One specimen, New York; found in Maim' according to Mr. Randall. This Bpecii - is 

 closely allnd to K. discoideus, which it resembles in form; the thorax is longer, less Bod- 

 denlj narrowed anteriorly, and not wider than the elytra j the elytra are margined with 

 orange onl) at the base, and the punctures of the interstices are more regular; in the 

 male, the third joint of the antennas is probably dilated, as in E. discoideus.

Middle State-, rare. The broad black stripe along th" Buture gradually narrow • w ar the 

 scutellum: the exterior black margin reaches from the apex to the posterior pari of the 

 epipleura, where it ceases : the third joint of the antenna; is considerably narrower than 

 the fourth, in both sexes; the eleventh | I is slight!] constricted.
