Cetosia II i.oiDA ( Fall.). ( I'late xii, fig. 4.) 



Bo«ly <le|>rfss«'d, ovate. Head small, Rreon nixivo : tlmnix IrianKular and l-rllliant grt<n, 



m:ir.;ineil with luti"iu< -, its .sides are al.so sliKhlly dilated ; liav slightly sinuous for 



the n'ception of the soutel, which is au i»os«'eIes triangle and green. Elytra luteuus, 



sometimes they show a greenish tint, truncat4>and deflexed l^ehind : at the deflexurv 



the.\ are prt>min< nt ; the prominence terminates nn olweure ridge which runs fnan the 



shoulders of the elUra; the suture is also elevated, so as to form a central ridge. 



Behind, the alhlomeu i-i tu:irke<l with four triangular mouldy si)ots : sjxits similar to 



tht-m- «'\tend along the sides of the a)«lomen ; legs luteous, g|i>ssy ; sides of the hreast 



hairy ; tarsi and Ita-^^'of the riiMts hrown, nearly Mack. Length six-tenths of an inch. 



This ins<'ct, which is very eiimmon in Maryland, is not v«ry numeMU*, as 1 have 



obs«T\ed, in New-Kngland and New York : it is more common in the paths in groves than 



•Isewhere.
