dorsal line obsolete, basal lines subimpressed ; elytra dark green 

 or cupreous ; strige impunctured, edge ferruginous, tip acutely 

 rounded ; feet pale testaceous. 



I collected this species in North Carolina, where it appears to 

 be rather common. It is distinguishable from the preceding 

 only by immediate comparison : the tips of the elytra when taken 

 together are more acute, the labrum ferruginous, hind thoracic 

 angles more acute, feet much paler, and the thorax more dis- 

 tinctly transverse. 



[I consider this as probably the species subsequently described 

 by Dejean as II. agilk, in which case it belongs to Eurijtrichus 

 Lee. It may however be Gynandrotarsus harpaloidcs Ferte, 

 an insect from Texas, unknown to me. — Leg.] 



8. H. VULPECULUS. — Ilufous ; elytra brownish, impunctured ; 

 posterior thoracic angles rectangular. 



Length nearly two-fifths of an inch. 



Body glabrous, beneath obsoletely punctured ; head with the 

 mandibles black at tip ; thorax a little contracted behind, base 

 each side depressed and punctured, dorsal line obsolete, lateral 

 angles rectangular, basal edge rectilinear ; scutel dark rufous ; 

 elytra blackish-brown, striae profound, impunctured, interstitial 

 lines convex, impunctured ; pectus and postpectus obsoletely 

 punctured ; feet paler. 



This, at first view, resembles Feronia interstitialis. I have but 

 a single specimen, which is a female. 



[Subsequently described as S. nigripennu Dej.; belongs to 

 Bradycellus. — Lec.J 



J). H. IRIPENNTS. — Black ; elytra black-blue iridescent ; feet 

 testaceous. 



Length one-fourth of an inch. 



Body black, beneath dark piceous j antennae, labrum, mouth, 

 and feet rufo-testaeeous, the latter paler ; thorax somewhat wider 

 than long, widest in the middle, hardly narrower at base than at 

 tip ; lateral edge piceous, [31] almost regularly arquated ; angles 

 obtusely rounded ; basal edge rectilinear ; dorsal and basal lines 

 obsolete ; base with numerous slight punctures ; elytra blackish, 

 with blue and iridescent reflexions.
