Buprestis bilineata, vol. i, p. 386. In vol. ii, p. 596, is correctly attributed to 
Weber. 
Buprestis arcuata, vol. i, p. .387. -\gain referred to vol. ii, p. 596. Subse- 
quently described as forquatus Lee. 
Buprestis polita, vol. i, p. 387 ; vol. ii, p. 596. 
Buprestis pusilla, vol. i, p. 383; vol. ii, p. 596. For this the name parvus 
Sauud. was unnecessarily suggested. 
Buprestis lateralis, vol. ii. p. 103. also p. 596. This species was not identified 
by LeConte. The name Sayi Saund. was unnecessarily suggested for it. 
Buprestis granulata, vol. ii, p. 104. The description of this species was 
amended on p 596. Was at one time supposed to be quadriguttatus Gory. 
Buprestis geminata, vol. ii, pp. 105 and -595, is the female of otiostis. See 
remarks below. 
Agrilus ruflcollis, Fab. vol. ii, p. 595. From this time Say calls all the species 
Agrilus. 
Agrilus geminatus, vol. ii, p. .595; see above. 
Agrilus politus, vol. ii, p. 596 ; see above. 
Agrilus arcuatus, vol. ii, p. 596 ; see above. 
Agrilus granulatus, vol. ii, p. 596; see above. 
Agrilus bilineatus Weber, vol. ii, p. 596; see aliove. 
Agrilus lateralis, vol. ii, p. 596; see above. 
Agrilus pusillus, vol. ii, p. 596; see above. 
Agrilus fallax, vol. ii, p. 596. 
Agrilus putillus, vol. ii, p. 597, was unknown to LeConte. 
Agrilus otiosus, vol. ii, p. 597. This is clearly the male of geminata, described 
about thirteen years previously, but as the more recent name has been 
adopted, and in general use everywhere, it has been retained for the species. 
As Say described both, and as one or the other must be a synonym, it seems 
to matter but little which one is suppressed. 
. 4 . (liflioilis Gory. — Form elongate, piceous, with a faint greenish or cupre- 
ous surface lustre. Antennae piceous, slightly bronzed, reaching beyond the 
middle of the thorax, serrate from the fourth joint; front flat, closely coarsely 
punctate, obsoletely bituberculate and with short pubescence, occiput slightly 
impressed. Thorax broader than long, slightly narrowed at base, sides slightly 
arcuate, the marginal line from the side slightly sinuous, disc convex, a feeble 
oblique lateral concavity, a faint ante-scutellar depression, surface rather finely 
transversely strigose, punctate at apex, hind angles with a rather strong arcuate 
cariuji ; scutellum transversely carinate ; elytra narrow, scarcely dilated behind 
the middle, apices rounded and serrulate, basal fovea rather feeble, disc convex, 
with faint costa, the surface punctate, but not close, becoming imbricate near the 
apex; body beneath with more decided metallic lustre ; prosternal lobe rounded, 
with an acute emargination at middle, the inter-coxal process broad, parallel and 
obtuse at tip ; prosternal pleurm punctate and pubescent, meso- and metasternum 
at sides more densely punctate and similarly j)ubescent, along the middle much 
smoother; ventral segments along the middle sparsely punctate, first segment at 
sides densely punctate, .strigose; the second, third and fourth segments with a 
more densely punctate spot conspicuously pube.scent, the vertical portions of all 
the segments pubescent in front ; pygidium coarsely sparsely punctate, with a 
median carina not jirojecting ; claws similar on all the feet. Length .36 — .52 
inch. ; 9—13 mm.
