Variations. — None worthy of note has been observed in the few 

 specimens examined. 



Host. — The larval habits are unknown, but the adults have been 

 taken by beating the branches of black oak (Quercus sp.) 



This species can be easily separated from all other known North 

 American species having the antennae serrate from the fourth joint, 

 the claws not incurved, and the pygidium with a projecting carina, by 

 the six very distinct golden yellow pubescent spots on the elytra.
