Stran. strigosa. Inseclum valde strigosum : caput testaceum, ocii- 

 lis emarginatis, linea inter antennas gulaque nigris : prothorax 

 testaceus, marginibus vittisque duabus discoidalibus satuiatior- 

 ibus, vittoB nonnunquam medio interruptae raaculas 4 fonnantes : 

 scutellum testaceum : elytra testacea, flavido bifasciata, fasciis 

 nigro marginatis : pedes testacei, coxis nigris, metafemoribus 

 apice nigris : abdomen testaceum. (Corp. long. "6 unc. lat. "1 unc.) 



Inhabits the United States of North America. The specimens in 

 the cabinet of the Entomological Club were taken by Messrs. Double- 

 day and Foster, at St. John's Bluff, in East Florida. They were found 

 in abundance on the blossoms of Rhamnus minutiflorus and Cactus 

 opuntia, near the margins of a swamp. 



Genus. — Leptura. 



Lep. badia. Nigra, aureo-lanuginosa : elytris badiis, vestigiis in- 

 certis flavis : pedes badii : prothorax crebre punctus, punctis 

 magnis profundis. (Corp. long. '65 unc. lat. "S unc.) 



Inhabits the United States of North America. The specimens in 

 the cabinet of the Entomological Club, were taken by Mr. E. Double- 

 day on the flowers of Olea Americana, in the hammocks near St. 

 John's Bluff", in East Florida. The deep chestnut colour of its elytra 

 and legs, and its coarsely punctured prothorax, induce me to t)elieve 

 it distinct from Lep. veliitina, in company with which insect it has 

 never been found. 



Lep. nohilis. Aureo-lanuginosa: caput et prothorax fusca j anten- 

 nae nigraB : elytra flava, apicibus humerisque ferrugineis, fasciis 

 3 nigris ornata : prothorax subtiliter punctus : pedes et abdo-

 day on the blossoms of Olea Americana, in the hammocks near St.

 are two others, which appear abundant in the United States, and en- 

 joy a wide geographical range. 1. Lep.veluthia oi Olivier, synony- 

 mous apparently with Leptura fugax of Fabricius, which seems to 

 have been an accidental variety in which the superior fasciae of the ely- 

 tra were obsolete, and the apical one apparent only as a yellow spot on 

 each : this species was taken by Messrs. Doubleday and Foster on the
