6. E. CYLiNDRiFORMis nob. — In the description " a promi- 

 nent edge above the antennae, which disappears before ;" instead 

 of the three last words, read, which is obtusely emarginate. The 

 head, thorax and base of the elytra have rather long, prostrate 

 hairs ; the remainder of the elytra has short hairs. Tarsi simply 

 hairy beneath. 



It may be referred to the genus Cainpijlus Fischer, but the 

 head is inserted nearly to the eyes in the thorax ; and the palpi 

 are hardly filiform. 



[Belongs to Limonius. — Leg.] [1671 



7. E. RUBRicoLLis Herbst, Nob. (Journ. Acad. Nat. Sc). 

 This is the verticinus Beauvois, but I do not know which has 

 the priority.* 



8. E. LiMBALis, — Thorax fulvous, disk black; elytra black- 

 ish, with a testaceous margin. 



Inhabits United States. 



Head blackish ; antennae wide, deeply serrate ; three basal 

 joints taken together not longer than the fourth joint; second 

 and third very short, equal, transverse ; thorax fulvous testaceous ; 

 disc in the middle, basal and posterior part of the lateral margin 

 black ; elytra testaceous all around, and blackish along the mid- 

 dle : beneath black piceous ; pectus with an oblique, fulvous spot 

 near the posterior angles; feet piceous. 



Length less than half an inch. 



This is the limbalis of Melsh. Catal., and I have it noted in 

 my MSS. interrogatively as the Umhalis of Herbst, but I have 

 not now his work to refer to. 



9. E. ECTYPUS. — Blackish brassy; antennae and feet rufous ; 

 thoracic spines very short. 



Inhabits United States. 



Blackish or dark brown, tinged with brassy ; clypeus very ob- 

 tuse, almost truncated before, not appressed ; above plane, with 

 two obsolete indented lines ; antennae dark rufous, not dilated, 

 and hardly serrate ; second joint more than two-thirds the length 



* Dr. Harris remarks that Herbst's name undoubtedly has the priority ; 

 for that of Palisot de Beauvois does not seem to have been sanctioned 

 by a description, 

 1836.]
