63. HI. cinerco-fasciata sp. nov. (Pi. Ill, figs. 24, 25 1. 



Readily recognized by the unusually heavy form, which recalls Mordella, 

 and the combination of cinereous bands and humeral pale spot. One 

 specimen only, Ithaca, N. Y. •; my collection. 



64. HI. ;vi h iops sp. nov. 



Unicolored. Of the seven specimens that I have seen, not one varied 

 in any way from the description given in the synopsis. Colorado; Coll. 

 Dr. Horn and myself. 



65. HI. Tcxana sp. nov. (PL III, fig. 64, tibia and tarsi). 



Another of those species having the thorax red and elytra and body 

 black, and therefore distinguishable only by the ridges of tibia and tarsi. 

 Two specimens, Texas ; Coll. Dr. Horn and myself 



66. HI. fusco-atra Hel. Pr. Ac. N. Sc. Ph. xvi, 105. (PI. Ill, fig. 28, tarsi only). 

 Unknown to me, but evidently very distinct by the ridges of posterior 



tibia and tarsi. 



67. M. vii | ,ii < I hi Hel. Pr. Ac. N. Sc. Ph. xvi, 105. (PI. Ill, fig. 27, tarsi only). 

 Also unknown to me. 



68. HI. rufiventris Hel. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. xvi, 105. 

 Also unknown to me. 



69. HI. angusta Lee. Pr. Ac. N. Sc. Ph. xvi, 105. (PL III, fig. 29, tarsi only). 

 Known to me only in very few specimens, and presenting nothing- 

 notable in those I have seen. 



70. HI. at ten uata Say, Journ. Ac. N. Sc. Phil, v, 243, (Mordel/a) ; vittigera 

 Lee. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. xiv, 51. (PL III, fig. 30). 



I have seen only a single specimen from Dr. LeConte's collection of 



the nttenuata form, but I have seen a number of the vittigera form, and 



from its variations I conclude that the two are identical. I believe that 



vittigera is the species, and attenuata the variety, if varieties are to be 



named. According to the laws of priority of course Say's name stands 



for the species. 



71. HI. discolor Mels. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. ii, 313. (PL III, fig. 31). 

 Tibia and tarsi of this, and the preceding and following species 



shown at PI. Ill, fig. 32. The insect is rare, and I have seen but 

 very few specimens. 



72. HI. wmula Lee. Col. Kan. & N. Mex. 16. (Smith's Contr.). 



I have seen only a single specimen and know nothing of it. 



Species as yet unidentified.
