Body ochreoiis, the elytra variegated with confused patches of dark 

 piceous-brown ; punctures of the elytral series much smaller. 



lobiceps Lee. 

 Supra-antennal tumidity obliquely angulate, the antennae more elongate ; tem- 

 pora short, the eyes very large ; body ochreous in color, the elytra varie- 

 gated with sublongitudinal patches of a darker brown. 

 Elytral series composed of large approximate quadrate punctures. 



concolor Westw. 



Elytral series composed of narrow, elongate punctures ; antenna; less 



elongate oculatus Casey. 



Priacma Lee. 



Dr. LeConte (10) characterized tliis genus as follows: 



" Since I have seen the Australian genus Omnia, I recognize in 

 Cupcs scrrata (Lee. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phila. 1861, p. 351) a dis- 

 tinct genus, intermediate between that and Cupcs. From the latter it 

 differs by the antennse less approximate at base, shorter and stouter, 

 scarcely half as long as the body, with the joints triangular and nar- 

 rower at the base, the first as long as but stouter than the 3d. The 

 eyes are much smaller, though nearly smooth; the under surface of 

 the head is quite different; gular sutures distant, curved slightly out- 

 wards, gular angles not porrected, but broad and truncate ; mentum 

 more prominent, maxillre more exposed, maxillary palpi longer, last 

 joint elongate, cylindrical, truncate. These differences were partly 

 indicated by me in the remarks appended to the description of the 

 species. The color is mottled gray; head with four subacute tubercles, 

 but not lobed, front concave. Prothorax nearly square, with front 

 angles prominent ; elytra more convex, alternate interspaces feebly 

 convex and a little uneven; side margins strongly toothed towards 

 the tip." 



Priacma serrata Lee. (8). 



■' Reddish brown, marked irregularly with black variegated with gray and 

 black squamulae ; front concave ; thorax transverse with parallel sides, anterior 

 angles acute and divergent, apex towards the middle broadly and slightly pro- 

 jecting, closely punctuated, grooved, anteriorly and posteriorly transversely im- 

 pressed ; elytra cylindrical, serial foveje quadrate and cancellate, sides towards 

 the apex armed with acute spinulw in two series ; eyes small ; antennae shorter 

 than half the length of the body, ringed with ash and black color. Length 

 .43-.82."
