22 UOLEOPTERA OP KANSAS 



AMPHIONYCHA LEC. 



A. ardf ns, minus clongata cylindrica, atra, pube nigra erccta vcstita, capitc fronte vittisque dua- 

 bus postice divergentibus loete flammeo-pubescentibus, thorace supra flammeo-pubescente, vitta 

 dorsali atra, latitudine sesqui breviore, latcribus parum sinuatis, clytris tliorace paulo latioribus 

 grosse punctatis, margine laterali ad humeros latiorc, et ad dodrantem extenso ornatis. Long. 

 35. 



Fort Riley: John Xantus, Esq. Broader than A. flammata, and readily dis 

 tinguished by the thorax being one half broader than its length, with the lateral 

 vittie much wider. 



Also allied to these two is a third species found in Northern New York, and in 

 New Hampshire ; for specimens of it I am indebted to Mr. Henry Ulke, it may be 

 thus characterized : 



A. Sllbarmata, minus elongata cylindrica, atra, pube nigra erecta vestita, capite flammeo-pubes 

 cente, thorace latitudine vix breviore, lateribus sinuatis, medio tuberculo acuto promiuulo armatis, 

 vitta angusta sublaterali flammeo-pubescente, elytris grosse punctatis juxta suturam late sulcatis, 

 sutura magis elevata. Long. 26 - 28. 



^EDILIS SERV. 



JE. spectafoilis, niger subtiliter dense cinereo fuscoque pubesccns, thorace fusco maculis albis con- 

 flucutibus utrinque ornato, elytris basi fasciisque tribus undulatis obliquis fuscis (intermedia 

 latiore) notatis, pedibus fusco -annulatis, antennis longissimis cinereis, articulis 1 5 subtus dense 

 pubesceutibus, apice fuscis, 5to fasciculo apicali recurvato interiio ornato. Long. -91. Tab. II, 

 fig. 16. 



LEC. Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. of Philadelphia, VII, 82. 



Fort Union: one specimen: Major Sibley. The figure renders unnecessary any 

 farther description of this beautiful species. 



IrElfIA FABK. 



In. trivirgata, elongatula, parallela, testacea nitida, antennis (articulo primo excepto) thoracis 

 maculis duabus (capitisque lateribns, abdominisque maculis saepe), tibiarum apice tarsisque nigris; 

 thorace latitudine longiore, medio valde coarctato, antice grossius parcc punctato ; elytris fortius 

 puuctato-striatis, interstitiis postice haud elevatis, vitta suturali alteraque subrnarginali angustis 

 nigris. Long. -31. 



Santa Fe : Mr. Fendler. Similar in appearance to L. trilineata, but known at 

 once by the larger punctures of the thorax and elytra. The thorax is also more 

 deeply constricted at the middle, and the outer vitta of the elytra is always nar 

 rower, usually extending only from the 9th to the 10th stria; in one specimen this 

 vitta is interrupted behind the humerus. In another the second and third joints 

 of the abdomen are marked each with a medial transverse black spot, and the occi 

 put and two posterior spots of the head are black. 



COSCmOPTERA LAC 



C. franciscana, oblonga, antice angustior, postiee vix attenuata, nigra, subtus densius, supra 

 sat dense albido-tomentosa, thorace latitudine sesqui breviore, lateribus obliquis parura rotundatis, 

 punctato, linea angusta dorsali kevi, elytris fere dense punctatis, labro flavo-marginato. Long.
