6. E. CYLiNDRiFORMis nob. — In tlie description " a promi- 

 nent edge above the antennae, which disappears before ;" instead 

 of the three last words, read, which is obtu.sely cniarfrinatc. The 

 head, thorax and base of the elytra have rather long, jirostrutc 

 hairs ; the remainder of the elytra has short hairs. Tarsi simply 

 hairy beneath. 



It may be referred to the genus Ctimjn/Ius Fischt-r, Ijut the 

 head is inserted nearly to the eyes in the thorax ; and the palpi 

 are hardly filiform. 



[Belongs to Lnnonins. — Lkc] [167] 



7. E. UUBRICOLLIS Ilerbst, Nob. (Journ. Acad. Nat. Sc). 

 This is the vertiti'nus Beauvois, but I do not know which haa 

 the priority.* 



8. E. LIMBALIS. — Thorax fulvous, disk black ; elytra black- 

 ish, with a testaceous margin. 



Inhabits United States. 



Head blackish ; antennae wide, deeply serrate ; three basal 

 joints taken together not longer than the fourth joint; second 

 and third very short, equal, transverse; thorax fulvous testaceous ; 

 disc in the middle, basal and posterior part of the lateral margin 

 black ; elytra testaceous all around, and blackish along the mid- 

 dle : beneath black piceous ; pectus with an oblique, fulvous spot 

 near the posterior angles ; feet piceous. 



Length less than half an inch. 



This is the limbalis of Melsh. Catal., and I have it noted in 

 my ^ISS. interrogatively as the limhah's of Ilerbst, but I have 

 not now his work to refer to. 



0. E, ECTTPUS. — Blackish brassy; antenna; and feet rufous ; 

 thoracic spines very short. 



Inhabits United States. 



Blackish or dark brown, tinged with bra.ssy ; elypeus very ob- 

 tuse, almost truncated before, not appressed ; above plane, with 

 two obsolete indented lines ; antennae dark rufous, not dilated, 

 and hardly serrate ; second joint more than two-thirds the length 



* Dr. Harris remarks that Herbst's name undoubtedly has the priority ; 

 for that of Palisot do Beauvois does not seem to have been sanctioned 

 by a description.
