34 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 
i1., fig. 8, var. B.—Length of body 434 lines. Several specimens taken in 
Lat. 54° and 65°, and in the Rocky Mountains. 
Body as it were reticulated with numerous punctures, bronzed, more 
obscurely on the upper surface, more glossy on the lower. Head very 
thickly punctured, obsoletely and slenderly channelled; apex of the nose 
levigated : prothorax transverse, with a double sinus in the basilar margin; 
obsoletely channelled, impressed on each side nearer the base, covered : 
with innumerable scratches variously drawn, those of the disk being 
somewhat concentric; sides punctured: scutellum very minute, trans- - 
verse : elytra very thickly punctured, and also exhibiting an appearance 
of granulations, slanting at the apex; the disk of the elytra, nearer the 
apex than the base, is marked with three yellow roundish dots arranged 
in an obtuse-angled triangle with the vertex towards the side: underside 
of the abdomen towards the anus less thickly punctured. 
Variety B. Elytra with four yellow dots, a minute one, but varying in 
size, being placed outside the anterior one. [Belongs to A/édanophila 
Esch. “Oregon and Washington Territories, abundant, straying into 
California and Alaska.” (Le Conte).] ; 
213. BUPRESTIS (TRACHYPTERIS) UMBELLATARUM Fadr.—Length of 
body 234 lines. Several specimens taken near Cumberland-house, Lat. 54°. 
[160.] The description that Fabricius and Olivier have given of ZB, 
umbellatarum is so, extremely brief, that I am by no means certain that 
the insect I here give under that name is really synonymous with it. As 
far as their description goes it corresponds, and also with Olivier’s figure, 
but that is very indistinct. It has been found in Barbary, Portugal, and 
Provence. Fabricius says it affords no characters except its colour and 
smooth elytra; but it will be found upon a close inspection, I speak 
with regard to the American specimens, to exhibit several. 
Body biack-bronzed, covered all over as it were with a fine net-work, 
produced by minute lines as if scratched by a pin or needle ; above dull, 
below glossy. Antennae much shorter than the prothorax: prothorax 
transverse with rounded sides, and longitudinal basilar impressions near 
each posterior angle: scutellum triangular: elytra with three very slight 
impressions arranged longitudinally ; an obsolete series of punctures runs 
parallel with the lateral margin ; apex obtuse and very minutely serrated : 
prosternum acuminate.
