22 GOLEOPTERA OF KANSAS 



AMPHIONYCHA LEG. 



A. ardens, minus elongata cylindrica, atra, pube nigra erecta vestita, capite fronte vittisquc dua- 

 bns postice divergentibus Icete flammeo-pubescentibus, thorace supra flammeo-pubcscente, vitta 

 dorsali atra, latitudine sesqui breviore, lateribus parum sinuatis, elytris thorace paulo latioribus 

 grosse punctatis, margine lateral! ad humeros latiore, et ad dodrantem extenso ornatis. Long. 

 35. 



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

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

 vittae 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. siibarmata, 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. 



JBDILIS SERV. 



JE. spectabilis, niger subtiliter dense cinereo fuscoque pubescens, thorace fusco maculis albis con- 

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

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

 pubescentibus, apice fuscis, 5to fasciculo apicali recurvato interno 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. 



LEOTA FABR. 



I. I riTirgata, 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 parce punctato ; elytris fortius 

 punctato-striatis, interstitiis postice haud elevatis, vitta suturali alteraque submarginali 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. 



COSCINOPTERA LAC. 



C. franciscana, oblonga, antice angustior, postice vix attennata, nigra, subtus densius, supra 

 sat dense albido-tomentosa, thorace latitudine sesqui breviore, lateribus obliquis parnm rotnndatis, 

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

 18 -20
