THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 149 



NEW NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF GORYTES. 



BY WM. J. FOX, PHILADELPHIA, 



The monograph of this genus, pubUshed by Handlirsch,* necessitated 

 the working-up of the unidentified species in the collection of the Ameri- 

 can Entomological Society. This author' has merged several genera into 

 Goryies, viz., Etispongus, Hoplisus, etc. I have followed him, as several 

 of the species described herein belong to what was once the genus 

 Hoplisus. There are several other new species contained in the Society's 

 collection, represented by single specimens only. The following table 

 will separate the species described herein : — 

 First abdominal segment not petioliform, nor coarctate. 



Inner eye-margins almost parallel ; antennaj entirely yellowish. 



tricolor, Cr, $ 

 Inner eye-margins distinctly converging towards the clypeus. 



Flagellum long and slender, not or scarcely thickened towards 

 the apex ; markings yellow. 

 Posterior face of metathorax not rugulose, 



7ievadensis ? $ 

 Posterior face of metathorax strongly rugulose. 



atrifrons $ $ 



Flagellum distinctly thickened towards the apex ; markings 



whitish. albosignatus ? $ 



First abdominal segment petioliform ; joint lo of the antennae incised 



beneath, mirandus $ 



First abdominal segment coarctate ; black, with the second abdominal 



segment red, rufocmcttis ?
