Varies entirely black, also entirely pale, with the antennae and 

 parts of the legs dark. Specimens of hdeicornis sometimes are 

 called by this name when the elytral bands are incomplete, but the 

 two species may be separated by the color of the antennae instantly, 

 which is black or nearly so in famelica and always pale in bdeicor-nis.

TYPOCERUS LeConte. 

 This genus contains a niunber of species exactly like Lcptura 

 in general form and in coloring, but differing by the large, impressed, 

 poriferous spaces on the antennae. The following synopsis follows 

 that of Dr. LeConte (S. M. C. No. 264, p. 213), and includes the 

 species since described. 



Synopsis. 



A. — Antenn:e black, with sixth and following joints with impressed poriferous 

 spaces; prothorax not strongly rounded on the sides. 

 Prothorax very coarsely punctured. 

 Prothorax margined before and behind with golden hair, legs ferruginous. 

 Elytra acutely acuminate, with indistinct yellow bands; prothorax nar- 

 rowed from the base, sides subsinuate badius.
