AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 143 



flanks of thorax, coxae, pleurae and legs are clothed with long white 

 hair ; shorter hairs, more sparsely placed, clothe the abdomen. 



This species occurs on the seacoast of Oregon, at Yaquina Bay, 

 where it has lately been collected by Prof. Wickham and by Prof. 

 F. L. Washburn, of Eugene, Oreg. It has been sent out by Prof. 

 Wickham and by myself as hyperborea, but erroneously as has since 

 been shown by comparison with the types. It is possible that Dr. 

 LeConte and Prof. Schaupp regarded the Oregon form as identical 

 with hyperborea from Hudson's Bay Territory, but they differ, not 

 only at first glance in the width of the markings, but in the pilosity 

 of the head and the apical serrulation of the elytra, the characters 

 which served to separate the species of the preceding group. The 

 green specimens of this species are most brilliant objects under a 

 strong glass and suggest the name assigned. 



Ancocisconensis group. 



Thorax convex, uot marfrined, subquadrate ; palpi % pale at base; elytra convex, 

 markings narrower, not connected at margin ; front hairy, iuterocular 

 striae fine and numerous, labrum long, three toothed ; elytra punctate- 

 granulate, serrulate at apex aucociscoiiensis.

Habitat. -Yt., N. H., N. Y., Pa., 111., Va. 



Brown bronze, with cupreous or green reflections, sometimes dark 

 green bronze, beneath green ; elytral markings consist of humeral 

 lunule, short middle band obtusely bent, apical lunule anteriorly 

 reflected and a short marginal band connected with middle band. 

 The markings resemble somewhat those of rejoa/ic?tt. Head granu- 

 late, hairy in front, striate between the eyes only, labrum long and 

 evidently three toothed ; thorax granulate, broad, not very convex, 

 slightly narrowed behind, impressions deep, green at base, with a 

 fringe of short hair each side above; elytra not strongly granulate, 

 finely serrulate at apex ; beneath, the palpi, flanks of thorax, sides 

 of head, pleurae, legs, coxae and sides of abdomen are thinly clothed 

 with long white hair. 



Originally described from North Conway, N. H., in the White 

 Mountains, this species is now found at Mt. Mansfield, Vt., by Mr 

 Roland Hayward ; on the road from Glen to Jackson, N. H., by 



TRANS. AM. ENT. SOC, XXVIII. MAY, 1902.
