FALL AND COCKKRELL. 249 



Taken abundantly at Cloudcroft in the Sacramento Mountains of 

 New Mexico by Mr. Knaus, to whom I am indebted for a good 

 series. Mr. Knaus writes thus concerning it: "This species I took 

 on the summit (9200 feet) on scrub oak leaves and balsam pine, also 

 at Wooten's Station, six miles below Cloudcroft at 7000 feet ou 

 willow and wild rose, but not nearly so frequent as at the summit of 

 the mountains." 



D. inormona n. sp. 



This name is suggested for the Utah form alluded to under fal- 

 gida and crotchii in my " Notes ou Dichelonycha " (Trans. Am. En t. 

 Soc, 1901, p. 285). A good series has lately been received fi-om 

 Mr. Knaus, who took them at Stockton, Utah. The females appear 

 to be invariably colored like the males, while in both fulgida and 

 crotchii the females have the head, thorax, body beneath and legs 

 quite as uniformly testaceous or rufous. The elytral punctuation is 

 intermediate in character between fulgida and crotchii. 



CERAMBYCID^. 



Leptura kerniaiia n. sp. — Form of propinqua and allies, hlaek, elytra 

 and abdomen dull rufous, legs rufous, tarsi and tips of the tibiae blackish ; pube.s- 

 cence short, grayish on the prothorax and beneath, blackish on the elytra. Head 

 obsoletely, sparsely, finely punctate, median line impressed ; anteunsB entirely 

 black, a little more than three-fourths the length of the body {%). the joints 

 proportioned as in propinqua. Prothorax as wide as long, exclusive of the poste- 

 rior angles, which are strongly acutely produced ; sides sinuately convergent 

 from the base to a somewhat tubereuliform prominence in front of the middle, 

 thence straight and rapidly convergent to apex ; apical constriction and poste- 

 rior depression well marked, median line concave; disk rather finely but not 

 closely punctate. Elytra strongly narrowed behind, finely sparsely punctate and 

 immaculate, apices obliquely truncate, the outer angle acute but not spiniform. 

 Length 11 mm. 



Described from a single male specimen taken by Mr. F. S. Dag- 

 gett on the Kern River (elevation 6000 feet), California. 



The fifth ventral is broadly but not deeply arcuately emarginate, 

 the limiting angles acute. In propinqua the fifth ventral is much 

 more deeply emarginate. The unspotted elytra and coloration easily 

 distinguish the present species from any of those nearly related. 



Ijeptura subcostata n. sp. — Entirely black, pubescence very short, fine, 

 and rather sparse, not longer on the prothorax, blackish throughout; head, 

 thorax and elytra nearly equally, very finely and somewhat sparsely punctate, 

 surface moderately shining. Antennae ( 9 ) slightly longer than half the body, 

 filiform, not at all stouter externally, fourth joint three-fourths as long as the
