2. A. STRIGATUS. — Black, clypcus convex on the disk. ; feet 

 dark piceous. 



Inhabits the United States. 



iS'drcifj. stn'i/(i/us Knoch in Melsh. Catal. 



Body deep black, immaculate: clypeus with very minute punc- 

 tures and larger ones at the base; anteriorly emarj^inate; middle 

 of the disk convex : thorax with rather large punctures, which 

 are remote on the disk and more numerous each side;, posterior 

 angles very obtusely rounded : elytra profoundly [213] striated, 

 striae punctured; interstitial spaces convex: beneath black: feet 

 piceous towards their extremities. 



Length nearly one-fifth of an inch. 



Rather a common species; it is found in Pennsylvania and as 

 far west as the Rocky Mountains. It is longer in proportion to 

 its width tlian ^1. frrmutit/is. 



[A species of Euparin. — Lec] 



3. A. TERMiNALis. — Black, tip of the elytra and feet rufous; 

 clypeus trituberculate. 



Inhabits the United States. 



Scdrdbseiis stcrcoirits Melsh. Catal. 



Body black : clypeus with numerous distinct approximate 

 punctures ; three small tuberculi, placed in a transverse line, the 

 intermediate one rather largest; anteriorly emarginate : thorax 

 punctured, punctures subequal and e(|ually distributed ; posterior 

 angles subangulated, not obtusely rounded : scutel slightly ele- 

 vated into a longitudinal line on the posterior disk : elytra with 

 punctured stria;; interstitial spaces perfectly flat; tip with a 

 large, common, obscure, rufous spot, sometimes obsolete, or di- 

 vided into two distant ones : beneath blackish : feet rufous black- 

 ish at base. 



Length more than three-twentieths of an inch. 



The term sfcrcorem of Melsh. being preoccupied, I have ap- 

 plied to this species that of (cryninalis. It is readily distinguish- 

 able from our other species by the trituberculate clypeus, and the 

 uniformly distributed punctures of the thorax. 



4. A. TENELLA. — Black; elytra and feet rufous. 

 Inhabits the United States. •
