the punctures coarse, deep aud moderately close, intervals flat, with smaller 

 punctures than those of the strife. Prosternum and side pieces smooth. Abdo- 

 men shining, sparsely, indistinctly punctate, and with few hairs. Length .10 — 

 .14 inch.: 2.5—3.5 mm. 



In the specimens before n)e no sexual differences have been ob- 

 served. 



Tlie facies of this species is that of a large Chretocneraa, and its 

 colors are so exactly those of many Podagrica that the species was 

 referred to that genus in tiie "Classification" (1883, p. 353). Not- 

 withstanding its resemblance to the latter genus, there can be no 

 doubt of its correct reference to Glyptina, more especially in view of 

 the structure of the front coxal cavities. 



Occurs in Georgia (Morrison), Louisiana and Kansas. 



a. cyaiiipeiiiiis Crotch. — Oblong oval, convex, body beneath i)iceous; 

 head, thorax and legs reddish yellow, elytra metallic blue. Antennas rufotesta- 

 ceous, a little darker at tip. Head impunctate. Thorax about one-third wider 

 than loug„slightly narrowed in front, sides arcuate, the anterior angles obliquely 

 truncate with a slight post-apical angulation, disc convex, smooth aud shining, 

 with a few fine scattered punctures Elytra scarcely wider at base than the tho- 

 rax, humeri obliquely rounded, umbone feeble. di.sc striate, strife coarsely, ser- 

 rately punctured, the punctures finer near the apex, intervals slightly convex, a 

 little wider than tlie strife, each with a single row of finer punctures. Abdomen 

 piceous, shining, sparsely, finely punctate. Length .08 inch. ; 2 mm. 



This species has very nearly the form and elytra! sculpture of 

 rubl of Europe, but is a little less convex. It forms a link between 

 the species of Euro})e and those which follow. The body is not en- 

 tirely apterous, but the elytra seem to be connate. All the European 

 species are said to be apterous, as is the hicolor which precedes. 



Occurs at Biscayne Bay, Florida, and in Texas. 



G. iiivJllis u. sp. — Oblong oval, modertitely convex and shining, body be- 

 neath, lu'tid aud thorax piceous black, elytra metallic blue Antenufe piceous, 

 four basal joints rufotestaceous. Head smooth. Thorax one-hiilf wider than 

 long, not narrowed in front, sides slightly arcuate, anterior angles slightly ob- 

 liquely truncate, the posterior a little prominent, disc moderately convex, sparsely 

 finely punctate. Elytra wider at base than the thorax, humeri distinct, umbone 

 moderate, smooth. di.sc regularly striato punctate, strife not impressed, punctures 

 rather fiue, moderately close, intervals flat, indistinctly, sparsely punctate, punc- 

 tures less distinct at sides and apex- Body beneath shining, abdomen sparsely 

 punctate. Anterior and middle femora brown, posterior piceous, slightly bronzed, 

 tibi'ce and tivrsi testaceous. Length .09 inch.; 2.5 mm. 



This si)ecies recedes from the others with metallic blue elytra in 

 having the humeri (juite distinct. In this res[)ect it resembles cev/Mct, 

 although the elytral sculi)ture is very like .Hparia.
