DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 229 



Oregon and Washington Territory ; one pair. The antennae 

 in the male are slender, nearly four-Gfths the length of the 

 body ; scarcely more than half the length of the body in the 9. 



This and L. cubitalia form a peculiar group in the genus, hav- 

 ing the eyes scarcely emarginate on the inner margin, and the 

 3d joint of the tarsi broader and more deeply bilobed than usual, 

 agreeing in these characters with Acmoeops ; the head is much 

 less constricted behind than in other Lepturge, although it is 

 suddenly narrowed, and the angles are rectangular and rounded, 

 almost as in Encyclops ; the front is, however, not vertical, the 

 transverse impression is deep, the genoa rather short, the epistoma 

 and mouth moderately long ; the last joint of the palpi is but 

 feebly dilated, and squarely truncate, longer than the preceding, 

 as usual. 



I would associate these species with the 2d division of Ac- 

 ma3ops, but the antenna? seem to be inserted rather behind the 

 line joining the front of the eyes, as in other Lepturae, and the 

 general appearance is more suggestive of the latter genus. They 

 would, however, be ecpaally well placed in either.
