^* E. punctatissimus. — Lsete viridi-seneus, supra et subtus confertissime subtiliter 

 punctatus ; thorace subtransverso, capite non angustiore, antice profunda impresso, 

 dein canaliculate, disco utrinque foveato ; elytris latitudine sesqui longioribus pone 

 basin leviter sinuatis, foveis ocellatis purpureis 4-plici serie impressis, spatiisque laevi- 

 gatis 2-plici serie notatis: pectore medio liEvi, tibiis femorumque basitestaceis. Long. 

 •27, lat. -13. 



Sault ; common. Punctuation much finer and more dense than in E. ruscarius (Say). 

 The anterior Isevigated space is quadrate and extends to the suture : the sides of the 

 abdomen are so finely punctured as to appear granulate. 



2* E. sinuatus. — Lffite viridi-Eeneus, supra et subtus confertissime subtiliter punctatus, 

 thorace latitudine fere longiore, capite parum angustiore, antice profunde transversim 

 impresso, canaliculato, disco utrinque foveato ; elytris latitudine duplo longioribus, 

 pone basin profundius sinuatis, dein vix conspicue ampliatis ; foveis spatiisque lae- 

 vigatis sicut in praecedente : pectore medio laevi, tibiis femorumque basi ferrugineis. 

 Long. 'SI, lat. 'IS. Pic; two specimens. Narrower than the preceding, the punctures 

 of the side of the abdomen are more distinct ; but still the pectora are more closely 

 punctured than in E. ruscarius. 



*® N. punctatus. — Nigro-seneus, nitidus capite 7-striato striis externis latis, thorace 

 transverso, postice angustato, angulis posticis rectis, punctato, disco utrinque licvi, 

 basi utrinque foveato : elytris ante medium 1-foveatis, stria scutellari unica notatis, 

 suturali, externisque 8 minus approximatis dense punctatis, stria 7™^ mox pone hu- 

 merum, alteris versus apicem levioribus, 6*" solum Integra ; tibiis antennarumque art. 

 2ndo 3io 4to que rufescentibus. Long. -2. 



Size of N. porrectus ; but the striae are more densely punctured, less obliterated, and 

 the feet and antennoe black. It resembles much N. confusus Lec. (semistriatus Say, 

 teste Harris), but the 1'' stria is not curved and exarate at tip, the base of the anten- 

 nae less decidedly pale, and the scutellar stria is not double.
