AMERICAN GOLEOPTERA. 147 



Brown, soiuetimes with ^treenish or cupreous shade {guftifern included 



as synonym) oregoiia. 



Head and thorax green, elytra violet-blue; violet beneath. 



var. inaricopa. 

 Elytra not serrulate at tip ; front not hairy, striate nearly to the labruni ; 

 green above and beneath ; humeral lunule usually lacking. 



depressiila. 

 Elytra 9 "J, dilated in front of the middle, elytra 9 wider ; humeral lunule up- 

 turned at its lower extremity. 

 Markings complete and partly connected at margin. 



Brown-bronze with slender markings llirticollis. 



Green-bronze with slender markings var. gravida. 



Larger ; brown-bronze with broader markings var. ponderosa. 



In some of the forms of this group, the interocular striae are 

 plainly continued past the eyes and cover the entire front; such 

 forms are not hairy in front. In other forms, while not as hairy as 

 in purpurea, the front is hairy and the sculj)ture cannot readily l)e 

 seen ; in such forms, if the hairs are especially scanty, or if they have 

 been removed by age or bad treatment, the punctures from which 

 they grew are the more evident; and I have therefore used the 

 phrase "front hairy or granulate punctate" to enable the reader to 

 correctly place his specimen, no matter what its condition may be. 

 I am indebted to Mr. Harris and to Mr. Fall's remarks in Entomo- 

 logical News (Vol. XII, pp. 307-ol0) for help in this group.

Brown-bronze, with a more or less greenish or coppery reflection, 

 beneath green ; elytral markings consist of C-shaped humeral lunule, 

 middle band rectangularly bent, apical lunule inflected anteriorly, 

 and a marginal line connected with the middle and nearly reaching 

 the lunules, but in eastern specimens, at least, never quite touching 

 them. Head granulate, interocular striae fine and close, front 

 sparsely hairy, labrura short, one toothed ; thorax nearly square, 

 granulate, impressions deep, green at base, hairy at the sides above ; 

 elytra granulate punctate, serrulate at apex. Beneath, the palpi, 

 flanks of thorax, sides of head, pleurae, coxse and legs are rather
