476 BULLETIN: MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE ZOOLOGY. 
Elytra nearly four times as long as the prothorax, minutely pune- 
tulate and clothed like the rest of the upper surface, apices bluntly — 
pointed. Legs in very poor condition but apparently of normal 
thickness for the genus. Length, to elytral apices, 10.15 mm.; of 
elytron, 7.50 mm. 
Described from one specimen. 
Type.— No. 2,634 M. C. Z. Florissant, Col. (No. 11,266 S. Hy 
Scudder Coll.). 
Easily distinguished from either of the other two Florissant species 
by the much greater size which slightly exceeds that of the average 
specimen of the recent 7. canadensis. 
HALTICA RENOVATA, sp. nov. 
Plate 12,,ihg, 2, 
Form oblong-ovate, moderately stout. Head showing no characters 
except those exhibited by one antenna which is incompletely preserved 
but the five joints that remain, with the less defined remnants of two 
more, are slender as in recent species of the genus. The entire upper 
side is hidden in the type, but the elytral epipleural margin does not 
indicate striation nor heavy punctuation, and from this fact and the 
lack of sculpture showing through the body we may infer that the 
surface was merely finely punctulate or smooth. Anterior coxae 
large, probably not separated for their full length by the prosternum. 
Under surface of the trunk, including the abdomen, with no conspicu- 
ous sculpture. Hind legs with strongly swollen femora, the tarsi 
crossed so as to hide their articulations. Length, 5.25 mm. 
Described from one specimen. 
Type.— No. 2,635 M. C. Z. Florissant, Col. (No. 7,296 S. H. 
Scudder Coll.). Probably the same species is represented by No. 2,636, 
2,637 M. C. Z. (No. 7,736, 3,507 S. H. Scudder Coll.). 
It is possible that this is not a true Haltica but the general agreement 
is sufficiently close. 
SYSTENA FLORISSANTENSIS Wickham. 
To this species probably belong four specimens, No. 2,638-2,641 
M. C. Z. (No. 413, 3,430, 8,933, 9,615 S. H. Scudder Coll.). Like | 
the type, they show the underside only.
