  Extensively 
  diffused, 
  yet 
  not 
  with 
  the 
  races 
  intermingled 
  : 
  the 
  localities 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  

   observed 
  ai*e 
  as 
  follows 
  : 
  a. 
  New 
  York 
  and 
  New 
  Jersey, 
  on 
  wooded 
  hills 
  : 
  (3 
  — 
  a. 
  Eastport, 
  

   Maine, 
  Dr. 
  Harris: 
  (3 
  — 
  b. 
  Rockport, 
  Ohio, 
  and 
  Fort 
  Gratiot, 
  Dr. 
  Kirtland, 
  also 
  in 
  Mis- 
  

   souri, 
  Dr. 
  Hoy; 
  (3 
  — 
  y. 
  New 
  York;

  a 
  and

  Southern 
  and 
  Western 
  states;

  c. 
  Ar- 
  

   kansas, 
  Dr. 
  Schauta. 
  Very 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  the 
  next, 
  and 
  in 
  fact 
  the 
  only 
  difference 
  that 
  

   can 
  be 
  perceived 
  is 
  the 
  direction 
  of 
  the 
  origin 
  of 
  the 
  middle 
  band 
  which 
  is 
  perpendicular 
  

   in 
  the 
  present, 
  and 
  oblique 
  in 
  the 
  next 
  : 
  yet 
  the 
  specimen 
  (3 
  — 
  d 
  would 
  invalidate 
  even 
  

   this 
  character. 
  The 
  head 
  and 
  thorax 
  of 
  the 
  next 
  are 
  proportionally 
  a 
  little 
  larger, 
  and 
  

   the 
  thorax 
  seems 
  more 
  narrowed 
  behind, 
  and 
  less 
  tubulated 
  in 
  front 
  by 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   constriction, 
  but 
  these 
  differences 
  are 
  not 
  very 
  obvious.

  Variety 
  a. 
  is 
  extensively 
  diffused 
  through 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  Western 
  States 
  : 
  varieties 
  b. 
  

   and 
  c. 
  occur 
  only 
  at 
  the 
  West. 
  I 
  have 
  theni 
  from 
  Lake 
  Superior, 
  Wisconsin, 
  and 
  Ne- 
  

   braska 
  : 
  in 
  the 
  last 
  mentioned 
  region 
  the 
  type 
  did 
  not 
  occur. 
  A 
  specimen 
  with 
  dull 
  green 
  

   elytra 
  and 
  coppery 
  reflections, 
  which 
  seems 
  intermediate 
  between 
  a 
  and 
  b, 
  occurred 
  at 
  

   New 
  York.
