A very variable species. The legs may be red or black or anything 

 between. The suture may not bear a trace of black or it may be more 

 or less black up to the form Pearsalli in which the apical third of the 

 Elytra is black. The thorax is occasionally black. (PI. IV, f. 15.) 



OXO PL US Lee. 



The species ol~ this and following genera have the scutellum small 

 and acutely triangular. The species of Oxoplus are colored red and 

 black and differ from Tylosis by having the sides of prothorax obtusely 

 spinose and disk without callosities. The following synopsis by Dr. Geo. 

 H Hum is extracted from Trans. Am. lint. Soc. XII, May 1885. 



SYNOPSIS OF OXOPLUS 



Thorax black, the tips of tubercles red: 

 Elytra very densely punctate, color black, tin- basal margin and the side three- 

 fourths to apex red; body beneath at middle and entire abdomen red; apices of 



elytra rj 1 sinuately truncate, sutural angle rounded marginatus. 



Thorax red, the apical and basal margins somewhat narrowly black. 

 Abdomen red. 

 Elytra black, broadly margined with red at base which extends down the side 

 three-fourths to apex; surface densely rather finely punctate; apices sin- 

 uously truncate, sutural angle obtuse; body beneath red, sides of meso- and 



metasternum browner cruentus. 



Elytra in great part red, a broad black band extending from the apex nearly two 

 thirds to base; surface rather coarsely not densely punctured; apices trun-
