The two last insects answer well to the characters of Pyrochroa as given 
by Latreille and Lamarck, and cannot be referred to any other genus 
mentioned in the books. The palpi in both have their last joint larger, 
subsecuriform. The penultimate article of the tarsi is remarkably bifid. 
Their antennz have subcylindrical joints, and are insérted into a groove 
of the eye-

14. N. nemorenszs. Black, baits mouth and hoes ferruginous, with 
three basal impressions black; elytra punctured, substriate; suture raised. 
Length 3-1oths of an inch. . yay he 
Inhabits the woods of North Carolina. . 
This interesting insect is probably rare, for I never saw but one speci- 
men, found in May. The second joint of the antennz is shorter than 
the first and the third; and all the joints are very hairy, The maxillz - 
which are usually bent under are nearly as long as the antenne. 
In the above descriptions it is not unimportant to observe that Dr. T. 
W. Harris has found in the vicinity of Boston Cicimdela formosa, which 
Mr. Say described from specimens brought from the Missouri by Mr. 
Nuttal. He and I have also found there Clytus speerosus, described by Mr. 
Say, in the Appendix to Long’s Expedition of 1823, as discovered on the 
banks of the Wisconsan, Prairie du Chien. I have seen in North 
Carolina a number of insects which he had found only in the west.
