side of the scutellum. one at outer fourth and one-sixth from the base, two at 

 inner fourth in line with the basal spot at two- sevenths and one-half from the 

 base, and one, transverse, near the margin at three-fifths ; body oblong-oval, 

 piceous-black throughout, the prothorax a little less than twice as wide as long, 

 with the sides feebly convergent and feebly arcuate, only slightly wider behind 

 the middle than at base, the punctures rather fine, close-set and unequal, with 

 coarse punctures intermingled toward the sides ; elytral striae feebly impressed 

 but stroQgly punctured, distinct nearly to the extreme apex ; abdomen finely but 

 not densely punctate ; legs blackish, the tarsi paler. Length 5.0 mm.; width 

 2.1 mm. British Columbia notatula, sp. nov. 



Eh+ra with ver\- narrow sinuous bands of grayish pubescence at basal third and be- 

 hind the middle, and also an apical spot, the posterior band bifurcating near the 

 middle of each elytron, sending one branch forward the other backward to the 

 side margin ; body otherwise nearly similar to notatida. Length [50 mm.]. 

 New Hampshire (White Mts. ) tenuifasciata Horn 



14 — Body moderately stout, oval, strongly convex, piceous-black, the legs and an- 

 tennee paler ; prothorax distinctly less than twice as wide as long, the sides 

 strongly convergent throughout, but very feebly arcuate, obsoletely serrulate, ob- 

 liquely convergent near the base to the basal angles, which are very obtuse ; disk 

 convex, very coarsely, almost equally punctate, not densely toward the middle but 

 closeh' laterally ; eh'tra sparsely pubescent, with impressed entire stride of coarse 

 deep punctures, each with an iiTegular pale oblique subbasal fascia from the hu- 

 meri nearly to the suture, another, oblique in contrary' sense, at three-fifths and 

 not attaining the suture and an oval, margino-median and a subapical spot.

Cotifusa and tenuifasciata I have not seen, and the characters are 

 drav\-n from the descriptions. Pliiriguttata is a very aberrant species, 

 ^vith the 3-jointed chib very much feebler than in the others of that 

 section and with a very complex male intromittent organ, consisting 

 of a gradually narrowed thin basal piece, arcuate in plane, with an 

 apical appendage curved sharply in contrary sense, and having two 

 posteriorly diverging, rapidly and finely acuminate basal al^e and a 

 terminal asymmetric button. 



Typhsea Curtis. 



Closely related to Tritoma and distinguished by the much smaller 

 size of the body and the form of the eyes. The single species seems 

 to be cosmopolitan : — 



Xarrowh' oblong-oval, moderately convex, pale flavo-testaceous throughout, the elytra 

 rarely piceous ; antennae with a 3-jointed club, distinctly shorter than the head and 

 prothorax, the latter about twice as wide as long, with the apex but little nar- 

 rower than the base and the sides arcuate, the punctures fine, subequal and 

 rather close-set ; elytra finely punctate, with miimpressed series of fine pimctures
