ibid. I, 397 ; II. (513. 



Elongate, slender. I mil reddish or sooty-brown, sparsely pubescent 

 with short, suberect yellowish hairs. Clypeus obtusely rounded and with a 

 large triangular impression. Thorax one-third longer than wide, sides 

 straight, male; broadly rounded on apical half, female; disk convex, densely

Lake, Koscinsko, Putnam and Posey counties; scarce. May 12- 

 September :*U. The species in hand is the one recognized by 

 LeConte as Say's men/In/ nx. In the original description Say states 

 that the "second joint of antenna- is not much shorter than third.' 1 

 whereas it is not more than one-third the length of third. It is 

 possible that Say meant that the "third joint is not much shorter 

 than fourth." Otherwise LeConte was wrong in his determination. 

 as the comparative length of these antenna! joints seldom varies.
