OF PHILADELPHIA. 327 



paler than the disk : seutel pale : elytra with acute impressed 

 striae ; a rather large, oval, pale spot somewhat before the middle, 

 chiefly included between the second and third striae : beneath 

 rufous. 



Length more than one-tenth of an inch. 



This is a common insect. It is so much like the C. bipustula- 

 tus of Panzer, that we find some hesitation in admitting it to a 

 distinct rank. That species, however, judging from Panzer's 

 figure, has the lateral [268] edges of the thorax obviously 

 crenate, and the pale elytra spot is much larger than in the pre- 

 sent species. 



[This species belongs to LaemopMoeus. — Leg.] 



2. C. MODESTA. — Reddish-brown ; antennae more than half 

 the length of the body ; thorax with a lateral impressed line j 

 elytra with punctured striae. 



Head and thorax reddish-brown, with numerous small punc- 

 tures ; the latter somewhat rounded, hardly narrower behind, 

 with an obvious impressed longitudinal line on each lateral sub- 

 margin : antennae considerably more than half the length of the 

 body : elytra rather shorter than the abdomen, pale testaceous, 

 immaculate ; striae obtuse, hardly impressed, with large punc- 

 tures : beneath reddish-brown. 



Length more than one-twentieth of an inch. 



This small species occurs in East Florida, and was obtained by 

 Mr. Maclure's party. It is about equal in size to C. testaceus 

 Fabr., of Europe, but is a very difi'erent species. In the form 

 of its antennae, this species approaches the genus Brontes. 



[Also a Laemophlceus. — Leg.] 



LAMIA Fabr. 



1. L. MACULA. — Brownish; sides of the thorax and spot on 

 the elytra gray. 



Ceramhyx macula Melsh. Catal. 



Head brownish above, grayish before, and gray on the cheeks : 

 antennae a little longer than the body, dull rufous ; the joints 

 blackish at their tips : thorax slightly inequal, with very obtuse, 

 obsolete tubercles ; lateral spine none, substituted by a hardly 

 elevated tubercle ; above brownish, with two longitudinal, [269]
