 Leii','tli i:2'i unu. = .17 inch. Hiihitaf. — Texas. 



By (U'.>crij)ti()ii tlii?* species liavino: a ti'ansverse ivory liand on the 

 elytra must be placed in the table with reichei, from which it differs 

 by its greater robustness and spinose antennte ; and by the prothorax 

 broader and more strongly and abruptly narrowed to base.

Lengtli 19 21.5 mm. =^ .76 -.85 inch. Habitat. — Florida (Biscayne Bay). 



" Black, shining, elytra dull red with the suture piceous, thorax with four lon- 

 gitudinal lines of white puhescence. Head coarsely spareely punctured at mid- 

 dle, eyes completely encircled with white recumbent pubescence, which extends 

 along the sides of the front and crosses the edge of the clypeus. Thorax as wide 

 as long, slightly narrowed in front, sides feebly arcuate, disc coarsely punctate, 

 with four shallow longitudinal grooves extending from apex to base, the two 

 inner grooves interrupted near the base, the grooves densely pitted with white 

 recumbent pubescence ; scutelluni semicircular, black, glabrous. Elytra wider 

 at base than the thorax, gradually arcuately narrowed to apex, apices rotundato- 

 truncate, the sutural spine short, most distinct in the male, disc vaguely grooved 

 on each side of suture, surface moderately coarsely, not closely punctate, each 

 l)uncture with a short, semiercct cinereous hair, color dull red, the suture gradu- 

 ally more widely piceous from the base, then more rapidly narrowing at the 

 ajiical third. Body beneath black, shining, sparsely punctate; pro-])leura}, sides 

 of metasternum, outer edge of met-episterna, and a triangular spot at the sides 

 of each ventral segment with white pubescence. Legs black, sparsely pubescent."

LeC'onte did not describe this species as he is credited with in all 

 our lists. 



Necydalis barbar.e Rivers, Ent. Amer. vi, 112, was described 

 after Mr. Leng's synopsis of the genus was in press, but is included 

 in a supplementary paper, L c. p. 213.

Length 13 mm. = .52 inch. Habitat. — California (near San Francisco). 



Described as allied to trivittatus, but differing in its unusually 

 long, stout and com[)ressed antennie ; and as rather short and stout, 

 moderately .shining, with the body, legs and antcnnie black, the ab- 

 domen rufo-testaceous, and the elytra with a pale narrow marginal 

 vitta, which does not ([uite attain the apex.

 Length 9.3-11 mm. = .37-.44 inch. Habitat. — Colorado? 



Described from five examples, probably males, and stated to be 

 moderately robust, rather convex, piceous-black ; legs and antennje 

 piceo-testaceous ; elytra pale luteo-testaceou.s, with a broad common
