214 DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 



Antennas stouter, 6th joint of, with large impression in £ . 



6. BRUNNICORNIS D. Sp. 



Antennae more slender, joints 3 — 5 longer, 6th without impression in 

 either sex. 7. sinuatus. 



1. T. badius Newm. Entomologist, 69. This species resembles 

 T. velutinus, in the color of the elytra, but has the prothorax 

 very coarsely punctured as in T. zebratus. In form it is similar 

 to the latter but the elytra are more obliquely truncate at tip and 

 more acutely acuminate, and the sides of the prothorax are feebly 

 sinuate. Specimens may perhaps occur with perfect yellow eiy- 

 tral bands, but in the individual before me only a few traces re- 

 main. One % from Florida was kindly given me in exchange by 

 the British Museum.

540. T. bruiiilicornis. Niger, pallide pubescens, abdomine pedibus- 

 que ferrugineis, prothorace latitudine paulo breviore, a basi antrorsum 

 angustato, lateribus ante medium rotundatis, confertim fortiter punc- 

 tato,basi densius pubeseente; elytris punctatis, punctis postice subtili- 

 oribus, subtiliter pubescentibus, apice truueatis, nigris, fascia lata basali 

 alterisque tribus fiavis ; antennis fuscis basi ferrugineis. Articulo 5to 

 apice latiore, sequentibus impressis. Long. 10 — 13 mm. 



Texas ; three males ; the 2d and 3d elytral bands are a little 

 wider towards the suture, which they do not quite reach ; the 

 hindermost band is a spot, also wider towards the suture but 

 attains neither it nor the side margin ; the tip is truncate not at 

 all toothed. 



This species exactly resembles in form and sculpture T. sinua- 

 tus, but differs by the elytra being more shining, and less pubes- 

 cent, and by the antenna? being stouter, with the joints 3 — 5 ob- 

 viously less slender, the 5th distinctly dilated at the outer end 

 like the following joints, all of which are furnished with sensitive 

 spaces. 



7. T. sinuatus Lee, 1. c. 335, Leptura sinuata Newm. Ste- 

 nura 8-notata Hald. Varies greatly, the bands of the elytra 

 being more or less developed, and the ground color either black or
