SYNOPSIS OF THK LAMIIN/E. 177 



Peritapiiia iiii«lic*oriii!« Bates {Tapeinaf), Biol. Ceut. Am. vol. v, 421. 

 Horn, Baja Cal. (Proc. Cal. Acad. Sci. ser. 2, vol. iv. 340 and 403). 

 Length . Habitat.— Lower California (Sierra El Chinchc at 2000 feet) ; 



Mexico (Oaxaca). 

 This species is made the type of the genus by Dr. Horn, who 

 separates the species thus : 



" Piceous black, moderately shining, niuricate punctures of elytra irregularly 



placed nudicoriii»«. 



Brown, dull, more convex, muricate jmnctures regularly and evenly i>laceii. 



fubra. 



The coxpe are rather more widely separated in the I'oiiuer. In 

 the males of both species the anterior femur is slightly angulate on 

 the underside one-third from the base and with a small brush of 

 short hairs. The females have a slight fovea in the last ventral seg- 

 ment, while that of the male is plain." Horn. 



Systematists are undecided as to the true position of this genus as 

 well as that of Tapeina. 



LepiostylK.i parvus, argentatuj< and acuUfer ; examples of these 

 species have recently been seen, which were taken by Mrs. Slosson 

 at Lake Worth, Florida, the latter species having the elytral tuber- 

 cles pubescent, as in arfjenUdm. 



Liopus alpha: add to the synonymy, ciuereiis Lee. 1. c. 



The Lamiinide division of our Cerambycidae now contain.-^ Ki'i 

 species in 54 genera. That of Euroj)e including Caucasus and 

 Russian Armenia, 254 .species in 31 genera, nine of which occur in 

 our fauna, namely: Monohammus, Acatithoderes, Acanthocinu-'<, Lio- 

 pii.% Hoplosla, Poyouochern.'i, Saperda, Tetrops and Oberea; omit- 

 ting Acanthocimis and Hoplomt, the same genera are common to 

 Siberia, which contains 102 species in 25 genera, as the genera now 

 stand.
