 bycidae) from Pennsylvania. 



By JOSEF N. KNULL, Bureau of Zoology, Harrisburg, 



Pennsylvania. 



As far as I know, five species of Eupogonius have been 

 described, from the United States. Four of these, E. tomen- 

 tosits Hald., E. vcstitus Say, E. pubesccns Lee. and E snb- 

 aniuilus Lee. are found in the eastern part of our territory, 

 while E. fitlvovestitiis Schaeffer was described from Texas.

 fulvous hairs, intermixed with erect black and yellow hairs. Head

 each puncture bearing an erect black hair. Eyes black, prominent, 

 coarsely granulate and fringed with short fulvous hairs along the 

 margins. Female antennae shorter than body, male antennae extend-
