188 GEO. H. HORN, M. D. 



14. <E. Horiii Harold.— Oval, moderately shining, head ferruginous, tliorax 

 and elytra testaceous, the former with a piceorufous fascia, the latter densely and 

 coarsely punctured, sutural vitta rather wide, vitta broad and apparently closely 

 to the lateral margin, beneath piceous, legs rufopiceous. Length 6 mm. 



Of somewhat broadlj' oval form, moderately convex, not feebly shining from 

 the dense punctuation. Heart rusty red, front in the middle smooth, around 

 coarsely punctured. Thorax moderately coarsely punctate, more finely at middle, 

 the front angles dentiform ; color reddish yellow, with a transverse reddish 

 browu fascia; scutellum black, shining. Elytra densely, equally and moderately 

 coarsely punctured ; umbone not prominent; color yellow, a broad sutural vitta 

 gradually narrower posteriorly and a second equally broad, which approaches 

 closely to the lateral border, the yellow space between these vittfe equally broad 

 from base to apex, but narrower than the lateral black vitta; underside brownish 

 black, legs reddish brown, also prosternum. Antennte dark brown, basal joints 

 scarcely paler, joints 3 and 4 usually long. Epipleurae yellow, brown within. 



Baron Harold compares this with miniafa, and says that the most 

 nearly approaching specimen of that is much more finely punctured. 

 I have not seen any specimens which I can safely refer to this. 



Occurs in Texas. 



15. <E. Ulltei n. sp.— Rather broadly oval, convex, moderately shining, be- 

 neath pale reddish brown, above yellow, thorax with a broad pale brown band, 

 elytra with the sutural and a rather broad median brown vitta. Antennfe half 

 as long as the body, piceous, three basal joints paler, third and fourth joints 

 equal in length. Head brownish, coarsely punctured between the eyes, occiput 

 smooth, frontal carina tuberculiform, tubercles distinct. Thorax three times as 

 wide as long, sides arcuately narrowed to the front, lateral margin rather narrow, 

 anterior angles distinctly dentiform, surface alutaceous, distinctly, but sparsely 

 punctate, color yellow, with a broad brownish median fascia; scutelluni piceous. 

 Elytra a little wider at base than the thorax, humeri distinct, but obtuse, um- 

 bone moderately prominent and smooth, surface moderately finely, not closely 

 punctate, smoother near the apex ; color yellow, with a brown sutural vitta, 

 broader at base, median vitta broad, the outer edge parallel with the lateral 

 margin, the inner arcuate, the vitta becoming gi'adually wider from base beyond 

 the middle, then rapidly narrower to apex. Epipleurte pale, narrowly piceous 

 within. Ai)domen shining, moderately coarsely and closely punctate. Length 

 .18— .20 inch. ; 4.5—5 mm. PI. V. fig. 15. 



This species is the smallest in the present series. At first glance 

 it re.sembles small specimens of Calligrapha elegans. It is allied to 

 ininiata, but is smaller, with a smoother head and differing in the 

 proportion of the third and fourth joints of the antennae; here these 

 joints are equal in length, in miuiata the fourth is very plainly 

 longer. 



(E. Horni Har. is also related, but is described as having the me- 

 dian fascia close to the margin and the elytra densely punctured. 



Occurs in Floi'ida. I am indebted to Mr. H. Ulke for the speci- 

 men in my cabinet.
