Pilatei Guerin (Dromochorus). Blackish-gray above, shining black 
beneath, Head large, smooth; labrum advanced, in the middle three 
toothed; thorax cylindric, longer than broad, with faint impressions; | 
elytra twice longer than broad, oval, with green punctures on the disc, 
in a row near the suture and dispersed in its neighborhood. 
The var. Be/fragei Salle, is more black, elytra smooth or punctured, but 
no green punctures. ‘This variety has been for many years in every 
collection as Pilafec Guer I received in 1874 from Mr. Emil Schor- ° 
bach in New Orleans a few specimens, being gray and having the 
green punctures, which Dr. Leconte described as maga. M. A. Salle 
from Paris saw them in Leconte’s Collection and to show the wander- 
ings of a type I quote Mr. Salle’s words: ‘I know that the type of 
““Dromochorus | Pitater| had passed from the collection Pilate to that 
“of Mr. J. Thomson and that Mr. Janson had bought the latter and 
sold half of it to Mr. Edwin Brown, In the collection of Thompson 
“there were two specimens of this insect, Pilate’s type (coming from 
‘Velasco, Tex,), and a specimen he had bought in 1861 from Mr. H, 
“Deyrolle, who had received it from Mr, Perroud, who had received it 
‘from Dallas, Tex.”—That is what I call the predigree of an Insect! 
All my specimens of Pi/azez are from the North shore of Lake Pont- 
chartrain, La.; those of Be/frager are found in Tex. and Kans. in July 
and Aug, Length 12—15 mm.
