Chrysomela vespehalis. 

 Chrys&mela- vespe)-aUs Scudd., Tert. rhynch. Col. U. S., pi. 2. fig. 27 (1892). 



A species is indicated of about the size of C. elegans Oliv., and is 

 presei"\^ed so as to show a dorsal view. The head is moderately large, 

 about two-thirds the width of the thorax, and is coarsely, distantly, and 

 very feebly punctate; the antennse are nearly a third longer than the head 

 and thorax together. The thorax is twice as broad as long, with well- 

 rounded sides, and the surface is punctate like the head, but a little more 

 distinctly. The elytra are nearly twice as broad as the thorax, with well- 

 romided humeri and longitudinal series of shallow circular punctures, 

 removed from each other in the same row by about their own diameters. 



Length, 4.6 mm.; breadth of thorax, 1.4 mm.; of elytra, 2.6 mm. 



Florissant, Colorado; one specimen, Nos. 7851 and 10416.
