One female, from Nebraska, given me by Mr. Ulke. A very 

 distinct species, having the elytra deeply but not coarsely punc- 

 tured, very much as in G. tricolor. 



336. C. insuiatus. Niger, capite punctulato, clypeo pallido, thorace 

 parce subtiliter punctulato, rufo, vitta dorsali lata nigra ; elytris parce 

 subtilius punctatis, rufis, singulo macula basali postice rotundata, basin 

 totam occupante, alteraque pone medium nee suturam nee marginem 

 attingente nigris, tibiis tarsisque rufis ; antennis articulo 1-3 testaceis 

 nigro-maculatis. Long. -17. 



One female, from California, in bad state of preservation: the 

 pubescence has been in great part removed, but enough remains 

 to show that it was of the usual kind, short ashy prostrate hairs, 

 with longer erect black ones intermixed : the basal spot extends 

 about one-sixth the length of the elytra, and occupies the whole 

 base from the outer margin to and including the scutellum, and 

 is rounded behind on each elytron ; the posterior spot is elliptical, 

 and extends from the middle to about one-eighth from the tip, 

 reaching neither the suture nor the side ; the punctures are fine 

 and distant, as in C. punctulatus Lee. 



ATTALUS Er.

 capite thoraceque lsevibus, hoc latitudine sesqui breviore, convexo, 

 tenuiter marginato, apice subtruncato, basi cum angulis posticis rotun- 

 datis ; elytris parce punctulatis postice paulo dilatatis, macula humerali 

 nigra ornatis ; postpectore nigro, pedibus posticis nigricantibus basi 

 rufis ; antennis nigris basi rufis. Long. *13.
