SYNOPSES OF CERAMBYCIDiE. 



By Chas. W. Leng, B. S. 



(Continued from p. 8, vol. III.) 



C. albofasciatus Lap & Gory. Mon., p. 96, t. 12, f. 113. 



Length 10 mm = .40 ins. Hab. Pa., Ohio, 



C. ruri.oh is black, legs, except tip of femora, and antennae rufo- 

 testaceous, banded as follows : thorax entirely margined ; elytra with 

 scutellum entirely yellow, a short transverse band behind the base, a 

 deeply sinuate band running at an angle with the suture to about the 

 middle of the elytra and then bending upward and outward to the mar- 

 gin (this band is often broken), and an oblique arcuate band behind the 

 middle. 



C. albofasciatus has the thorax always black, otherwise it varies con- 

 .siderably in color from red to black. The bands which are formed of 

 .short white hairs are onh' on the elytra ; a short oblique line before the 

 middle and a long arcuate band behind the middle. The apex is also 

 ck)thed with white pubescence. This species is also much flatter than 

 ruricola. An interesting note upon its varieties by Dr. Hamilton will be 

 found in Can. Knt. , June 1886. It was bred from Cjrajje and Hickor}- 

 by him.

Length 6 — 7 mm. = .24 — .28 ins. Hab. Middle States to Canada, L. Sup. 

 A small insect, piceous or reddish brown with the thorax above and 

 the elytra, except about the middle of the suture, black and rather closely 

 punctured. The legs and antennae always paler. Elytral markings com- 

 posed of long white hairs arranged as follows : an oblique line from the 

 scutellum, a very short transverse or slightly arcuate line about the middle 

 quite distinct from the next, a broader band immediately behind and 

 nearlv transverse, a blotch covering the entire apical eighth of the elytra. 

 The antennae are as long as the insect (^, about f 9- The tip of the 

 elytra is very slightly truncate (^, or separately rounded 9- 



This species is the first of the group Anaglypti in all of which the 

 elytra are gibbous or elevated in a lump at base. In Microclyius the ele- 

 vation is slight, only a little rounded lump and does not extend obliquely 

 towards the margin as in Cyriophorus.
