NORTH AMERICAN BUPRESTID BEETLES 113 



bent hairs, and with a large spot of longer, densely placed, golden 

 yellow pubescence at the sides of each segment ; first and second seg- 

 ments convex, and smooth at middle; last segment rounded at apex; 

 vertical portions of all the segments densely clothed with golden 

 yellow pubescence; pygidium coarsely punctate and strongly carm- 

 ate, the carina strongly projecting, and truncate at apex. Prester- 

 num coarsely, rather densely punctate, sparsely clothed with short, 

 inconspicuous hairs at the middle, but the episternum densely 

 clothed with recumbent golden yellow pubescence; prosternal lobe 

 rather narrow, moderately declivous, and broadly rounded or sub- 

 truncate in front; prosternal process broad, the sides parallel to 

 behind the coxal cavities, then strongly narrowed to the apex, which 

 is acute. Sides of sternum and posterior coxae densely clothed with 

 recumbent, golden yellow pubescence. Tibiae slender, straight, and 

 the anterior and middle pairs armed with a very short tooth on inner 

 margin at apex. Posterior tarsi distinctly shorter than tibiae, and 

 the first joint about as long as the following three joints united. 

 Tarsal claws similar on all feet, cleft near the middle, the teeth nearly 

 equal in length, and the inner tooth turned slightly inward, but the 

 tips distant. 



Length, 10.5 mm.; width, 2.75 mm. 



Male. — Unknown. 



Type locality. — Garden City, Kans. 



Type.— Cat. No. 40993, U.S.N.M. 



Described from a single female collected at the type locality, 

 June 18, 1914, by F. B. Milliken. 



Superficially this species resembles granulatus Say very closely, 

 but in that species the front of head is densely pubescent and 

 scarcely depressed on the vertex; epistoma strongly transverse be- 

 tween the antennae; pronotum not conspicuously pubescent at the 

 sides, but with sharply defined prehumeral carinae; elytra more 

 distinctly pubescent; prosternal lobe arcuately emarginate at mid- 

 dle ; vertical portions of second abdominal segment glabrous ; pubes- 

 cence at sides of abdomen and sternum not so conspicuous, and the 

 inner tooth of the tarsal claws shorter than the outer one, and not 

 turned inward.
