antennae reddish-yellow : prothorax nearly black with the sides a little

 pression on each side ; sprinkled with short glittering decumbent hairs :

 hairs : elytra reddish-yellow tinted with green, sprinkled 'with short de- 

 cumbent whitish hairs, the lateral punctures are almost arranged in dense 

 rows: abdomen rufous; podex thickly covered with snowy hairs: legs 

 reddish-yellow ; tarsi darker ; posterior tibiae black, reddish at the base* 

 posterior tarsi piceous.

 legs entirely rufous ; trunk rufous. 



[This species is in all probability synonymous with D. dongatula 

 Schon., the var. C belonging to D. subvittata Lee. Both of these species 

 are common in Canada ; we have generally taken them upon various 

 kinds of Oaks.] c 



184. Dichelonycha testacea Kirby.— Length of body 4^/3 lines. 

 Taken by Dr. Bigsby in Canada. 



Very similar to Variety C of the preceding species ; but the body, with 

 the exception of the eyes which are black, is entirely of one colour, rufo- 

 testaceous, the head, prothorax, and tarsi being rather darker than the 

 rest ; the eyes are larger and more prominent ; the head and prothorax, 

 especially the latter, are more thickly and minutely punctured ; and in 

 this there is no dorsal channel : its margins, especially the lateral, are 

 more hairy, the elytra exhibit no humeral or apical green spot ; and they 

 are very slightly tinted with that colour. [Two females found at Eagle 

 Harbour, Lake Superior, by Dr. Le Conte. Included in the List of 

 Canadian Coleoptera.]

Body depressed, of a beautiful glossy green. Head black underneath, 

 above grossly punctured; eyes reddish-brown; antennae brown-black; 

 nose anteriorly subemarginate and a little reflexed ; prothorax with a 

 triple posterior sinus, grossly but not thickly punctured, sides luteous : 

 scutellum an isosceles triangle, impunctured : elytra, in some lights, 

 luteous, in others with a shade of green ; at the base grossly but not 

 thickly punctured, the remainder of the elytrum is acuducted like net 

 work ; disk longitudinally depressed : podex dusky, luteous at the apex,
