 the pronotum as well as in the male antennae.

This species extends over Canada and our northern states 

 from the Atlantic region to Minnesota and, in the mountains, it 

 reaches Georgia. The thorax becomes less rugose in the variety 

 glabricollis, described from Indiana, to which I refer with some 

 doubt a specimen in the U. S. Nat. Mus. from Missouri, in which 

 the legs are entirely red. Further collections from that region 

 may show this to be representative of still another variety. In 

 the variety rugosecollis, described from the mountains of Georgia, 

 the greatest length, as well as the greatest development of the 

 transverse rugae of the pronotum, is attained. 



A. appalachiana n. sp. 



Slender, parallel, slightly broader behind, shining green above, 

 darker green beneath, abdomen bronzed, antennae, tibiae and tarsi 

 testaceous. Antennae 5 with the last joint as long as the three 

 preceding joints combined {(^ unknown) ; head coarsely, con- 

 fluently punctate, thorax similarly punctate, both glabrous ; elytra 

 also coarsely, confluently punctate and with a few long, black, 

 hairs. Beneath the surface is nearly impunctate, shining, except 

 the closely punctate sidepieces of mesosternum. 

 •Length, 10, to 11 mm. 



Type in U. S. N. M. collection from Pennington Gap, Va., 

 June 30 (Hubbard and Schwarz). Other specimens collected by 

 Wm. Beutenmiiller, Graybeard Mt., N. C., June 25, and Black 

 Mts., N. C., June 20, are in Am. Mus. Coll. and my own. 



A. pilosella n. sp. 



Elongate, subcylindrical, slightly broader behind, greenish or 

 greenish coppery bronzed, shining, antennae, tibiae and tarsi pale 

 testaceous, abdomen dark bronzed. Upper surface of thorax and 

 elytra clothed with long thin, dark hairs. Head and thorax 

 coarsely punctate, punctures somewhat irregular towards base of
