 arcuated carina, forming a portion of a circle, 

 the centre of which, is anterior to the origin of 

 the hemelytra; carina with two yellow radii,

OBSERVATIONS. 



When returning with a detachment of Major 

 Long's party, at the distance of about an hundred 

 and fifty miles from the mountains, on the banks 

 of the Arkansaw river, I had the pleasure to find 

 a considerable number of this uncommonly beau- 

 tiful species. It occurred only in a very limited 

 district, and was not afterwards seen.
