128 LENG AXD HAMILTON. 



with fine iiiediiin line ; eyes moderately coarsely granulate, large, prominent, not 

 very deeply emargiuate nor widely separated above; antennse twice as long as 

 the body, not annulate. Thorax nearly twice wider than long, smooth, scarcely 

 perceptibly punctulate, a basal marginal row of punctures, spine strong, promi- 

 nent; scutellum rounded, punctate. Elytra with moderately fine, evenly dis- 

 posed punctures gradually finer toward apex, before which they become obsolete, 

 apices obtusely rounded. Length 5-6 mm. ; .20-.24 inch. HnhUaf. — Florida 

 (Bay Biscayne). 



Described from two examples without sexual distinction. The

Length 6-6.5 mm. : .24-. 26 inch. Habitat. — Canada. New York, New Jersey, 

 Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Iowa, Illinois. 



[The elytra in this species are ornamented each side with a spot 

 near base, one at the side a little behind it, a smaller spot at middle 

 near suture and another on the disc a little in advance, behind this 

 a broad band not attaining the suture prolonged backward along 

 the margin arcuately till near apex, where it curves suddenly inward 

 and forward forming a c-like figure, black. These markings are 

 seemingly quite constant. Mr. Leng has taken this species near 

 New York on dead twigs of sumach.] " Ham."

 [Thorax dark, with a narrow discal line of gray pubescence, and 

 a broad one on the sides; elytra light colored, bearing dark mark- 

 ings as follows : suture to posterior band, joining the suture at base 

 a quadrate spot eraarginate behind, a lateral stripe in front of mid- 

 dle, to which is joined a shorter one emarginate behind, a small 

 discal spot at middle, a sutural one frequently joined to an irregular 

 broad band behind the middle extending a little on the sides forward 

 and backward, and a submarginal spot near apex ; a large apical 

 area light colored; antenme not annulate, two and one-half times 

 longer than the body. I have raised this species abundantly from 

 dead oak limbs, and likewise from hickory; from butternut i Jug- 

 lans cinerea), Chittenden.] " Ham."
