excellent entomologist, has been placed in my hands ; and it is only 

 to those few species that were unknown to Dr. Harris, or which he 

 pronounced to be undescribed, that I have ventured to attach names, 

 and descriptions of my own. 



Class. — COLEOPTERA. 



Natural Order. — Lepturites, Newman. 



Family. — Lepturid^, Leach. 



Genus. — Toxotus, Megerle. 



Tox. dives. Niger, lanugine cinerea obsitus : antennis flavis, basi 

 nigris. (Corp. long. '8 unc. lat. '25 unc.) 



Inhabits the United States of North America. A single specimen 

 in the cabinet of the Entomological Club, was taken by Mr. E. Dou- 

 bleday at Trenton Falls, in the State of New York. The collection 

 contains no other example of the genus. 



Genus. — Strangalia, Serville. 



Of these singularly fonned insects the collection contains three dis- 

 tinct but approximate species ; the first of these is Stran. luteicornisy 

 the well-known Leptura luteicornis of Fabricius ; the other two appear 

 to be new. 



Stran. famelica. Antennae nigra? ; caput nigrum, macula pone 

 oculos testacea : prothorax testaceus, vittis 2 nigris : elytra luteo- 

 testacea, utriusque macula mediana alteraque ante apicem nigiis: 

 pedes testacei; metafemoribus apice, metatibiis nonnunquam, 

 tarsisque nigris aut fuscis. (Corp. long. "45 unc. lat. *! unc.) 



Inhabits the United States of North America. The two specimens in 

 the cabinet of the Entomological Club were taken by Mr. Doubleday. 



Stran. emaciata. Caput, antennae et prothorax nigra : elytra flavi- 

 da, marginibus lateralibus prave nigris : femora flavida, aj^ice 

 nigra, tibiis tarsisque nigris : abdomen piceum. (Corp. long. '5 

 unc. lat. '1125 unc.) 



Inhabits North America. The only specimen I have seen is in the 

 cabinet of Mr. Waterhouse, to whom I am indebted for the loan of it; 

 the precise locality seems uncertain.
