One specimen, north shore of Lake Superior. The front is flat, with the anterior mar- 

 gin distinct: it is as finely punctured a~ the thorax. This Bpeciea has very much the ap- 

 pearance of Cardiophorus, but the prosternal Bpine is long.

One specimen, San Jose, California. The lobe of the prosternum is longer than in the 

 preceding species and more rounded: the general appearance is thai of A.delocera. The 

 anterior margin ol the front is slightly elevati d: the fourth joint of the antenna) is equal 

 to the fifth.

 but the thorax is less elongate, and more suddenly narrowed in front : the scabrous punc- 

 tuation i- verj much coarser: the anterior fascia ol the eh tra, although dilati d exl< roalh . 

 is never prolonged to the humerus: the femora appear t" bo always fuscous.

Massachusetts and New York Ii is quite possible thai this species has been intro- 

 duced from Europe: il ' seem to occur far in the interior ol the country. The 

 fascia ol the elj tra is composed ol a small internal, and an « longate external spot, rea< h-
