TRIBE II. — CORIZINI. 283 



than long, the apex pointed; of male somewhat prolonged, the apex 

 rounded. Length, 5 — 6 mm.; width, 2.5 — 3 mm. 



Frequent in southern Indiana, May 16 — Oct. 17. No speci- 

 mens are at hand from the northern counties, though it doubt- 

 less occurs sparingly throughout that region. Sherborn, Mass., 

 Oct. 24 (Frost). Found in autumn on weeds along the margins 

 of meadows and roadsides, and in early summer on flowers of 

 shrubs along the borders of thickets, especially those of the 

 dogwood, Cornus alter ni 'folia L. Probably hibernates as imago 

 as it is sometimes found beneath logs in October. Recorded 

 from Miami, Lakeland, La Grange, Daytona, St. Augustine and 

 Pablo Beach, Fla., and probably occurs over the northern two- 

 thirds of that State. Its general range is northern, extending 

 from Quebec and New England west to British Columbia and 

 Colorado and south and west to Florida, Texas, Arizona and 

 California. By most American authors it has been recorded as 

 Corizus nigristernum Sign., now regarded as a synonym of C. 

 lateralis. About Buffalo, N. Y., Van Duzee (1894, 173) found 

 it "abundant in fields and pastures and reaching maturity about 

 June 15." It is darker in general hue than our other northern 

 species and this, with the X-shaped pale mark on dorsum, dis- 

 tinct pale median line of pronotum and subacute apex of last 

 dorsal of female are the principal characters for its identifica- 

 tion.

Oblong-oval. Dark brown, thickly clothed with suberect yellowish 

 hairs ; elytra milky white, veins of corium darker ; under surface and 

 tibiae more or less greenish-yellow. Head as broad across eyes as long, 

 \vider than front margin of pronotum, without antenniferous tubercles ; 

 antennas shorter than head and pronotum united, joint 1 shortest, 

 reaching tip of tylus; 2 longest; 4 very stout, fusiform, longer than 3. 

 Pronotum coarsely, densely punctate, humeral angles rounded, promi- 

 nent. Scutellum broad at base, longer than head, rounded apically,

Yaphank, Long Island, N. Y. (Bueno). Recorded only from 

 New York and Massachusetts. The types were taken by Bueno 

 in a sandy grassy spot in the pine woods near Yaphank. It is 

 our smallest and most pubescent species. 



Tribe III. LEPTOCORINI Van Duzee, 1914, 379. 



The members of this tribe differ much in appearance from 

 those of the two preceding, being large black species with red
