly canaliculate thorax ; it 

 differs, however, in the non-contiguity of the anterior coxa?.
