248. LEPTURA SUBARGENTATA Xrby.—Length of the body 4 lines. 
Taken in Lat. 65°. 
Body narrow, entirely black, very minutely and thickly punctured, 
.underneath glittering, but less conspicuously with silver pile; antennæ 
shorter than the body, nearly filiform, fourth and fifth joints of equal 
length; prothorax perfectly. bell-shaped, anteriorly not constricted, 
posterior angles acute, diverging and covered with silver pile: elytra 
rounded at the apex. [Taken in Canada and Lake Superior. | 
[185.| 249. Leprura simitis X?r6y.—TLength of body 3% lines. A 
single specimen taken in Lat. 65°. 
This may possibly be the other sex of the preceding species which it 
resembles in every respect, except that the antennæ are rather longer, the 
scape or first joint, all but the base on the upper side, is rufous, as are 
likewise the thighs and four anterior tibie; the posterior thighs are 
however black at the apex. 
250. LEPTURA LONGICORNIS A7zréy.—Length of body 5 lines. A 
single specimen taken in Lat. 65°. 
At first sight this species a good deal resembles Z. semivitfata and 
gulosa of the former section, but its eyes are entire, and its antennæ 
much slenderer and of a different type, more nearly resembling those of, 
L. argentata and similis. Body black, minutely. punctured, downy, 
especially underneath, with silvery hairs. Head minutely, thickly, and 
confluently punctured ; labrum and base of the mandibles rufous ; last 
joint of the palpi securiform; antennae very slender nearly as long as the 
body ; scape incrassated, rufous, black at the base: prothorax a little 
constricted anteriorly, very thickly punctured with a longitudinal dorsal 
impunctured line or channel: scutellum longitudinally concave, rounded 
at the apex; elytra nearly linear, grossly punctured, glossy, nearly black, 
with a pale stripe extending from the middle of the base to near the apex, 
and gradually approaching the suture; apex subtruncated: legs rufous at 
the base. [Belongs to the genus Acæops Lec.]
