Female. Antennal club compact, joints 9-10 wide, together equaling 

 the last segment. 



Distinguished by the elj^tral spots, uniform color, and the structure of 

 the prosternum and male antennal club. 



Occurs in New England. 



A. Homii, n.sp. Elongate, convex, black, clothed with dense, cine- 

 reous, semi-erect ])ubescence. Elytra fulvous with a broad longitudinal 

 black band, interrupted obliquely at basal third, of black ; head coarsely 

 punctate, pubescent, antennae testaceous; thorax coarsely punctate, densely 

 pubescent. Elytra coarsely punctate, fulvous with a basal spotand longitu- 

 dinal band rufous ; entirely clothed with dense, cinereous recumbent 

 pubescence. Body beneath rufo-piceous, moderately coarsely punctate, 

 clothed with short cinereous hairs, prosternum moderately long, wide. 

 Mesosternum twice as wide as long, sulcate in front, very prominent. 

 Abdominal segments black with short cinereous hairs. Legs testaceous. 

 Length .14 inch ; 8.5 mm. (Figs. 24, 2.5.) 



Male. Antennal club elongate, with joints 9-10 very large, equal, 

 together as long as all the preceding joints, 11 elongate almost equal to 

 9 and 10 united. (Fig., 18.) 



Female. Antennal club elongate, joints 9-10-11 equal. (Fig. 19. ) 



This species is easily separated from the rest, by the markings, and dense 

 cinereous pubescence of the elytra and by the structure of the male 

 antennal club. The mesosternum is long, less deeply sulcate and more 

 prominent than in the other species. 



It was recognized by Crotch as a new form and labeled in the collec- 

 tions with the above name, although no description has ever been pub- 

 lished. 



A. hyturodes Cr. of the Check List is the female of this species. Occurs 

 in the Pacific States. 



A. perplexus n.sp. Elongate, convex, black, clothed with short, black, 

 semi-erect pubescence. Elytra with broad sinuous basal and a few spots at 

 middle and apex, of whitish pubescence. Head coarsely punctate, pubes- 

 cence black and cinereous. Antennfc rufous. Thorax densely and 

 coarsely punctate, disc sparsely, sides and base more densely clothed with 

 long semi-erect yellow pubescence. Elytra black, Avith a piceous sinuous 

 sub-basal band which bears whitish-yellow hairs. Body beneath black, 

 coarsely punctate, pubescence short, semi-erect, yellowish-white. Pro- 

 sternum wide, moderately long, abdominal segments black, finely punctate, 

 pubescent, legs rufous. Length .16 inch ; 4 mm. 



Male. Antennal club with joints 9-10 equal ; 11 slightly longer not 

 equal to both the preceding united. 



Female. Antennal club with the last joint equal to two preceding united . 



This species is entirely different in appearance and in the structure of 

 the male antennal club from all others in our fauna except varicolor, from
