- .. Mordellistena rufescens nobis No. 16 La Agrees in all respects 
with the type in Dr. Horn’s Collection. 
Mordellistena unicolor Lec. No. 17 Dac. This is a pale form of 
the species which varies from black to pale yellow : I suceeded last season 
in collecting a goodly series showing many varicties. 
Mordella immaculata sp. nov. Terminal joint of maxillary palpi 
broad, securiiurm ; Slender ; entirely black suture narrowly clothed with 
white pubescence, else immaculate, 6mm. Had. D.C. No. 19. 
This species is the most slender of those in this genus and is 
readily distinguished from the others by this character. The form of palpi 
allies it most nearly to zsu/ata. 
Mordellistena aethiops nobis, No. 28 & 29 Col. Neb. Agree in 
all respects with my types. 4 
Mordellistena aemula Lec. No. 22 Kansas. ‘The second specimen 
I have seen. MJeadily recognized by its large size and mottled elytra, 
Mordellistena suturella Hel. Nos. 25 & 26, Col. & D.C. These 
are the first specimens of the species I have seen. ‘The tarsal ridges seem 
indistinct, and I at first thonght the specimens to be aethiops, but the 
sutural and marginal pubescence may be relied upon to seperate the two 
by superficial examination.
