10. Entomobrta perpulchra, PacTc. 



1873. Degeeria perpulchra, Pack. Thys. Essex Co., Mass. p. 38. 



" An exceedingly beautiful species, sinaller than usual. Body 

 rather ovate in form ; third abdominal segment rather long. 

 Antennae rather short and thick and more hairy than usual ; 

 third joint rather shorter than the fourth, the latter joint 

 more ovate and pointed than usual. Clavate hairs on the 

 head and thorax ; end of the body and elater quite hairy. 

 Antennae purplish, concolorous with the head and thorax. A 

 broad conspicuous band runs along the side of the head, in- 

 cluding the eyes ; a similar line on front and side of thorax. A 

 much broader, conspicuous, black dorsal band on third thoracic 

 (the first or prothoracic not seen from above) segment. The 

 abdomen and basal half of the elater honey-yellow ; end of the 

 elater whitish ; lower edge of second joint rather coarsely serru- 

 late, the joint dilated where the teeth end, beyond simple, flexed 

 as usual ; this portion not so long and slender as in many species ; 

 the terminal hairs do not reach to the end of the third joint ; this 

 latter joint much as usual, with a stout long terminal tooth and
