134 CASEY 



large though feeble, cariniform near the semicircularly emarginate 

 apices ; under surface ( 9 ) deeply impressed throughout the sterna and 

 first ventral, the sinus of the fiJfth deep, with the median tooth long, 

 very slender and aciculate. Length (9) i6.8 mm.; width 5.9 mm. 

 Indiana sagax n. sp. 



Form nearly similar, shining, obscure to bright cupreous above, not brighter 

 beneath ; head nearly similar but without so distinct a central callus, sub- 

 glabrous, the eyes relatively not quite so large or prominent though more 

 so than usual; prothorax similar but broadly rounding at the sides and 

 more gradually narrowing anteriorly from only a little before the middle, 

 the sides parallel and subsinuate behind the middle; surface sculptured 

 as in sagax but with the medial feebly impressed and densely punctate 

 subapical spot shorter and better defined, and with large diffuse obhque 

 sublateral impressions of the disk behind the middle; scutellum sim- 

 ilarly distinct, rounded; elytra very evidently more than t\\ice as long 

 as wide, not so inflated behind the middle, more strongly though sim- 

 ilarly sculptured, the densely punctate areas deeper, the callous spots 

 stronger, especially in the sublateral series behind the middle; there are 

 also more or less evident, scarcely impressed series of coarser punctures; 

 under surface ( 9 ) nearly similar, except that the medial tooth of the 

 apical sinus, though variable in length, is truncate at tip, sometimes 

 broadly so. Length (9) 17.5 mm.; width 6.0-6.3 ^^- Florida. 



florid£B n. sp. 



9 — Oblique sides of the elytra posteriorly becoming straight or virtually 

 so toward the apices. Grayish-brassy in color; prothorax shorter than 

 wide, narrowed anteriorly, the sides broadly rounded, subparallel 

 behind the middle, the surface roughly punctate, confluently toward the 

 sides, sparsely at the middle, with an obsolete and nearly smooth vitta 

 near each side, the median line somewhat impressed, more densely 

 punctate, the channel being more evident than in ohscura; elytra rugosely 

 punctate, the striae toward the suture and apex more strongly punctured, 

 the intervals variegated with irregular elevated black spaces, more 

 irregular than in ohscura, being rather portions left between confluent 

 punctures than oblong areas, the apices gradually attenuate, not at 

 all prolonged, bidentate. Length 15.0 mm. (9). Pennsylvania. 



soror Lee. 



A — Cupreous, the elevations greenish-black; under surface obscure 

 cupreous-red; head coarsely, very densely punctate, with callous 

 spots in a general broad transverse line between the eyes and above 

 the middle of the front; prothorax three-fifths wider than long, the 

 sides straight and parallel, gradually rounding and converging to the 

 apex from a little before the middle, the surface almost evenly but 

 only moderately convex, coarsely, densely punctured laterally, with 

 numerous smooth, very irregular raised spaces, more finely, sparsely 

 so medially, with the densely punctate median line impressed ante- 

 riorly but not elsewhere; ante-scutellar pit diffused on the margin; 

 elytra more than twice as long as wide, but little wider than the pro- 

 thorax, gradually narrowing behind in fully apical two-fifths, the
