NOTE ON ARADUS ORNATUS (Say). 



Herbert Osborn. 



Aradus ornatu.«! was described b}- Say in 1831, since which time 

 it has remained ahnost unrecognized, the only record being that 

 of Bergroth who mentions a specimen* and suggests that the spe- 

 cies that had usualh' borne this name in collections was one to 

 which he gives the name " dtizei." 



A short time ago in looking over Mr. Dury's interesting col- 

 lection I found three specimens of this species, which was new to 

 me, and with his kind permission they were brotight to Columbus 

 for study. Careful comparison with the related species and Say's 

 description proved them to be certainly his ornattis and it is no 

 small pleastire to add this rare and handsome species to otu" local 

 fainia. As Say's description was written from specimens taken 

 in Indiana, presumably in New Harmon}^ these captures at Cin- 

 cinnati may be considered ([uite near to the type locality, and 

 since they agree in the minutest details with Say's description, 

 they may be considered as typical examples for the species. 



The species agrees with robiistiis and diizci in having swollen 

 antennae but differs from both . in the three shiny spots at the 

 hind border of the pronotum, and from robustus in the nuich 

 lighter color.
