error in saying "anterior spots always wanting." About half the 

 specimens I have seen have a small black humeral dot as well as the 

 post-median band and subapical spot.

 I regard as a variety of convergens. 



3046. H. convergens Gucr., 1846. North America. 



The pattern of maculation in this widely distributed species is six 

 spots on each elytron and a scutellar spot. The discal divergent lines 

 are usually well developed. The variations are : 



Elytra immaculate obsoleta Lee. 



Anterior and scutellar spots coalescent unnamed. 



Postmedian spots coalescent juncta Csy. 



All the spots enlarged and partly coalescent 15=niaculata Muls.

"This species has the form and size of our coxaxxxon H. parenthesis, hyx\.^c 

 thorax of H. convergens. The elytra are more elongate oval in form than in either, 

 and more obtusely rounded at tip ; the apical angle is also not at all acute, but on the 

 contrary, quite rounded. The spots of the elytra vary greatly ; the scutellar elongate 

 spot is sometimes prolonged on the sutural margin for two thirds the length ; the first 

 and second, or the second and third of the posterior spots are connected sometimes as 

 in varieties of H. parenthesis, and specimens will undoubtedly be found in which all 

 three are united to form an arcuated spot. It is also probable that H. sinuata Muls. 

 is an extreme form of this species. Long. .20. Oregon." 



I consider this a variety of sinuata to be separated as noted below. 



It seems as if Major Casey had somehow been misled in regard to 

 this species as his description does not coincide with that of Dr. Le- 

 conte and the locality (Colorado) cited is, in my belief, far from the 

 region inhabited by Leconte's species. Leconte's description is here 

 quoted. 



3048. H. oregonensis Cr., 1873. Oregon. 



Differs from the preceding by the absence of the discal divergent 

 lines on the thorax. I believe that this is a form of sinuata var. 

 spuria, but in the absence of sufficient specimens I am obliged to leave 

 the name in doubt.
