XL VI. TYPOCERUS Lee. 1850. (Gr., "impression + horn.") 



The members of this genus are more robust than those of Stran- 

 galia, but have the same tapering form. From the species of Lep- 

 tura they are distinguished by the large impressed poriferous 

 spaces on the antenna?. These are near the bases of the sixth or 

 seventh and following joints and appear as elliptical or elongate 

 smooth spots. Three species have been taken in the State, while 

 another perhaps occurs. 



KEY TO INDIANA SPECIES OF TI'POCERUS. 



c. Antennae black, the sixth and following joints with impressed spaces ; 



thorax bell-shaped, not strongly rounded on the sides. 

 l>. Elytra never entirely black, usually banded with yellow. 



c. Legs black; elytra black with basal spot and three transverse 

 bauds yellow, the two front bands sometimes united at suture. 



SPARSUS. 



cc. Legs reddish-brown; elytra reddish-brown, with four yellow bands, 



these frequently imperfect or obsolete. 1945. VELUTINUS. 



hl>. Elytra, legs and antennae entirely black. 1940. LUGUBRIS. 



mi. Antennae brown, joints 3-5 longer, sixth without impressions in either 



sex; thorax strongly punctured, much rounded on the sides before 



Ilic middle; elytra with four yellow bands more or less confluent.
