Dr. Horn says in reference to this -'An extremely variable species 

 which, with the mass of material before me, is not capable of division." 



Of the synonyms named above brevipennis was applied to a very 

 fresh specimen with soft abdomen, lulosus to one with elytra entirely yel- 

 low and the others to the different forms which commonly occur and we 

 figure the arrangement of bands in each. 

 The colors are yellow and black.

Bull. p. 48, 9 • 



Length 22 mm. =.88 ins. Hab. Arizona. 



Color black, elytra with reddish gray and white bands; easily known 

 by the peculiar arrangement of elytral bands.

 Black with yellow bands. 



CALLOIDES Lee. 



Contains two species very closely allied. 



Elytra with a vague depressed transverse band, Lorquinii. 



Elytra without band, nobilis.

Length 20-23 mm. =.80-. 92 ins. Hab. U. S. Brown or black, elytra gener- 

 ally marked yellow as in figure but sometimes immaculate. 



C. Lorquinii Buq. Ann. Fr. 1859, p. 629. 

 Length 22 mm.=88 ins. Hab. California. 



Black without markings. It scarcely differs from the preceding ex- 

 cept in the elytral depressed band. There is a difference in thoracic 

 sculpture, difficult and misleading to describe.

 Length 12-18 mm. =48-72 ins. Hab. U. S. 

 Black with white pubescence. 



CLYTUS Laich. 

 This genus as here restricted contains only those species without 

 either narrow episterna, frontal carina or thoracic rugae. I have inclu- 

 ded planifrons because that species presents none of the characters used
