have been compelled to separate the latter, and have 
given it the name of Crcurus Leonárdii, with the fol- 
lowing characters. 
Cycurus LEONARDII. 
Black ; head transversely. striated ; thorax wiola- 
ceous; sub-quadrate, narrowed behind ; elytra broad 
ovate, carinated at. the sides, bronzed violet, deeply 
crenato-striated. 
Length, including the siasitbles. from eleven to thir-. 
teen lines. 
Head black, Si tinged with violet, with transverse 
strie or minute wrinkles between the eyes. Thorax 
violet colored, sub-quadrate, rounded at the sides before, 
and narrowed a little behind; the lateral margins are 
broad and obliquely elevated, especially towards the. 
base; the middle is smooth, with a longitudinal im- 
pressed line; the sides and base are punctured, and the 
latter has a deep transverse depression before the hind 
margin. The elytra are violaceous and bronzed ; they - 
are of a btoad ovate and almost cordate form, particu- 
larly in the females, moderately convex, and with a 
sharp, elevated, lateral carina ; the strie are distinct, and 
crenulated or punctured on their sides, but become ob- 
solete towards the tip, which is rough, with irregular 
dilated punctures. Epipleuræ bronzed violet, rugosely | 
punctured. Body beneath and legs black. 
Inhabits the northern and western parts of Massachu- 
‘setts and New Hampshire. 
Hitherto I have mistaken this very fine species for 
the viduus, and it is entered under this name in the 
VOL. III.—-NO. IT.
