C tenera, Lee. 



This species has caused me much trouble, the type and only speci- 

 men known is in a bad state and very immature. It agrees in form, 

 size, and sculpture, with inornata, and the description will answer 

 equally well for this, except that there is a circum-hunieral pale space 

 and irregular median fascia. I have never seen specimens of inornota 

 showing any trace of fascijc, although such traces do exist in the black 

 elytra of hicohr, and did this unique resemble the normal bicolor as 

 closely as it does inornata., I would have no hesitation in uniting them 

 in view of the traces of fasciae which exist. I must, however, strongly 

 incline to the view of its identity with inornata., and leave the matter 

 to future collectors. 



There arc two other specimens, both females, from Texas, which 

 indicate distinct species, not knowing the males I must decline to 

 name them, but will give short descriptions. 



C. , . — Form and sculpture of undulata, legs brown, elytra witli 



post-humeral pale lunule, a median sinuous band, and apex pale. Body be- 

 neath dark brown. Length .40 inch; 10 mm. 



C , . — Form and sculpture of fuscula, elytra with median pale 



fascia and a common subapical spot, divided by the suture. Length .30 incii ; 

 7.5 mm. 



These two species should be placed near those witli which I have 

 compared them.
