C\ cooperi. 



This form has long stood as a variety of vulnerata, and is left so 

 in the preceding table, though I believe this reference to be open to 

 doubt. In all the specimens of coojieri that I have seen there is an 

 almost entire lack of the black thoracic stripe which is usual in 

 vulnerata; the elytra are coarsely reticulate, and the middle and 

 hind tibipe of the male more strongly dilated than in any males of 

 vulnerata. that have come under my notice. From Horn's paper 

 there should be intermediates in elytral sculpture, but I have not as 

 yet seen such. Cooperi is much more northern in range. 



L.EFTOGENlU!S. 



Ij. Tirginicus sp. nov. — Eufotestaceons, elytra, except at base, and fifth 

 abdominal segment more or less infuscate. Upper surface densely, rather 

 coarsely sculptured, opaque: abdomen beneath more finely and less closely punc- 

 tate, somewhat shining. The cephalic sculpture consists of contiguous shallow 

 variolate punctures which are coarser beneath than above. The punctuation of 

 the thorax and especially of the elytra is deeper and clearly defined, but appears 

 slightly rugose. The head is slightly shorter than the elytra, the latter a little 

 longer than wide, and equal in length to the first four abdominal segments. 

 Length 1.7-1.8 mm. 



This species appears to conform perfectly to Casey's generic diag- 

 nosis and must be very close to his brevicornis ; in which, however, 

 the sculpture is said to be granulose ; the elytra are quadrate and 

 (judging from the figui'e) shorter than the head, and evidently 

 shorter than the first four segments of the abdomen. Of the three 

 examples before me two are tnales, both having the sixth ventral 

 formed as described by Casey of brevicornis. In the single female 

 the apex of the sixth segment is very distinctly broadly angulate. 

 In brevicornis the same segment is said to be extremely feebly angu- ' 

 late. My specimens were given me by my friend Mr, W. D. Rich- 

 ardson of Fredericksburg, Va., who very generously donated half 

 his catch. They were all sifted from the refuse underlying a pile of 

 decaying fruit in August. 



MYCETISTA. 



M. endomyclioitles sp. nov. ^Elongate-oval, less convex than M. perpul- 

 chra, and with the sides of the elytra less rounded. Head and thorax black, 

 elytra rufous, each with two discoidal black spots, the anterior one smaller, 

 obliquely oval, the posterior one large, truncate in front, beginning at the mid- 

 dle and terminating about two-fifths of its own length from the apex. Antennae 

 rufous; legs and under surface inclining to piceous. Punctuation both above
