THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 171 



A A. Elytra simply punctured. 



Punctuation finer, surface of elytra finely pubescent, opaque or 



nearly so. Black, legs and antennae often reddish, elytra yellow, 



four spots on each and tip black. .35-.38in. moHfico/a, Ra.nd. 



Punctuation coarse, surface of elytra glabrous, shining, colour 



black, elytra sometimes testaceous, or more or less distinctly 



maculate with black. .60-. 7 2 in litiirata, Kirby. 



I am unacquainted with P. rugipennis, and the description is taken 



from Mr. Leng's synopsis. P. inonticola is to be found on blossoms of 



wild rose, while I have taken liturata in numbers on piles of sawed pine 



lumber. 



Anthophilax, Lee. 



Three Canadian species are recorded, only one of which, A. atten- 

 uaius, Hald., is known to me. The others, A. viridis, Lee, and A. 

 malachitus, Hald., are suspected by Dr. Horn to be respectively the % 

 and <5 of one species. Following his table they separate thus : all 

 belonging to that section of the genus in which the antennae are slender, 

 the third joint much longer than the fourth. 

 " Elytra coarsely punctate scabrous, more or less metallic. 



Elytra greenish-blue, legs black. .70 in viridis^ V • 



Elytra cupreo-teneous to blue, legs pale. .52 in ... . malachitus, $. 

 Elytra testaceous, irregularly maculate with piceous spots. Surface 

 coarsely sparsely punctate and with small spaces which are dis- 

 tinctly pubescent ; median line of thorax distinctly impressed. 



.56 in •. attenuatus." 



Mr. W. H. Harrington has taken the last mentioned insect at 

 Ottawa on beech. 



AcM^OPS, Lee. 



Only two spec\Qs,/>raiensls a.nd proUus, are recorded in the Society's 

 lists and additions. I have, however, seen bivittata with the label 

 " Quebec," and recently Mr. Chagnon sent a specimen of subpilosa as 

 coming from Montreal ; longicornis is known from the far north of Canada, 

 and is included in the subjoined table, which is in the main equivalent 

 to those prepared by Dr. Leconte and Mr. Leng. 

 A. Front and mouth much prolonged, body moderately robust, pro- 

 thorax bell-shaped, sides sinuate but not tuberculate. Black, 

 elytra variable, either blackish, reddish or clouded, occasionally 

 indistinctly vittate. .24-.34 in J>ratensis, Laich.
