This is the only species known to me having the sutural margin pale.

Variat elytrorum lineis viridi-zeneis. 
Coney Island, near New York: Trenton, New Jersey: the variety was found in Mis- 
souri, and kindly given to me by Prof. Agassiz, and by Dr. Hoy. This species is found 
on very white sand, such as is seen forming sand-hills near the ocean. 
GROUP XIV. 
Maritime or salt marsh species of the ordinary form; the head is glabrous, slightly 
striate near the eyes, which are very large: labrum one-toothed, short: palpi of both 
sexes pale with black tips. Thorax very finely granulate, very sparsely hairy. Elytra 
with narrow markings hardly connected at the margin: middle band very tortuous ; mar- 
gin with a supplementary spot before the apical lunule. Under surface moderately hairy 
at the sides. Legs moderately long, slender; tarsi of the male as usual. 
' 42. C. ascendens, supra fusco-enea, thorace distincte subtiliter granulato, elytris disperse profunde viridi- 
punctatis, lunula humerali inflexa apice hamata, fascia media tortuosa cum linea brevi marginali coniuncta, macula 
laterali parva lunulaque apicali antice inflexa oblique prolongata vix hamata albis, ad apicem oblique rotundatis 
serrulatis. Long. -438.

Georgia and West Indies. It is perhaps only a variety of the next, from which it dif- 
fers only in having the anterior inflexed portion of the apical lunule obliquely prolonged, 
instead of being bent into a rounded hook. 
43. C. serpens, supra fusco-cenea, thorace distinct subtiliter granulato, elytris disperse profunde viridi-punc- 
tatis, lunula humerali inflexa subhamata, fascia media tortuosa cum linea marginali coniuncta, macula laterali 
parva lunulaque apicali antice inflexa et hamata albis, ad apicem serrulatis. Long. -43—-47.

Femina elytris pone medium latioribus ad apicem magis rotundatis.
