closely allied to sanguinicolUs, and may prove to be scapularis 

 Oliv., [432] the description of which I have not seen. 



[Belongs to AnopUtis Kirby, and is Hupa scapularis 01. — 

 Leg.] 



2. H. PALLIDA. — Yellowish-white ; elytra with punctured 

 striae, elevated lines, and blackish, linear spots towards the tip. 



Inhabits the United States. 



Body pale testaceous, densely punctured : head with a longi- 

 tudinal, impressed line, and indented point each side near the 

 eyes : thorax quadrilineate, with black : elytra serrate ; each 

 elytron with three obtuse elevated lines, and a common 

 one ; a blackish spot before the tip of the common line, one or 

 two black spots behind the middle of the second line, and one 

 before the middle ; two upon the next line, of which one is upon 

 the middle of it ; two upon the next line, and two corresponding 

 ones upon the lateral edge ; between each two of the elevated 

 lines are double series of profoundly impressed, large, transverse 

 punctures : feet pale testaceous : beneath black or pale yellowish, 

 varied with black : venter black or pale yellow, with four series 

 of brown spots. 



Length about three-twentieths of an inch. 



[Appears to be Hispa rosea Weber. — Leg.] 



3. H. OBSOLETA. — Blackish; thorax with punctured striae, 

 elevated lines, and obsolete, yellowish spots. 



Inhabits the United States. 



Head dull rufous, black at base, and with a black line im- 

 pressed in the middle : antennae black : thorax dull yellowish, 

 with four equidistant [433] black lines : elytra black, serrate, 

 each with three elevated lines, and a common sutural one, sepa- 

 rated by double series of large, profoundly impressed, transverse 

 punctures ; several small dull yellowish or rufous spots on the 

 elevated lines, (placed similarly to the black elytral spots of the 

 preceding species) and a larger spot at tip ; beneath black : feet 

 pale testaceous. 



Length three-twentieths of an inch. 



Very similar to the preceding species, than which it is more 

 common ; as in that insect the spots on each elytron are arranged 

 in two oblique bands, of which the anterior one is much more
