98 DESCRIPTIONS OP NEW SPECIES. 



lateribns antice rufis ; antennis palpisque pallidis, pedibus flavo-rufis, 

 femoribus posticis elytris vix longioribus. Long. -22. 



One specimen, from middle Illinois, kindly given me by Mr. 

 Maurice Schuster, of St. Louis, to whom I dedicate with pleasure 

 this beautiful species. The lateral dilatation of the thorax is 

 about as prominent as in H. pedalis, but in consequence of the 

 greater length, disappears more gradually behind. 



CREGYA LEG 



344. C. mixta. Elongata, picea, pallide pilosa, capite grosse punetato, 

 thorace latitudine longiore, postice modice constricto, punctis grossis 

 umbilicatis sat densis, testaceo-variegato ; elytris pallidis macula 

 elongata humerali trienteque postico nigro-piceis, apice testaceis, punc- 

 tis grossis seriatim positis, versus apicem obliteratis, interstitiis fere 

 uniseriatim punctulatis ; antennis pedibusque testaceis, illis clava fusca. 

 Long. -13 -17. 



Maryland and Kentucky ; two specimens given me by Mr. J. 

 Ph. Wild. A beautiful little species, somewhat resembling in 

 appearance G. vetusta, but much smaller, and with the punctures 

 of the thorax very large, umbilicated, and not very closely placed. 



The genus Cregya contains species placed with I'elonium by 

 Spinola, but differing by the thorax being constricted behind, so 

 as to render the sides sinuate, and by the anterior tibiae not being 

 serrate externally. The antennae are 11-jointed, the first joint of 

 the tarsi is not shorter than the second ; the ungues are slightly 

 dilated at the base in G. vetusta and fasciata, but very broadly 

 appendiculate in C. oculata and mixta. 



ENOPLIUM LATR. 



345. E. scaliripeime. Nigrum pube erecta grisea vestitum, capite 

 thoraceque punctatis, hoc latitudine baud longiore, lateribus rotundatis, 

 tenuiter marginatis, utrinque longitudinaliter impresso, angulis anticis 

 testaceis ; elytris thorace latioribus, opacis confertissime granulatis, 

 humeris apiceque Isete rufis : prosterni margine antico, capitis vitta lata 

 gulari rufis ; antennis 10-articulatis, articulo Imo subtus rufo. Long. -32. 

 One specimen, collected at Cape San Lucas, Lower California, 



by Mr. Xantus. As I have observed' on a previous occasion, the 

 species of Enoplium found in North America differ from those 

 of the other continent, by having but ten joints in the antennae. 

 In other respects our species agree with the generic characters
