NORTH AMERICAN BUPRESTID BEETLES 333 



not quite so strongly granulose, and scarcely pubescent behind the 

 epistoma; abdomen slightly visible from above, the prosternum not 

 clothed with long, erect hairs, and the tibiae unarmed at apex. 



Kedescribed from a male collected by Hubbard and Schwarz, at 

 Detroit, Mich., and now in the United States National Museum col- 

 lection. Since the type of this species has been lost, I am designating 

 the male from which the above description was made as the neotype. 



Type locality. — Indiana (Posey County). 



DISTRIBUTION 



Material examined :

Vermont: Bennington County ( ). 



It has been recorded from Ohio, but no specimens have been examined from 



that State. 



Variations. — The color is rather constant, but some examples are 

 slightly more cupreous than others. In some specimens the pronotum 

 is widest at the middle, and the sides are regularly, arcuately 

 rounded, whereas in others, the sides are nearly parallel to each other 

 from the apical angles to basal third, then obliquely narrowed to the 

 posterior angles. The discal costae on the elytra vary considerably 

 in distinctness, and are sometimes nearly absent. In the neotype 

 there are two small round depressions placed transversely at middle 

 of pronotum, which are not mentioned in the above description, as 

 they are probably abnormal and were not seen on any of the other 

 specimens. Length, 3.5 to 4.5 millimeters. 



Host. — The larval habits of this species are not known, but the 

 adults have been collected in numbers by L. B. Woodruff in Alabama, 

 on sugar maple (Acer saccharurn Marshall).
