1879.] 40 i [Horn. 



Occurs in the Middle States region, occasionally found 

 abundantly, but usually not common. 



E. inda Linn. 



Clypeus broader than long, apex not emarginate, angles rounded, margin 

 reflexed. Mesosternal button more than twice as wide as long. 



This species is so well known as to require no further 

 comment. 



Occurs everywhere in the United States east of the Rocky 

 Mountains. 



E. Schottii Lee.

 verse luteous spots. Clypeus nearly square, anterior angles rounded, apical 

 margin slightly reflexed, truncate, surface coarsely and moderately densely 

 punctured sparsely clothed with erect yellowish hair. Thorax subtriangu- 

 lar, sides feebly arcuate, base emarginate at middle, surface coarsely punc- 

 tured, more densely at the sides and very sparsely near the base, pubescence 

 short and sparse, color piceous with three luteous vittee at middle. Elytra 

 piceous opaque, with irregular, short, transverse and sinuous luteous spots,

 irregularly punctate and posteriorly distinctly plicate. Pygidium indis- 

 tinctly concentrically strigose. Mesosternal protuberance transverse, arcu-

 of the female, the anterior tibise are bidentate d\ or triden- 

 tate .?. 



In form this species bears a considerable resemblance to 

 herbacea, being much less robust and more depressed than 

 inda and with less distinct pubescence. There is, however, 

 a very close relationship between inda and Schottii, as shown 

 by a general similarity of appearance, and the form of the 

 mesosternal protuberance. 

 Occurs in Texas, Eagle Pass.
