ROLAND HAYWAKD. 33 



puuctiires widely interrupted at middle; intervals flat, somewliat wider tlian 

 usual. Body beneath piceous; sides of metasternuni, meso- and metasternal 

 episterna and sides of ventral segments punctate. Legs rufopiceous; middle 

 and posterior femora with two setigerous punctures along the inner margin ; 

 the two basal joints of the hind tarsi grooved on the outer side. Length .44 

 inch ; 11 mm. 



The above is from LeConte's type, which was received from 

 Motschulsky under tlie name "■ rujiviaiius." It resembles most 

 nearly eschscholtzi, but is abundantly distinct by the characters 

 given above. 



Under his description LeConte gives the locality as "Russian 

 America," but there is no locality label attached to the specimen 

 ill question. 



17. A. elongala Lee. — Elongate, oblong-ovate, slightly convex, the elytra 

 flattened on the disk. Color varying from pale rufopiceous to piceous, shining. 

 Head as wide as the thorax at apex; frontal grooves short, uot extending for- 

 ward on to the episterna; eyes rather small ; antennse nearly as long as the head 

 and thorax, ferruginous or rufopiceous, slender; palpi rufous or rufopiceous. 

 Prothorax suliquadrate, slightly wider than long, distinctly wider at base than 

 apex, impunctate at apex, punctate at base; apex slightly emargiuate; trans- 

 verse impressions nearly obsolete ; median line distinct, abbreviated at each end ; 

 basal impressions bifoveate, the inner fovea longer than the outer; sides with 

 the margin very narrowly reflexed, rounded, obsoletely sinuate immediately in 

 front of the hind angles, which are slightly obtuse and very obtusely carinate; 

 base truncate. Elytra oblong-oval, elongate, together distinctly wider than the 

 thorax, striate; strias entire, finely punctate to behind the middle, the scutellar 

 stria shorter than usual, the eighth with the row of ocellate punctures broadly 

 interrupted at middle ; intervals flat. Body beneath of the same color as above ; 

 meso- and metasternal episterna and sides of metasternum sparsely and sides of 

 first two ventral segments more densely punctured. Legs varying frou) rufous 

 to piceous; middle and hind femora with two setigerous punctures along the 

 inner margin; basal joint of middle and hind tarsi feebly grooved externallv. 

 Length .44-. 46 inch ; 11-11.5 mm. 



In the males the middle tibite are distinctly bidentate, the teeth 

 being normally placed. 



A very distinct species, (littering markedly from our other 

 Cyrtonoti in form, and bearing considerable resemblance to the 

 Siberian ^4. fodina'. It is readily re(H)gnizable l)v the characters 

 given. 



It seems to me by no means improbable that this mav be Inmer- 

 borea Dej., but it would be necessary to see Dejean's type before 

 treating it as such. Beneath his description Dejean compares 

 hyperborea with fodina', and states that it should be placed next to
