A New Species of Saperda. 

 By Louis H. Joutel. 



On a recent visit to Philadelphia to examine and study the 

 material in the collections of the late Dr. G. H. Horn and the 

 American Entomological Society, for a forthcoming paper on 

 the genus Saperda by Dr. E. P. Felt and myself, I found in 

 the collection of Dr. Horn several females of an undescribed 

 species having characters of both calca?ata and mutica, but 

 specifically distinct from either. The specimens in the Horn 

 collection were isolated by Dr. Horn who evidently considered 

 them as diiferent. 



Since then I have received material from the National Mu- 

 seum, Washington, D. C, and found in it a fresh male of the 

 same species. I take pleasure in naming it in memory of Dr. 

 Horn.
