Pale design of the elytra never involving any part of the suture 5 



5 — Side edges of the prothorax finely serrulate, the punctures not very dense, unequal 

 as usual, moderately coarse toward the sides, which are narrowly expianate ; 

 elytra blackish-piceous, each with seven pale spots, one, quadrate, at the humeri, 

 one smaller, rounded, at inner third and basal fifth, one small rounded, at inner 

 fourth just behind the middle, one elongate, near the median line at four sevenths, 

 one very small, subattached to the last at outer and basal third, one transverse, 

 near the margin at three-fifths and one rather large, involving the apex. Length 

 3.6 mm. ; width 1. 7 mm. A'irginia serrulata, sp. nov. 



Side edges of the prothorax even, not at all serrulate, the sides more or less narrowly 

 expianate; abdomen ilnely and closely punctate 6 



6 — Body more elongate-oval, larger and more convex ; elytra each with a large sub- 

 (juadrate humeral pale spot not involving the callus, another, large and slightly 

 elongate-oval, very near the suture at basal sixth and narrowly connected with 

 the humeral, a narrow irregular spot near the center, extending along and scarcely 

 broader than the sixth interval from three-sevenths to slightly behind the middle 

 and then obliquely extending internally nearly to the suture at four-sevenths, 

 two submarginal spots, the anterior minute at two-fifths, the posterior larger and 

 transverse at three-fifths and a moderate subapical spot. Length 4.2-4.3 mm. ; 

 width 1.9 mm. New York picta, sp. nov. 



Body oblong-oval, rather depressed, black, the prothorax scarcely paler and more 

 transverse than in picta ; elytra of the male each with two large coalescent sub- 

 basal pale spots in oblique line and one, smaller, sublateral at one-fourth from 

 the base and frequently obsolete, also an oblique irregular fascia at or near apical 

 third, .sometimes obsolete or existing as two minute pale spots, and, finally, a 

 large subapical spot ; in the female the inner of the two subbasal spots is wholly 

 obsolete, only the humeral and subapical remaining, or, sometimes, with the two 

 minute pale spots in oblique line near apical third in addition. Length 3.7-4.2 

 mm. ; width I.75-I.9 mm. Indiana and North Carolina. 



subdepressa, sp. nov. 



7 — Body oblong-elongate, rather depressed and shining, the punctures finer than 

 usual ; elytra blackish, each with a large oblique subbasal spot, from the humeri 

 nearly to the suture at basal fourth, and a smaller transverse spot at apical fourth, 

 not attaining the suture or margin ; subapical pale spot wholly obsolete. Length 

 3.4-4.2 mm. ; width 1. 65-1. 8 mm. Washington State to California.

9 — Body black or piceous-black throughout above, the under surface, legs and an-

 pale spots, of which two on each, elongate-oval, disposed in oblique line near the
