254 REVISION OF THE BUPRESTIDA OF THE UNITED STATES. 
postice obtusa, basi profunde transyersim impressa: scutellum parvum triangulare. Pedes haud retractiles, tibiis 
angustis, tarsis tibiis duplo brevioribus articulis 1—4 subtus longe lobatis, 5to longiore tenui, unguiculis haud 
connatis, basi late obtuse dentatis. Abdomen segmentis 1 et 2 sutura obsoleta, ultimo late rotundato. 
This genus is represented by a single species, the smallest Buprestide known to me. 
1. H. subcyaneus, cylindricus, niger nitidus, glaber, haud dense punctatus, capite canaliculato, thorace la- 
titudine paulo breviore, conyexo, lateribus valde rotundatis, elytris basi fortiter transversim impressis, lateribus 
pone humeros foveatis, thorace paulo angustioribus, nigro-cyaneis, apice obtuse rotundatis. Long. -08—-10. Tab- 
XIL,, fig. 8. 
Middle, Southern and Western States; on leaves or flowers, captured in the sweeping 
net; rare. The body is punctured beneath, very much as on the upper surface, but the 
punctures of the anterior part of the abdomen are a little less impressed. The lateral im- 
pression of the elytra behind the humerus is small.

Meanorrita Esch. 
10. M. prasina, latiuscula, supra cyaneo-viridis, dense rugose punctata, brevissime pubescens, thorace latitu- 
dine breviore, antrorsum paulo angustato, lateribus late rotundatis, medio obsolete canaliculato, disco cyaneo, late- 
ribus late viridibus, elytris apice subtilissime serrulatis; subtus cupreo-zenea, punctata, breviter cinereo-pubescens.

San Mateo, California; sent me by Andrew Murray, Esq., of Edinburgh. Of the same 
form as M. fulvoguittata, but finely pubescent like M. eneola. The fifth ventral 
segment is subtruncate, with the apical margin depressed. 
ACMODERA Esch. 
11—12. A. Hepburnii, subcuneiformis, obscure zenea, hirta, thorace latitudine duplo breviore, lateribus 
oblique rotundatis, sat dense punctato, medio triangulariter, versus latera oblique profunde impresso, lateribus 
postice flavis; elytris striis punctatis, postice et extrorsum impressis, interstitiis uniseriatim punctulatis; margine 
ante medium, vitta a basi ad medium extensa, cum margine fascia lata connexa, fasciis duabus obliquis posticis, 
guttaque apicali flavis, postice serratis, conjunctim rotundatis; subtus fortiter punctata, modice pubescens. Long. -39. 
One specimen sent me with the others here described, by Mr. Murray. I have dedi- 
cated it to Mr. William Hepburn, of San Francisco, by whom it was collected. It has 
nearly the form of A. pulghella, but is quite distinct by the above characters. There 
are two small marginal black dots, the first at the junction of the anterior fascia with the 
margin, the other in the second fascia. 
CurysopoTuris Hsch. 
5—6. C. semisculpta, depressa, minus elongata, obscura, senescens, capite antice minus dense punctato, 
cuprascente, thorace antice paulo latiore, lateribus rugose, medio parcius punctato, subcanaliculato, elytris costis 
solitis interruptis parce punctatis, macula transversa antica, alteraque postica sinuata impressis, sat dense puncta- 
tis, serratis singulatim rotundatis; subtus cupreo-anea, prostcrno grossius punctato. Long. -44.
