Missouri : No definite locality. 



Nebraska: West Point, June, 1888 (L. C. Brunei-). 



Ohio: Columbus, June, July (J. N. Knull). 



Oklahoma: Lawton, June 10, 1917 (G. W. Barber). 



Pennsylvania: Jeannette, July 1 (H. G. Klages). 



South Carolina: Clemson College, June 29, 1926 (J. O. Pepper). 



Variations. — The color varies from bronzy green to brownish cu- 

 preous, the pubescent spots are more or less abraded in some exam- 

 ples, and occasionally these spots are obsolete. Length 3.75 to 4.75 

 millimeters. 



Host. — Nothing is known of the larval habits of the species, but 

 the adults have been collected by Bruner in Nebraska on honey locust 

 (Gleditsia triacanthos Linnaeus). 



This species is very closely allied to pseudofattax Frost, but the 

 pubescent spots on the elytra are not very distinct and the median 

 ones are elongate, the median depression on the pronotum is obsolete, 

 the front of the head in the female is bronzy green, and the sides of 

 the male genitalia are strongly, arcuately expanded near the apex, 

 whereas in pseudofallax the pubescent spots on the elytra are dis- 

 tinct and the median ones rounded, the median depression on pro- 

 notum is distinct, the front of the head in the female is mahogany 

 red, and the sides of the male genitalia are nearly parallel to each 

 other.

Male. — Form similar to lecontei; head dark bronzy green, becom- 

 ing brownish cupreous on occiput, and strongly shining; pronotum 

 and elytra dark bronzy brown or piceous, more or less cupreous, with 

 a vague, bluish black facia behind middle, and the elytra ornamented 

 with pubescent designs ; beneath brownish or reddish cupreous, with 

 a feeble greenish reflection. 



Head with the front rather wide, slightly convex, about equal in 

 width at bottom and top, the lateral margins nearly parallel, and 

 with a feeble, broad, longitudinal depression extending from occiput 

 to epistoma, in front of which it is more broadly depressed ; surface 

 sparsely, coarsely punctate, coarsely, irregularly rugose, the rugae 

 becoming somewhat longitudinal on the occiput, and clothed with a 

 few short, inconspicuous hairs ; epistoma strongly transverse between 

 the antennae, and broadly, deeply, arcuately emarginate in front; 

 antennae scarcely extending to middle of pronotum, serrate from the 

 fifth joint, and the outer joints about as wide as long; eyes moder-
