Var. nigrinus Blatchley 



This name has recently been given by Blatchley to the entirely 

 black form. It is not uncommon and is likely to occur any- 

 where with the maculate forms. 



Var. festivus new variety 



Elytra entirely yellow except the shoulder knob, or with traces 

 of some of the standard spots, prothorax with the median line 

 and margin reddish yellow. The prothorax is typically more 

 transverse and less narrowed in front than in the usual form, and 

 the elytra are less coarsely punctate and less deeply striate at 

 sides. These specimens look considerably different from ordinar}^ 

 luridus and may possibly be distinct, but intermediates are not 

 lacking.
