32. E. OBLIQUUS. — Piceous; thoracic disk and elytra blackish ; 

 the latter with an oblique spot before the middle. 



Inhabits Indiana. 



Body yellowish-piceous, punctured, with yellowish hairs : head 

 black : clypeus not much elevated, obtusely angulated at tip : la- 

 brum piceous : antennae distinctly serrate ; second joint two-thirds 

 the length of the third ; fourth to tenth subequal ; ultimate one 

 not suddenly contracted near the tip : thorax blackish on the 

 disk ; lateral edge arcuated near the anterior angles, rectilinear 

 from before the middle to the tip of the spines ; spines moderate, 

 not distinctly carinate : elytra with punctured striae, and slightly 

 punctured interstitial lines; a very oblique yellowish band from 

 the humerus, gradually dilating to the suture, and terminating 

 before the middle, leaving a rather large black scutellar area : 

 pectus paler than the postpectus : feet paler than the pectus : tarsi 

 and nails simple : venter with an obsolete darker vitta each side. 



Length nearly one-fifth of an inch. 



This species somewhat resembles the areolatus nob. 



To this division of the genus must be added those species which 

 I have described under the following names, viz. : — hadius, erosus, 

 rotundicoUis, plehejus, erytrojms, collaris, ruhricus, mendica, sila- 

 ceus, quercinus, hasilarisj and areolatus, as well as the stigma and 

 nigricollis of Herbst.

36. E. LOBATUS nob.- — This species Germar thinks is the cas- 

 tanipes Herbst. ; but it certainly cannot be castinipes Fabr. The 

 anterior part of the clypeus agrees with that of Campylus Fischer. 



37. E. BILOBATUS. — Dark chestnut; front indented; spines 

 obtuse ; second and third joints of the tarsi lobed beneath. 



Inhabits Indiana. 



Body dark chestnut, punctured, with numerous short hairs : 

 head [175] with large, very dense punctures : front a little con- 

 cave : clypeus not prominent, rather depressed between the an- 

 tennae : antennae a little paler; second joint rather more than half 

 as long as the third ; terminal joint abruptly smaller near the
