short transverse spot at apical fourth or fifth ; subhunieral spot completely obsolete 

 the punctures rather strong and close set. 



'■'■ Elytral sulttre broadly black from the rhomboidal scutellar spot to the apex, 

 toward which the vitta is noticeably broader. Length, 5.7 mm. = .23 inch." 



Occurs in Colorado. 



I have not seen this variety — Italics in the description quoted 

 above are mine. 



3059. C. transverso^uttata FahL, 1835, Mem. Ac. Petr., II, p. 454. [j- 



notata Kirby.] 



Hemispherical, black, alutaceous, very obsoletely punctulate ; meso-epimera only 

 white ; elytra orange with a subbasal common fascia, a transverse medial spot near 

 the suture and another towards the apex near the margin, black ; suture of the elytra 

 never black ; apical margin of thorax not white ; head with two pale spots. The 

 elytral markings subject to much variation. Length, 6-7.5 '""^- = •24-- 30 inch. 



Occurs over a wide range, Massachusetts, Ontario, Colorado, Utah^

The following varieties have been described : 



30593. Var. nugatoria Muls., 1851, Spec, p. 102 1. 



Basal band reduced to scutellar spots and two subhumeral spots. 



The name transversalis used in the check list is preoccupied. 



Occurs in Utah and Colorado. 



3061. Var. prolongata 6>., 1873, 1. c, p. 371. 



"Very like 6". ^-nolata (^ = Iransversoguttata'), and intermediate between it and 

 C. monticola, punctuation more obsolete (much as in C. g-ttotata) ; elytra as in the 

 y&nety l>a>is2'ersa lis {^= nugatoria), the humeral spot never present, but often with 

 a small submarginal spot beyond the medial one (one even with a medial fascia). 

 Length, .27-. 29 inch. Utah, Kansas, California. 



" This differs from the others by the anterior angles of the thorax, the white spot 

 is prolonged acutely on the disc, and the margin is often nanowly white." 



Basal band reduced to scutellar spot ; medial spot extending nearly across the 

 elytra, complete or broken, suture not black. 



. Var. impressa Casey, 1899, 1. c, p. 89. 



" Scutellar spot large, transversely suboval or elliptical, the subhumeral always 

 wanting ; suture never black ; pronotum polished, the minute punctures well sepa- 

 rated, the pale spot at the apical angles moderate in size and subquadrate ; elytra each 

 with a long oblique .spot just before the middle and another shorter near the apex ; 

 submedian oblique fascia tending to disintegrate into an outer, smaller and inner and 

 larger spot ; body more broadly oval, polished, strongly punctured toward the sides 

 of the elytra, the impression along the side margin of the pronotum extending arcu- 

 ately inward just before the middle, disappearing at some distance from the edge ; 

 inner part of the abdominal plates acutely angulate behind. Length, 6.4 mm. ; width, 

 5 o mm. California."
