coppery at middle and strongly punctured, while the white markings 
are nearly smooth. Along the green lateral margin of the elytra are a 
few green punctures. Eyes very large and prominent, legs very long 
and slender, anus and hind trochanters testaceous. Elytra scarcely 
serrate at tip, which is slightly prolonged and has a sutural spine in 
the ({' and is equally rounded in the Q. Occurs in Tex. and La. 
(Miesche). Length 1o.5—tr mm.

Severa Laf. Dark green or black, beneath green, sparsely hairy at 
the sides. . Head glabrous, nearly polished, deeply striate at the sides; 
labrum short, broad, acutely three-toothed; thorax scarcely rugose al- 
most polished, impressions not deep; elytra near base strongly, toward 
apex more obsoletely punctured, with a deep longitudinal impression 
behind the humeri and a row of more or less distinct foveze near the 
suture; the markings consist of a white sub-marginal dot and a com- 
plete apical lunule; in some specimens there is an additional sub-— 
marginal white dot, representing the terminal part of the humeral 
lunule. Eyes large, legs shorter, stout, anus dark or testaceous, 
elytra of Q somewhat flatter. Occurs in La., Tex., New Mex. Length 
12-5—16 mm.

Striga Lec. In shape, color, and markings closely resembling severa, it 
differs by the deeper punctures of the elytra by the form of the labrum, 
which is without a tooth in the ¢', and only one-toothed in the 9; 
the head not concave between the eyes. Although inclined to consider 
this species only a variety of the preceding, I can not say anything 
positively, as I could only examine two specimens superficially. Found 
in the twilight or night near camp-fires in Fla, (Lake Harvey) by 
Mess. Hubbard & Schwarz. Length 13.5—to 16.5 mm.

- Haemorrhagica Lec. Greenish black, beneath, head thorax dark 
green, abdomen rufous, scarcely hairy at the sides. Head finely granul- 
ate, glabrous; labrum one-toothed; thorax finely granulate, little hairy 
at the sides. Elytra not deeply punctured with a humeral white spot, 
a posthumeral near the margin, the middle band obliquely bent before 
the middle of the elytra, a marginal dot at the middle between the
