face and legs clothed with pubescence similar to dorsal surface but 

 more sparse. Length 7.7 mm. 



Male. — Fifth ventral segment, broadly, rather strongly arcuately 

 emarginate ; sixth short, narrower than last dorsal, rounded with the 

 apex at middle prolonged forming a broad obtusely terminated tooth 

 which extends beyond the last dorsal segment: Last dorsal broadly, 

 arcuately emarginate the outer angles obtusely rounded. 



One specimen, Texas. Type in collection of the Museum. 



Allied to uniformis Schaeffer and the species of the puncticollis 

 group by the structure of the antenme, but very distinct from all 

 these by the secondary sexual characters of the abdomen; it 

 differs further from uniformis, to which it is closest related, 

 in having the pubescence very fine, not coarse, the prothorax very 

 finely not coarsely punctate and the ante-scutellar impression 

 entirely wanting. 



4. Cymatodera turbata Horn. Tex. 



5. Cymatodera brunnea Melsh. Male. Female. Tex. 



6. Cymatodera bicolor Say. Male. Female. Wis.; N. Y. 



In one of the specimens from Wisconsin and one of those 

 from New York the prothorax is broadly marked with black at 

 apex and base in the usual manner, but the flanks from the middle 

 to the base are also broadly black, thus approaching two specimens 

 from New York which resemble inornata in color so closely as 

 to be easily mistaken for that species. In these the entire pro- 

 notum is black with the exception of the dilated portion of the 

 side, which is pale; both specimens are females and have the 

 apical segment of abdomen pale yellowish. 



7. Cymatodera inornata Say. Female. Wis. 

 8. Cymatodera comans Wolc. MS. Male. Tex. 



Both the specimens in the collection are males. The descrip- 

 tion of this species, which will soon appear, being now in press, 

 is based upon specimens taken in Utah and Arizona. 



9. Cymatodera texana Gorh. Female. Tex. 



Rather closely allied to C. fitscula Lee, and known only from 

 Texas. The specimen from Jalapa, Mexico, mentioned by
