NORTH AMERICAN BUPRESTID BEETLES 137 



pubescence, one in basal depression, one just in front of middle, the 

 other near apical third, and with a few short, cinerous hairs along 

 sutural margin at apex. 



Abdomen beneath finely, sparsely punctate at middle, more densely 

 toward the sides, and somewhat transversely rugose on basal segment, 

 sparsely clothed with short, semierect, cinereous hairs, and with a 

 spot of longer, more densely placed golden yellow pubescence at the 

 sides of the third and fourth segments; first segment vaguely flat- 

 tened at middle, and the second without a median groove; last seg- 

 ment subtruncate at apex ; vertical portions of the segments densely 

 clothed with long, recumbent, golden yellow pubescence, except the 

 second, which is glabrous; pygidium strongly carinate, the carina 

 projecting and truncate at apex. Presternum sparsely, coarsely 

 punctate, more or less rugose, and sparsely clothed with short, semi- 

 erect, cinereous hairs; prosternal lobe broad, moderately declivous, 

 and broadly subtruncate in front ; prosternal process broad, the sides 

 parallel to behind the coxal cavities, then rounded to the apex, which 

 is acute. Tibiae slender, straight, and without a distinct tooth at 

 apex. Posterior tarsi nearly as long as the tibiae, and the first joint 

 as long as the following three joints united. Tarsal claws similar on 

 all feet, cleft near the middle, the inner tooth slender, shorter than 

 outer one, and turned inward, but the tips distant. 



Length, 11.5 mm. ; width, 3 mm. 



Male. — Differs from the female in being more slender, front of 

 head bronzy green, slightly more pubescent, narrower, and the lateral 

 margins more strongly, arcuately expanded at vertex; eyes more 

 broadly elongate, and slightly more broadly rounded beneath than 

 above; prosternum sparsely clothed with moderately long, semierect, 

 white hairs, and the prosternal lobe more broadly rounded in front ; 

 first abdominal segment feebly, broadly concave at middle, and the 

 second with a rather broad, deep, smooth depression extending from 

 anterior margin to middle of segment; anterior and middle tibiae 

 armed with a short tooth on inner margin at apex ; tarsal claws dis- 

 similar, anterior and middle claws cleft near tip, about equal in 

 length, and not turned inward, posterior claws cleft near the middle, 

 the inner tooth shorter than outer one, and turned inward, but the 

 tips distant. Genitalia not examined. 



Length, 8.5 mm. ; width, 2 mm.
