middle band and the usually complete apical lunule, the anterior port- 
tion of the latter connected with a discoidal dot. Eyes moderate, legs” 
stout, shorter, This species is easily distinguished from the other 
species with red abdomen by the shape of the middle band which 
descends less obliquely and has the terminal dot heavier. 
Var, pacifica Schaupp. In size, shape and sculpture exactly agreeing 
with haemorrhagica, it differs only by the color of the elytra which are 
olivaceous, opaque greenish or bluish, head, thorax, margin, suture and 
apex of the elytra more shining, no markings at all. It occurs inter- 
mingled with the type equally numerous on the ocean shore in San 
Diego, Cal. while haemorrhagica is also found in Utah and Nev. 
Length 13—15 mm. 
Lee. Ann. Lye. V, 171. 
Rufiventris Dej. Dark brown, head and thorax slightly bronzed above, 
and bluish green beneath, abdomen rufous. Head slightly granulate, 
glabrous; labrum one-toothed; thorax finely granulate; elytra finely 
punctured, with five small white dots, a humeral, a marginal behind the 
middle and two discoidal ones and an apical lunule, all more or less dis- 
tinct. It differs from the following species by the dots of the elytra being 
very small and sometimes more or less wanting, the middle band is 
represented by two dots, the outer one being remote from the margin 
and not larger than the inner one. Eyes moderate, legs slender. 
Occurs in D. C., Va, W. Va., Ky., Md., Ala. Length 11.5—12 mm. 
Var. cumatilis Lec, Differs from rujfiventris by the bluish green surface, 
and has the same small more or less deficient markings, Occurs in 
Texas. Same size as the type. 
Var. 16 punctata Klug. Of the same color as rujiventris, differs from it 
by having an additional white dot representing the posterior portion 
of the humeral lunule, and the apical lunule broken at middle, so that 
each elytron has eight dots; which are heavier than in rufventras. 
Occurs in New Mex. and Mex. Length 12 mm.

Hentzii Dej. Dark, nearly black, beneath bluish green In form and 
sculpture precisely similar to rujiveniris and so closely connected that 
it might properly be considered a race of this species; it differs by the
