  Sea 
  shore 
  near 
  New 
  York 
  ; 
  not 
  common. 
  Found 
  also 
  in 
  Pennsylvania 
  and 
  New 
  

   Jersey. 
  Much 
  smaller 
  than 
  the 
  preceding, 
  and 
  very 
  distinct 
  by 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  the 
  

   long 
  yellow 
  hair, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  elytra 
  meeting 
  along 
  the 
  suture. 
  The 
  abdomen 
  and 
  the 
  

   club 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  are 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  preceding. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  stated 
  by 
  Doubleday 
  that 
  he 
  has 
  seen 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  genus 
  from 
  Oregon 
  ; 
  

   it 
  is 
  difficult 
  to 
  believe 
  that 
  either 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  here 
  described 
  have 
  so 
  extensive 
  a 
  

   range.
