THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 41 



a system of exceedingly fine wavy lines with sparse very minute feebly 

 impressed punctures, a little more evident on the head. 



This is the first species to be described from our fauna without discal 

 pronotal punctures. It is not possible to assert that their absence is con- 

 stant, although completely wanting in the three specimens before me. 



Tritoma tenebrosa, n. sp. 



Very similar in size, form and colour to tinicolor \ broadly ovate, 

 black, mouth, antennal stem, tarsi and tip of last ventral segment dark 

 rufous or rufopiceous, upper surface very finely alutaceous throughout and 

 rather dull. Head closely, distinctly but not coarsely punctate. Prothorax 

 finely rather sparsely punctulate ; punctures of elytral series moderately 

 strong and close, nearly as in unicolor ; intervals minutely sparsely punc- 

 tulate. Body beneath dull, rather finely sparsely punctate, the ventral 

 segments more closely so. 



Length 4.8 mm.; width 2.75 mm. 



Southern Pines, N.C. (Rev. A. H. Manee). 



The resemblance to wiicolor is very close in all respects except the 

 lustre and sculpture of the pronotum, which in the latter species is strongly 

 shining without alutaceous sculpture and with the punctuation relatively 

 very coarse. Angulata is more nearly in agreement with te?iebrosa in 

 I)unctuation and surface lustre, but it is distinctly smaller, with finer less 

 closely punctured elytral striie and red legs. 



Agriliis strigkoliis, n. sp. 



Form moderately stout, about as in pensus and oholinus, moderately 

 shining, aeneous, prothorax somewhat cupreous, beneath cupreo-aeneous. 

 Antennae barely attaining the middle of the prothorax, serrate from the 

 fifth joint, which is a little longer than wide, the following ones wider than 

 long. Front broadly and rather deeply concave in superior half, the con- 

 cavity confluent with a smaller post-clypeal impression, coarsely closely 

 punctate, the punctures uniting in part to form short rugae. Prothorax a 

 little wider than long, sides nearly straight and parallel, narrowed only at 

 the anterior angles ; median line rather deeply impressed throughout, the 

 impression broader behind \ surface coarsely transversely strigose in wavy 

 lines at the middle, the strigse becoming longitudinal laterally ; hind angles 

 not carinate though with an obtuse elevation in the position of the usual 

 carina, within which is a small basal impression, and another larger at the 

 middle of the outer margin. Scutellum impressed and without transverse 

 carina. Elytra scarcely sinuate behind the humeri, gradually narrowed
