the scutellum, which runs along the base and down the suture ; the second 
in the middle first running transversely, then turning upwards towards the 
base and again turning down so as to form a hook next the suture; the 
third near the apex, running transversely from the external margin to the 
suture and then turning upwards so as to form another crescent; there is 
also a dot between the two first bands near the lateral margin ; there is a 
large hairy white spot on the sides of the breast, and the anterior ventral 
segments have a white hairy band at the apex: the legs are rufous, the 
hinder pair remarkably long.

236. CLYTUS MURICATULUS X77by.—Lençgth of body 5 limes. Many 
specimens taken in Lat 54°. : 
This comes extremely near to the preceding species, but is smaller, the 
discoidal ridges of the prothorax are nearly obsolete, that part has four 
white hairy spots, the bands of the elytra are differently shaped, and the 
posterior legs are considerably shorter: the breast and base of the abdo- 
men underneath are hoary with white hairs, but not always spotted and” 
branded. 
[Has not been identified as a distinct species. | 
[178.] 237. Harctum [ RHAGIUM] LINEATUM Ofv.—Length of body 
5% lines. ‘Taken more than once in Lat. 54°, and also by Mr. Drake in 
the province of Massachusetts. 
Body black, rather glossy, hoary from longish cinereous hairs. Head 
constricted behind into a neck, punctured with large scattered punctures ; 
antennae shorter than the prothorax, robust, last joint ovate, pedicel tes- 
taceous : prothorax constricted anteriorly and posteriorly, armed on each 
side by a stout rather sharp spine, punctured like the head, and hairy, but 
there are three longitudinal stripes without hairs, and the intermediate one 
without punctures, the lateral ones pass over the spines: elytra mottled 
with whitish or cinereous hairs, with three longitudinal ridges, the two 
external ones confluent near the apex, and a little higher up including 
between them a short abbreviated ridge; the interstices are punctured 
like the head and prothorax ; at the base and lateral margin the elytra are 
reddish, and on the ridge next the suture there are two yellowish spots: 
coxae, trochanters, and base of the thighs reddish: abdomen carinated 
underneath. 
[Taken generally from Philadelphia northwards, under the bark of 
pine trees. |
