534 The Ohio Naturalist. [Vol. IX, No. 8, 



Found in the same localities and associated with L. pusillus 

 and L. purpureus. This species may be readily distinguished 

 by the bronze color of the body, the extreme type of the pointed, 

 projecting mesonotum, and the peculiar arrangement of the 

 ocelli in the elongate eye spot. 



Note 1. One other form quite numerous about Columbus 

 has been described as a Lepidocyrtus b}" Marlatt in 1896, in The 

 Canadian Entomologist, vol. XXVIII, pg. 219, also in U. S. 

 Dept. Agr. Bull., No. 4, pg. 81-83. This species he names L. 

 americanus, however it proves to be synonomous with Seira 

 nigromaculata Lubbock, which has been reported from Minne- 

 sota by Guthrie. Superficially the species possibly resembles a 

 Lepidocyrtus, but does not have the projecting mesonotum, 

 while the antennal joints are much longer in proportion than is 

 found among the species of Lepidocyrtus.
