1457 (4437). OORYMBITES DIVARICATUS Lee.. Trans. Ainer. Phil. Soe., X, 



1853, 446. 



Oblong, roltust. Dull sooty-brown or pieeous, sparsely and finely pubes- 

 cent. Third joint of antenna? slightly longer than fourth, much longer than 

 second. Thorax of male subquadrate. feebly convex, sides nearly straight, 

 disk coarsely and densely punctate, hind angles strongly diverging; that 

 of female wider than long, strongly convex, sides broadly rounded, a deep 

 impression each side along front margin. Elytral stria' feebly impressed 

 with rather coarse punctures; intervals of male flat, densely and roughly 

 punctulate ; of female subconvex, finely and sparsely puuctulate. Length 

 9-12 ram. 



Crawford Comity; scarce. June 25-June 28. Beaten from 

 foliage of oak. The so-called female is very different in appear- 

 anee from the male. In addition to the distinctions above given, 

 the body is much more robust, dark shining 1 chestnut-brown in color 

 and much less pubescent. It was described as C. crassus Lee. and 

 7nay yet prove to be a distinct species. The mere fact that two 

 beetles widely different in appearance are sometimes found in com- 

 pany, or even rarely in coitu, does not furnish absolute proof of 

 their identity. 



1458 (4468). COKYMBITES .ETHIOPS Herbst., Kafer, X, 1806, 70. 

 Elongate, broad, subdepressed. Black, shining, finely and very sparsely 



pubescent; legs and antenna? pieeous or dark reddish-brown. Third joint of 

 antenna? twice the length of second, slightly shorter and much narrower 

 than fourth. Thorax a little longer than broad, narrowed in front, sides 

 feebly rounded ; disk finely and sparsely punctate on middle, more densely 

 on sides, with a faint median impressed line; hind angles slightly diverging, 

 distinctly carinate. Elytra with sides parallel to apical third, thence strongly 

 converging to apex ; strife finely and closely punctate ; intervals subconvex. 

 sparsely and rather coarsely and roughly punctulate. Length 15-2'! mm. 



Throughout the State, frequent ; more so in the southern coun- 

 ties. May 10-June 26. Occurs usually beneath stones and rubbish 

 on high, dry hills; also on Virginia creeper, Parthenocissus quhi<i\ic- 

 foJia Miclix. Our largest species of the genus. 



1459 (4482). CORYMBITES HIEROGLYPH icrs Say, Trans. Arner. Phil. Soc., 



VI, 1836, 172 ; ibid. IT. 607. 



Oblong, robust. Head and thorax pieeous. bronzed, densely clothed 

 with very fine, silky grayish-yellow pubescence: elytra dull yellow, with an 

 oblique undulated blackish band from the humerus, connected by a narrow 

 sntural stripe with another similar but broader band behind the middle, 

 the latter with a sutnral spur nearly to apex: antenna' and legs reddish- 

 brown. Thorax as in JmiiiiitUN, the carinre of hind angles indistinct. Ely- 

 tra with punctures of the stria' smaller than in Jidinntns, otherwise similar. 

 Length 11-12.5 mm.
