 testacc'is, nonnunquam tcstaceis apice fuscis, nonnunquam ni-

Inhabits the United States of North America. Four specimens 

 of this supposed species were taken in May, at Trenton Falls, on the 

 blossoms of Cerasus Virginianus ; they vary equally in size and colour 

 but agree in the following characters. The antennae have the four 

 basal joints shining, the others without gloss ; the fourth joint is much 

 shorter than those which follow : the prothorax is rather narrowed an- 

 teriorly, it is not constricted at either extremity, and its sides are 

 straight, having no convexity whatever ; the elytra are flattened, and 

 have a basal notch or depression between the shoulder and scutellum.

 antennas graciles^ elongata), articulo 3tio elongato : elytra punc- 

 ta : oculi, antenna;, elytra, pedes et abdomen nigra. (Corp. long.

Inhabits the United States of North America. The specimens in 

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

 bleday, at Trenton Falls, on the blossoms of Cerasus Virginianus. 



Lep. directa. Testacea, puncta ; oculis prominentibus nigris ; an- 

 tennis nigro annulatis : prothorax valde convexus : elytra fla-

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

Inhabits the United States of North America. The specimens in 

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

 day at New York. Besides having a black head, antenniu, thorax and 

 abdomen, this species differs from the last in wanting the prominent 

 eyes and globose prothorax, and in being a longer and more slender 

 insect.
