AVhile no iiieiiiiier of this tribe has as yet Itcen taken in the State, 

 one, Dfisplidi/d Id ris Lee., ])robably occurs, having been desei-ibed 

 from Illinois. It is a small black or piceous species, with thorax 

 eylindrieal and elongate; elytra a little more than half the length of 

 abdomen, narrowed and dehiscent behind the middle, their tips 

 rounded, surface roughly punctate; legs yellow. Length 7 mm. It 

 is supposed, like allied species, to breed in hickory twigs. 



Family LIT I. CllKYSOMKLID.E. 

 The Leaf Beetles. 



A very large family of medium- or small-si/ed beetles, usually 

 short-bodied and moi-e or less oval in outline, with the antenna^ of 

 nmderate length, usually filiform, the joints often comparatively 

 stouter towards the lips. In color the beetles are often prettily 

 variegated, though some are wholly of a brilliant metallic blue or 

 green, while others are dull black or brown. All hav(> the legs short, 

 with tlu^ tarsi of the same type as in the ('erambycida% viz., the 

 fourth and fifth joints grown together, the foui'th usually vei-y 

 small and concealed in a notch in the third segment. (Fig. 498.) 



In addition to the general charaetei's above given, the species 

 agree in having the lat)ial ])a1pi :3-jointed; mentum transverse and 

 not large; nmxillary |)ali)i 4-jointed, cylindrical, rarely dilated or 

 elongate. Head either prominent and more or less constricted be- 

 hind (Eupodd) or inserted to the eyes; in the (Uissidiiii usually con- 

 cealed undcn- the shield-like thorax; eyes entire or feebly emarginate
