526 TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



CYMINDIS Latr., Dej. 



1. C. PLATiCOLLis Say, (Lebia) Trans. Amer. Pliilos. Soc 

 vol. 2, new series. 



This species has been since described by Dej can under the 

 name of C. complanata. In my specimens the palpi are hardly 

 dilated. It varies in having the thorax darker and of the color 

 of the head. I obtained an individual in Indiana. 



2. C. LATicoLLis. — Blackish; thorax transverse; feet pale 

 rufous ; elytra with slender striae and minute punctures. 



Inhabits near the Rocky Mountains. 



Body black-brown, punctured, with short hairs : head ; 



thorax decidedly transverse, with numerous somewhat large punc- 

 tures ; truncate before, and a little sinuate behind ; margin each 

 side depressed and a little elevated, dull rufous ; at the posterior 

 an obvious tooth; elytra with very slender capillary strias in 

 which are minute punctures, which are larger and more obvious 

 towards the base and lateral margin ; interstitial lines with a 

 very slight convexity, and with numerous small punctures, rather 

 larger than those of the strisB ; lateral margin [414] obscure 

 rufous; tip truncate, without any appearance of sinuation : be- 

 neath obscure rufous, punctured ; feet rufous ; thighs and tro- 

 chanters paler. 



Length about two-fifths of an inch. 



I obtained it when on the expedition to the Rocky Mountains 

 with Major Long. The thorax is shaped somewhat like that of 

 americana, Dej., but is wider, as in platicollis, Say. The elytra 

 have not the slightest appearance of being sinuated at tip.
