of the third ; terminal joint not abruptly contracted near the 

 tip : thoras convex ; dorsal line obvious ; spines short, their ex- 

 curvature hardly obvious, carina nearly parallel with the exterior 

 edge ; scutel a little convex ; elytra with punctured striae ; inter- 

 stitial spaces with numerous, small, definite, orbicular punctures ; 

 feet rufous ; tarsi simple. 



Length nine-twentieths of an inch. 



It may be distinguished from the apj^ressifrons nob., which 

 it resembles, by the more convex thorax, of which the spines are 

 much shorter and not much cxcurved ; the antennae are more 

 slender, and the terminal joint is not abruptly narrowed near its 

 tip, and the punctures of the interstitial spaces of the elytra are 

 obviously orbicular, and definite.

10. E. PYRRiros Herbst. — Elongated; the thorax is narrow, 

 the spines [168] hairy ; the joints of the antennae are in length 

 about three times their greatest breadth, even the second joint 

 Is in the same proportion with respect to the third : the length 

 of the antennae is equal to half that of the body : clypeus sub- 

 quadrate, concave towards the tip. 



Length seven-tenths of an inch.

11. E. suLGicoLLis nob. (i7. para7^e^«s Say, Ann. Lye. New 

 York). — Dejean informs me that the name 2>(^*'<^ii^(^^^s is preoccu- 

 pied, and proposes to substitute for it that which I now give. 

 An expressive name would be mversicollis, the thorax being as 

 wide, or rather wider before than behind.

12. E. viRiDis nob., Ann. Lye. New York. — Antennae short : 

 joints in their greatest breadth nearly equal to their length; 

 second joint hardly half as long as the third : clypeus at tip not 

 prominent, but only distinguished by a line : thoracic spines with 

 a carinate line parallel to the exterior edge. [Ante, 1, 390.] 



13. E. AURiPiLis nob., Journ. Acad. Nat. Sc. — I obtained 

 another specimen in the N. W. Territory. 



It is remarkable for the deep indentations of the clypeus.
