Griffith's Translation of Cuvner's Animal Kingdom, under the name of Clytus 

 Hayii, G. R. Gray. The last name, of course, must sink into a synonyme. The 

 speciosiis, besides being larger, has the thorax fasciated, and the elytral bands 

 and spots differently arranged, and is otherwise sufficiently distinct from our 

 C. nobilis." (This is 6174 [Henshaw], Calloides nobilis Harris.) 



Page 85. "22. Stenocorus ? linearis. Plate I, fig. 8. 



"Testaceous; elj'tra paler, elongated-linear, separately [page 86] subacum- 

 nated; antennae pilose; thorax unarmed, abruptly constricted behind. 



"Length from 44 to 57 hundredths of an inch. 



" Halsey's Collection, No. 140. 



"Body testaceous, pilose. Head with a longitudinal impressed line. An- 

 tenna* a little longer than the body, joints elongated-cylindrical, terminal one 

 obtusely rounded at tip, and nearly as long and large as the preceding one; 

 all of them pilose. Thorax a little wider than the head, longer than broad, 

 rounded at the sides, abruptly contracted behind, granulated, pilose, and with 

 an impressed dorsal line. Elytra paler than the head and thorax, pilose, elon- 

 gated linear, rugose, or confluently punctured as seen under a microscope, and 

 with three shghtly elevated lines; at tip each abruptly and triangularly nar- 

 rowed on both sides, with the apex obtuse. Body beneath somewhat glabrous, 

 sparingly pilose. Thighs simple; tibia; and tarsi slender. 



"Entirely distinct as to the form of the thorax and termination of the elytra 

 from our other species of Stenocorus, to which genus I have doubt ingly re- 

 ferred it. Compared with the Stenocorus rigidn^, of Mr. Saj', which has also 

 the elytra entire or simply subacuminate at tip, it is a much more slender 

 species, the antenna; not spined as in that insect, the thorax is differently 

 shaped, and the color is not decidedly ferruginous, but of a dirty reddish yel- 

 low\ I have seen only two specimens, one of which was captured in Louis- 

 iana." (This is 6017 [Henshaw], Oeme rigida Say.

"Thorax white; elytra pale brown, variegated with dusky spots and elevated 

 fascifulated points, whitish at base, and with an oblique whitish band behind 

 the middle. 



"Length 35 hundredths of an inch. 



"Halsey's Collection, No. 231. 



"Head with a longitudinal impressed line on the front, sulcated between the 

 antenna*, which are rather longer than the body, and pale rufous, blackish at 

 the tip of each joint. Thorax whitish, transverse, contracted abruptly behind, 

 grachially before, punctured at the sides, and across the base and tip, rather 

 unefjual, with a small tubercle before the middle and one behind it, an impressed 

 short line in the middle of the base; lateral spines replaced l)y a slightly ele- 

 vated tubercle on each side. Elj-tra pale brown, punctured; humeral angles 

 obUque; a faint whitish band across the base, and a more distinct, oblifiue one,
