AITIPHIOJIIYCHA Leg. 



A. ardens, minus elongata cylindrica, atra, pube nigra erecta vestita, capite frontc vittisque dua- 

 bus postice divergeutibus Icete flammeo-pubescentibus, thorace supra flammeo-pubescente, yitta 

 dorsali atra, latitudine sesqiii breviore, lateribus parum sinuatis, elytris thorace paulo latioribus 

 grosse punctatis, inargiue laterali ad humeros latiore, et ad dodrantem extenso ornatis. Long. 

 •35. 

 Fort Riley: John Xantus, Esq. Broader than A. flammata, and readily dis- 

 tinguished by the thorax being one half broader than its length, with the lateral 

 vittte much wider. 



Also allied to these two is a third species found in Northern New York, and in 

 New Hampshire; for specimens of it I am indebted to Mr. Henry Ulke, it may be 

 thus characterized : — 



A. SUbarniata, minus elongata cylindrica, atra, pube nigra erecta vestita, capite flammeo-pubes- 

 cente, thorace latitudine vix breviore, lateribus sinuatis, medio tuberculo acuto proiainulo arraatis, 

 vitta angusta sublaterali flammeo-pubescente, elytris grosse punctatis juxta suturam late sulcatis, 

 sutura magis elevata. Long. '26 — "28.

.33. spectabilis, niger subtiliter dense cinereo fuscoque pubescens, thorace fusco maculis albis con- 

 fluentibus utriuque ornato, elytris basi fasciisque tribus undulatis obliquis fuscis (intermedia 

 latiore) notatis, pedibus fusco -annulatis, antennis longissimis cinereis, articulis 1 — 5 subtus dense 

 pubescentibus, apice fuscis, 5to fasciculo apicali recurvato iutenio ornato. Long. -QL Tab. II,

Fort Union : one specimen : Major Sibley. The figure renders unnecessary any 

 farther description of this beautiful species. 



LEinA Fabr. 



li. triTir^ata, elongatula, parallela, testacea nitida, antennis (articulo primo e.xcepto) thoracis 



maculis duabus (capitisque lateribus, abdominisque maculis Sffipe), tibiarum apice tarsisque nigris; 

 thorace latitudine longiore, medio valde coarctato, antice grossius parce punctate; elytris fortius 

 punctato-striatis, interstitiis postice hand elevatis, vitta suturali alteraque submarginali angustis 

 nigris. Long. -SL 



Santa F6 : Mr. Fendler. Similar in appearance to L. trilineata, but known at 

 once by the larger punctures of the thorax and elytra. The thorax is also more 

 deeply constricted at the middle, and the outer vitta of the elytra is always nar- 

 rower, usually extending only from the 9th to the 10th stria; in one specimen this 

 vitta is interrupted behind the humerus. In another the second and third joints 

 of the abdomen are marked each with a medial transverse black spot, and the occi- 

 put and two posterior spots of the head are black.
