4%—54 lines. Several specimens in the Rocky Mountains, and near 
Cumberland-house. 
-[161.] Body black, not glossy. Head minutely and thickly punctured, 
channelled, on each side of the channel between the eyes is an impression; 
antennae nearly as long as the prothorax: prothorax scarcely wider than 
long, channelled, with a large but shallow impression on each side ; sides 
thickly punctured so as to resemble net-work ; rounded with the basilar 
angles depressed and a little diverging: scutellum nearly heart-shaped, 
acute: elytra rough with very minute and numerous granules, and several 
very slight shallow impressions, between which runs an obsolete obtuse 
ridge from the shoulder towards the apex, serrulated at the apex, and ter- 
minating in a very sharp point: breast minutely and thickly punctured ; 
prosternum a little constricted in the middle, point triangular. [Though, 
as Le Conte remarks, this species here described is very closely related to 
the European insect to which it is referred by Kirby, it is Says’ Ae/ano- 
Phila longipes—a species not at all uncommon in Ontario, and taken also 
in such widely separated localities as Pennsylvania, Kansas and Lake Su- 
perior. | ! 
215. AGRILUS BIVITTATUS Avzrby.—Length of body 4 lines. Taken 
in Canada by Dr. Bigsby. 
[Previously described as Buprestis ( Agrilus) bilineatus Weber ; for 
description wide Say’s Ent. Works, r. 386 and 11. 596. This very pretty 
species is not uncommon in Canada, and is taken throughout the United 
States. |

Body obovate, black-blue, glossy. Sinus of the head deeper than in 
the other species; face nearly covered with glittering copper-coloured 
decumbent hairs ; antennae shorter than the prothorax: prothorax trans- 
verse, repand on each side at the base with a central lobe, concave at the 
apex ; anteriorly in the middle very convex ; sides and base depressed ; 
surface impunctured and tesselated with ruddy-copper hairs like those of 
the head: scutellum at the base transverse, with the vertex terminating in 
a long and sharp acumen : elytra with three ridges, the two inner ones less 
distinct, parallel, obtuse and abbreviated at each extremity, the external 
one distinct, acute running from the shoulder in an undulated line nearly 
- to the apex of the elytrum; several rows of larger punctures are discernible, 
‘and several spaces thickly punctured with minute ones; the elytra are
