THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 247 



Since the above was written a male specimen has been received from 

 Mr. H. B. Kirk, which was taken at Harrisburg, Pa., June i6, 1911. It 

 differs slightly from the Connecticut male in the following particular : The 

 front is more concave, the two discal foveae of the prothorax are very 

 indistinct, the prosternai lobe is distinctly emarginate in front, the 

 scutelium is not notched, and the form is slightly more cuneate; with the 

 elytral tips normally serrate. 



The holoiype and allotype are in my collection, and the remaining 

 itvcidX^ par aty pel's, in the collection of the Connecticut Agricultural Ex- 

 perimental Station. 



A. cratœgi, new species. — Holotype a male. Form oï obsoletoguttatiis, 

 elongate. Colour olive-seneous, suffused with cupreous on apical third, 

 varying to entirely cupreo aeneous, shining. Aiiteimœ reaching the middle 

 of the prothorax, serrate from the fourth joint, aeneous. Head fclightly 

 flattened, greenish, granulate-punctate, more closely in a post-clypeal 

 pubescent area, smooth spaces near the eyes finely alutaceous ; occiput 

 impressed, punctures tending to form strigae posteriorly ; median line 

 extending to the midcle of the front, where it ends in a slight depression. 

 Pi'othorax one-fourth wider than long, varying in the specimens at hand 

 from sides nearly parallel to regularly arcuate, hind angles rectangular, 

 with a strong, nearly straight carina extending almost half the length, of 

 the prothorax, lateral margin slightly sinuate ; disk with an anterior 

 circular depression and a posterior oblong one, lateral oblique depressions 

 moderate \ surface transversely strigate with punctures between the strigœ. 

 Scutelium transversely carinate. Elytra slightly sinuate behind the 

 humeri and faintly dilated behind the middle, apices separately rounded 

 and serrulate, disk slightly flattened, with the faintest indication of a costa, 

 basal depressions rather slight, surface imbricate in very regular transverse 

 series, gradually becoming finer toward the apex, pubescence very indis- 

 tinct, visible only in the basal depression of the elytra and the anterior 

 angles of the prothorax. Body beneath shining aeneous with a faint 

 cupreous tinge ; prosternai lobe distinctly emarginate, granulate-punctate, 

 with a thick mat of erect brownish hair extending from the anterior margin 

 down the intercoxal process to the acute tip, and covering a small patch 

 between the meso coxae ; propleurœ and sides of metasternum granulate- 

 imbricate, sparsely pubescent j metasternum smoother at middle. Abdo- 

 men imbricate on the first ventral, finely imbricate and sparsely punctate 

 on the others ; first ventral with a small patch of brownish hair on the
