AND EASTERN NEW MEXICO. 25 



II. plliriligata, pallidc flava, clongata, tboracc latitudine sesqui breviore, fere obsolete punctu- 

 lato, guttis nigris quatuor, lincolaque dorsali versus basin ornato, lateribus rotundatis marginatis, 

 olytris subtiliter parce punctulatis, sutura, vitta discoidca apicem baud attingcnte, alteraque juxta 

 inarginem nigris; tibiis ad apicem, tarsisque fuscis, antcnnis nigro-piecis, articulis tribus primis 

 flavis supra iufuscatis. Long. 32. 



Kansas and Texas. Also allied to //. alternata, but narrower and with a less 

 transverse thorax. Both this and the preceding, as well as the next species belong 

 to Chevrolat s division (called genus by some authors) Discmycha. 



H. Ccrvicalis, ovalis, pallidc flava, capite, antennis, pedibus, elytrisque nigris, his punctulatis 

 subalutaceis ; Ihoracc subtilius marginato, locvi. Long. &quot;2. 



Kansas and Georgia. Very similar to //. collaris, but rather stouter than that 

 species, and distinguished by the uniform pale-yellow color of the under surface. 



II. semicarllOliata, ovalis convexa, fusco-atra, elytris opacis subtiliter punctatis, thorace parce 

 punctulato, flavo, ad basin versus angulos posticos rectos sinuato, clypeo, abdorainis segmcnto 

 ultimo vcntrali, coxis femoribusque flavis ; antcnnarnm artieulis ] 3 subtus, tibiisque posticis ad 

 basin flavis. Long. -24. 



Santa Fe : one specimen : Mr. Fendler. Belongs to the division named Disonycha 

 by Chcvrolat, and resembles in appearance //. colhtris Fabr., but is broader, having 

 the form of II. ccrcicuUs ; it is readily distinguished from both by the dull elytra 

 and different arrangement of the colors beneath. 



II. ailllm ll*. clongata, convexa, cyanca nitida, tliorace vircsccnte, punctulato, ad basin late rotun- 

 dato, ante basin profunde transversim sulcato, sulco versus angulos profundiore, elytris subtiliter 

 punctulatis, carina submarginali distincta, posticc cnrvata ct versus suturam oblitcrata. Long. 22. 



Santa Fe: Mr. Fendler. Differs from //. suljrticutn- in the smaller si/.e, and by 

 the more elevated submarginal costa of the elytra being curved behind. It nearly 

 resembles a nondescript species from New Hampshire (//. alni Harris), but the 

 thorax is more convex, and the elytra more deeply punctured, while the curved 

 portion of the costa is less prolonged towards the suture; in both the elytra are 

 broadly sulcate about the middle, just within the costa. 



H. Sllbplicata, clongata, obscure cyanca, parum nitida, thorace latitudine paulo breviore, subtiliter 

 pnnctulato, lateribus rectis angulis omnibus distinctis, postice fortiter transversim sulcato, elytris 

 parce punctulatis, plica submarginali minus clevata versus apicem sensim oblitcrata notatis. 

 Long. -25. 



One specimen : found in Platte river valley. Belongs to a numerous group of 

 the division Graptodera Cherv., having an elevated fold parallel with the outer 

 margin of the elytra ; this fold in the other species is, however, much more elevated 

 and curved posteriorly towards the suture. 



II. luinrf ipciilli*. clongata, Isete viridi-ronea, thorace antrorsum angustato, latitudiric sesqui 



breviore, lateribus late rotundatis, vix snbtilitcr punctulato, postice transversim tenuiter obsolete 



sulcato, elytris thorace paulo latioribus, distincte licet subtiliter punctatis, antcunis nigris. 

 Long. -2. 



Kansas and Santa Fe. Specimens from New Mexico were collected by the late 

 Richard C. Kern, Esq., and were given to me by Prof. S. S. Haldeman. This is a 

 GraptoJcra of slender form, and is readily distinguished by the distinctly punctured 

 elytra, and by the slight posterior impression of the thorax.
