DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES. 197 



Dull testaceous, densely pubescent; punctures of elytra dense, finer 

 behind, a short humeral vitta black, which in one specimen has a con- 

 tinuation near the tip (indicating that it may be entire in some indi- 

 viduals). New Mexico. 7. HUMERALIS Lee. 



Bright red, antennae, legs, postpectus, and head black ; elytra coarsely 

 punctured, punctures denser and somewhat smaller behind, basal band 

 and sutural blotch black, the latter very broad in both sexes. Colorado. 



8. DISCOIDEUS (Say). 



! punctatlis. Niger, pube longa pallida vestitus, prothorace 

 lateribus rotundatis inedio augulatis, dense punctate, ssepe rufo ; elytris 

 grosse punctatis, punctis postice minoribus, rufo-testaceis, margine 

 basali maculaque elongata suturali plus minusve dilatata nigris ; 

 subtus niger vel testaceus. Long. 13 17 mm. 



Oregon, Lord Walsingham ; California, Dr. Horn. Easily re- 

 cognized by the coarser punctures of the elytra; the sutural 

 blotch varies greatly ; in one $ it is a very narrow line, in two 

 others it is a large, oval, elongate spot ; in two 9 it is broader, 

 with the sides straight and parallel. 



6. G. hirtipes Lee., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., vii, 16. C. 

 suturalis Lee., from New Mexico, is perhaps a local variety of 

 this species, but the prothorax is less densely punctured, the 

 basal margin of the elytra is not black, and the body beneath is 

 rufo-testaceous, the hind tibiae are a little sinuate on the inner 

 side, and the hind tarsi rather broader, with the 1st joint less 

 elongated in the single ? in my collection. 



8. C. discoideus; Callidium discoideum Say, Journ. Acad. 

 Nat. Sci. Phila., iii, 411 ; Crossidius pulchrior Bland, Proc. 

 Ent. Soc. Phila., i, 272; this beautiful little species represents in 

 miniature the red variety of G. punctatus; the sutural blotch is 

 broad, with parallel sides, and extends to the side margin by 

 curving outwards about one-fifth the length from the tip. 



CYULENE NEWM. 



518. C. forevipennis. Nigro-picea, cinereo-pubescens, prothorace 

 obscure ferrugineo, lateribus rotuudato, versus basin utrinque vix exca- 

 vato ; elytris fasciis tribus angustis, base apiceque late testaceis, flavo- 

 pubescentibus, antennis pedibusque ferrugineis ; abdomine elytris multo 

 longiore. Long. incl. abd. 18 ; excl. abd. 12.5 mm. 



One specimen ; Utah, collected by Dr. Leidy. The base of 

 the prothorax is not excavated each side and the prosternum is 

 not perpendicular behind ; the species is easily recognized by
