two hundred specimens the writer has examined, not an individual 

 has been found in which the dark occipital marking of head was 

 wanting. 



45. Hydnocera pallipennis Say. Wis.: Pa.; N. Y. 

 Also quite variable in extent of color markings. 



46. Hydnocera tricondylae Lee. Nebr. 



Since the publication of the original description of this species 

 sixty years ago (Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist. N. Y., V, 1849, p. 26), 

 nothing has appeared in print concerning it with the exception of 

 one record of its occurrence: Mr. H. Tyler Townsend (Canad. 

 Entom., XXVII, 1895, p. 44) records taking a specimen July 6, 

 1892, in Arizona (Coconini Plateau). 



This species is very appropriately named, having a fades 

 strikingly like that of the Cicindelid genus Tricondyla, this appear- 

 ance being produced by the large prominent eyes, the slender 

 form, the elytra converging toward base and the long slender legs. 

 These characters in combination make this a very distinct and 

 easily recognized species. It is a neat and handsomely colored 

 insect. 



47. Hydnocera longicollis Ziegl. Wis.; N. Y. ; Can. 



48. Hydnocera tabida Lee. Wis.; Ivans. 



Snbfam. V. ENOPLIIN^. 



49. Chariessa texana Wolc. Tex. Male. Female. 



Both the typical form and color variety are represented : The 

 specimens vary in length from it — 16 mm. The color of the 

 elytra in the typical form is dark blue, but in some specimens of 

 the variety nearly black, having only a very slight tinge of blue. 



50. Chariessa pilosa Forst. Wis.; Mo. 

 51. Pelonium leucophaeum King. ( vetusta Spin) Tex. 

 52. Pelonium granulosum sp. nov. 

 General form and size of leucoplimim, which, it somewhat re- 

 sembles in color and from which it differs by having the eyes more 

 nearly approximate in front, the thorax subopaque, proportionately 

 longer and with elevated areas wanting, the sides of prothorax anterior
