Phsenops mirandus LEC. Proc. Acacl. Nat. Sc. VII, 83. 



One specimen found at Fort Union, by Major Sibley. This is the most elegant 

 species of the genus, the name of which seems by no means appropriate, yet being 

 older than that of Phccnops must be retained.

Santa Fe : Mr. Fendler. Broader and more robust than the other species found 

 in the United States, and easily known by the sculpture of the thorax. The latter 

 is twice as wide as its length, very deeply channelled in the middle, with a broad 

 shining sparsely punctured entire vitta each side of the channel, and another each 

 side which does not reach the apex ; the depressed portions are opaque and very 

 densely punctured. The elytra are wider than the thorax, serrate at the sides 

 and apex, with an entire elevated shining line near the suture, dilated anteriorly 

 so as to reach the suture, and an entire slender elevated line parallel with the outer 

 margin ; between these are two elevated lines which are confluent in two places, 

 and interrupted behind the middle ; the base is very deeply foveate as usual : the 

 depressed portions are all densely punctured, and without lustre. Body beneath 

 coarsely punctured, prosternum flat, covered with long white hair, with a slightly 

 elevated smooth medial line. 



C. Cllprascens, obscure cupreo-aenea, longiuscnla, minus depressa, fronte viridiseneo, dense 

 punctato pubescente, thorace irregulariter punctate, vage impresso et subcanaliculato, elytris 

 confertim punctatis, utrinque biimpressis, liueis nitidis elevatis, suturali marginalique integris, 

 discoidali iuterna bis interrupta, externa ad medium postice abbreviata. Long. -31.

One specimen : Mr. Fendler. Resembles some of our smaller species, but is more 

 convex and more coppery. The posterior impression of the elytra is deeper and 

 larger than the anterior one, and although slightly lobed is not sinuous; the 

 elevated lines are nearly smooth. The anterior tibise of the male are slightly bent, 

 and armed with a tooth internally near the tip. 



PSILOPTERA SOLIER. 



P. \\oO4lliou-fi, senea, nitida, chalybeo-variegata, thorace confertim punctato, brevi, lateribus 

 valde rotundatis, antrorsum angustato, angulis posticis rectis, elytris apice integris, seriatim 

 crenatis, maculis irregularibus opacis transversis profnnde impressis. Long. - 72 -97. Tab. II,
