 tdta^ which I have not found in this region.

 some particulars not noticed above, we have thought 

 proper to insert it in this place. Puh. Com,'] 



C- cinerea. Cinereous ; elytra with abbreviated 

 blackish lines. 



Inhabits Indiana. 



Body cinereous, covered with minute scales : head in- 

 ec[ual : thorax inequal, anterior angles not excurved : ely- 

 tra with largely punctured striae, the interstitial lines 

 convex, subequal, the alternate ones a little larger ; 

 numerous abbreviated fuscous or blackish lines, hardly to 

 be traced into three or four very oblique bands. 



Length seven twentieths to two fifths of an inch. 



A larger species than the cajpitdta^ Fabr. and very 

 distinct, though the inequalities of the head and thorax 

 are somewhat similar. It is common about old frame 

 houses. I have received a specimen from Mr. Bara- 

 bino.
