I06 CASEY 



impunctate, except some very fine sparse asperate punctules laterally, 

 in great part pale, each abdominal segment with a very large irregular 

 pale fascia which is sometimes medially interrupted, the fifth wholly 

 pale, except the tip and the lateral basal angles. Length 20.0 mm.; 

 width 6.5 mm. One specimen from Cab. Levette labeled "N. Y.," 

 but more probably from Colorado elongata n. sp. 



32 — Elytra each with three large discal pale spots, the anterior elongate, 

 oblong or oval and not attaining the base, the second transverse, at 

 three-fifths, extending nearly from suture to side margin, the third 

 feebly oblique, discal and near the apex. Body subparallel, rather 

 depressed, brassy-green, the elytra somewhat more obscure, the under 

 surface green with cupreous reflection; head strongly, densely punc- 

 tured, without callous spots even medially; antennce black, but feebly 

 metallic; prothorax three-fourths wider than long, the apex but slightly 

 narrower than the base, the sides subevenly, feebly arcuate; surface 

 without pale maculation of any kind above or beneath, coarsely and 

 not very closely punctate, without smooth or impressed line, with a 

 small ante-scutellar puncture; scutellum small, subtransverse, oval; 

 elytra twice as long as wide, distinctly wider than the prothorax, par- 

 allel, arcuately narrowed behind, the apices sinuate and strongly, 

 acutely bidentate; surface finely striate, the striae as mfasciata, punc- 

 tate, the punctures more visible viewed obliquely from the side than 

 from the suture, the intervals nearly flat, equal, finely and remotely 

 punctate; abdomen finely punctate, densely so laterally. Length 11.3 

 mm. ; width 4.0 mm. Michigan sexplagiata Lee . 



Elytra each with a conspicuous irregular pale fascia at three-fifths and a 

 small oblique subapical spot, also sometimes a small discal pale spot 

 at two-fifths from the base 2;^ 



33 — Sides of the prothorax incurvate at base and feebly swollen basally, 

 but thence moderately converging and nearly straight to the apex. 

 Body oblong-elongate, moderately convex, polished, cupreous, generally 

 more greenish anteriorly, sometimes obscure throughout, the under 

 surface bright cupreous to greenish or even violaceous in the dark 

 forms; head strongly but very unevenly punctate, the eyes prominent; 

 prothorax nearly twice as wide as long, the apex about four-fifths as 

 wide as the base, broadly, subevenly sinuate, the base feebly bisinuate; 

 surface coarsely, sparsely punctate, more closely laterally, feebly to not 

 at all impressed along the middle, generally with a small sublateral 

 rounded impression, the ante-scutcllar fovea conspicuous; scutellum 

 moderate, variable; elytra slightly more than twice as long as wide, 

 just visibly wider than the prothorax, parallel, arcuately narrowed 

 behind, the apices sinuate and strongly bispiculose; striiE rather strong, 

 evenly and closely punctate, the punctures on the inner slope of the 

 grooves, the intervals nearly flat though slightly incHned sutureward, 

 extremely minutely, remotely punctulate; abdomen with the basal 

 segment very faintly and indefinitely impressed along the middle, 

 finely, not very closely punctate, more strongly, densely so laterally; 

 basal joint of the hind tarsi unusually short, verj' much shorter than the
