paler than the disk : scutel pale : elytra with acute impressed 

 striae ; a rather large, oval, pale spot somewhat before the middle, 

 chiefly included between the second and third .striic : beneath 

 rufous. 



Len-^th more than one-tenth (it'aii inch. 



This is a cunimon insect. It is so much like the C. hipustufn- 

 (us ot" Panzer, that we find some hesitation in admitting it to a 

 distinct rank. That species, however, judging from Panzer's 

 figure, has the lateral [268] edges of the thorax obviously 

 crenate, and the pale elytra spot is much larger than iu the pre- 

 sent species. 



[This species belongs to LxmnjMiriis. — Lec] 



2. C. MODESTA. — Reddish-brown ; antennjc more thau half 

 the length of the body; thorax with a lateral impressed line ; 

 elytra with punctured striai. 



Head and thorax reddish-brown, with numerous small punc- 

 tures ; the latter somewhat rounded, hardly narrower behind, 

 with an obvious impres.sed longitudinal line tm each lateral sub- 

 maririn : antennae considerably more than half the length of tho 

 body : elytra rather shorter than the abdomen, pale testaceous, 

 immaculate ; striae obtuse, hardly impressed, with large punc- 

 tures : beneath reddish-brown. 



JiCiigtli more than one-twentieth of an inch. 



This small species occurs in East Florida, and was obtained by 

 Mr. Maclure's party. It is about equal in size to C. icsttiri us 

 Fabr., of Europe, but is a very difi"erent species. In the form 

 of its antennae, this species approaches the '^cnus Brouics.
