  The 
  most 
  perfectly 
  marked 
  specimens 
  greatly 
  resemble 
  tlie 
  next 
  species, 
  but 
  are 
  readily 
  

   known 
  by 
  the 
  shorter 
  and 
  less 
  convex 
  thorax, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  elytra 
  of 
  the 
  female 
  being 
  only 
  

   gradually 
  dilated, 
  behind 
  the 
  shoulders, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  black 
  maxillary 
  palpi 
  of 
  the 
  male.

  Lake

  Missouri, 
  Georgia. 
  Does 
  not 
  vary 
  perceptibly 
  in 
  its 
  charac- 
  

   ters 
  ; 
  the 
  marginal 
  line 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  never 
  reaches 
  either 
  of 
  the 
  lunules. 
  One 
  specimen 
  

   occurred 
  at 
  New 
  York 
  having 
  the 
  middle 
  fascia 
  abbreviated 
  at 
  tip, 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  be 
  less 
  strongly 
  

   bent 
  than 
  usual. 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  know 
  how 
  Ilerbst's 
  description 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  has 
  been 
  over- 
  

   looked, 
  for 
  it 
  is 
  quite 
  satisfactory.

  Found 
  abundantly 
  on 
  the 
  shores 
  of 
  both 
  of 
  the 
  Atlantic 
  and 
  Pacific 
  oceans, 
  and 
  the 
  

   Gulf 
  of 
  Mexico, 
  along 
  our 
  whole 
  coasts; 
  also 
  on 
  Lakes 
  Ontario, 
  Erie, 
  and 
  Superior: 
  spe- 
  

   cimens 
  occur, 
  though 
  less 
  abundantly, 
  on 
  the 
  rivers 
  of 
  the 
  central 
  and 
  western 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  

   Continent; 
  e. 
  g. 
  Platte, 
  Arkansas 
  and 
  Gila. 
  The 
  synonym 
  last 
  named 
  was 
  made 
  on 
  spe- 
  

   cimens 
  from 
  California, 
  and 
  presented 
  slight 
  differences 
  which 
  with 
  a 
  larger 
  series 
  of 
  spe- 
  

   cimens 
  have 
  disappeared.
