200 REVISION OF THE BUPRESTIDA OF THE UNITED STATES. 
losity. A female from Newfoundland differs by the epipleurs being green, the under 
surface of the prolonged extremity of the elytra, blue, and by the incisures between the 
anal teeth being more widely separated. 
14. D. hilaris, cinereo-eenea, capite thoraceque viridi tinctis, hoc latitudine plus duplo breviore, lateribus dila- 
tatis rotundatis, postice sinuatis, rude punctato, inaequali, vittis quatuor nitidis elevatis, externis subinterruptis, 
sulco dorsali callo parvo nitido interrupto, elytris punctatis, striis internis punctatis, interstitiis alternis spatiis ob- 
longis nitidis elevatis ornatis, ad apicem paulo prolongatis integris, pectore late sulcato subglabro. Long. -60. 
Mas tibiis intermediis rectis, segmento ventrali ultimo truncato emarginato. Femina segmento ventrali ultimo 
apice rotundato. 
A male found at New York by Mr. H. Ulke; a female found at Brooklyn, N. Y., given 
me by Mr. Akhurst. This species is very similar to the preceding, and apart from the 
sexual characters differs only by the lateral vittee of the thorax being narrower and less 
interrupted, not being divided into two rounded callosities, and by the elytra being less 
prolonged at the apex. The middle of the metasternum is also less punctured, the epi- 
pleure are tinged with green, and the under surface of the tips of the elytra with blue; 
the body beneath is golden coppery. 
15. D. lugubris, supra nigro-enea, thorace latitudine plus duplo breviore, lateribus dilatatis valde rotundatis 
postice sinuatis, rude punctato, ineequali, callo laterali magis distincto, vitta externa elevata interrupta, sulco dorsali 
profundo callo parvo medio interrupto, elytris fere opacis punctatis, striis fortius punctatis haud impressis, inter- 
stitiis 38 et 5 spatiis paucis nitidis elevatis, ad apicem longius prolongatis rotundatis. Long. -62. 
Mas pectore late sulcato, subglabro, tibiis intermediis rectis, segmento ventrali ultimo truncato emarginato. Fe- 
mina latet. 
One specimen, Marquette, Lake Superior. Differs from the two preceding, as well by 
the deeper dorsal thoracic channel, as by the elytra being more equally punctured, with 
obvious rows of large punctures, with very few smooth elevated spaces, and also by the 
extremity being more prolonged. 
The colour beneath is dark coppery, and the punctures are hardly less numerous in the 
middle than at the sides. 
16. D. chrysea, late xneo-cuprea, thorace latitudine duplo breviore, lateribus postice parallelis antice obtuse 
angulatim rotundatis, rude punctato, postice utrinque late excavato, callo laterali altero utrinque apicali costisque 
duabus nitidis, sulco dorsali callo medio interrupto, elytris dense punctatis, striis punctatis parum distinctis, inter- 
stitiis alternis spatiis elevatis nitidis variegatis, ad apicem breviter prolongatis subemarginatis. Long. -57—-70. 
Femina segmento ventrali ultimo tridentato, dente medio latiore rotundato. Mas abdominis segmento ventrali 
ultimo truncato emarginato, tibiis intermediis intus obtuse angulatis. 
Melsheimer, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. 2, 148. 
Middle and Southern States, rare: the male was found in New Hampshire by Dr. Har- 
ris. From the other species which it resembles in sculpture it may be known by the 
body being more coarsely and less densely punctured beneath; the prosternum is less
