OF AMERICA NORTH OF MEXICO. 173 



Middle and Southern States. The thorax is sometimes marked with three fuscous 

 spots. By actual inspection I have found Haldeman's Amniscus lateralis to be a 

 specimen with the pubescence removed. In good specimens the hair is so long as to 

 entirely conceal the punctures. Mr. Haldeman is certainly in error when he refers 

 Kirby's Graphisurus pusillus to this species. 



12. L. ciNEREUS, saturate testaceus, brevius testaceo pubescens, fusco variegatus, thorace antrorsum 

 augustato, confertim punctato, lateribus ante spinam rectis, elytris grosse punctatis, lineis vix elevatia 3 

 vel 4 nigro puoctatis, lateribus strigaque valde obliqua pone medium infuscatis, antennis pedibusque 

 annulatis. Long. -27. 



Georgia ; rare. Form and size of the preceding, but the color is darker, the hair 

 much less long, so that the punctures are distinct. The antennae and feet are 

 variegated. The posterior mark of the elytra is as oblique as in L. alpha. In one 

 specimen the truncate tip of the elytra is almost emarginate. 



13. L. RUSTicus, saturate testaceus, dense cinereo-pubescens, thorace antrorsum vix angustato, lateribus ante 

 spinam rectis, subtiliter punctato, elytris grosse punctatis, lateribus ante medium strigaque obliqua pone 

 medium fuscis, antennis pedibusque vix variegatis. Long. -2. 



One specimen; western New York. This species resembles very much L. alpha : 

 the pubescence appears less dense (but the specimen is badly preserved) : the thorax 

 is scarcely narrowed in front, and the posterior streak of the elytra is less oblique. 

 The general form is narrower. 



14. L. MISELLUS, saturate testaceus, breviter cinereo-pubescens, vix fusco nebulosus, thorax subtiliter 

 punctato, lateribus ante spinam subrotundatis, elytris punctatis, lineis duabus vix fusco variegatis, 

 maculaque utrinque obliqua subsuturali pone medium ornatis, antennis pedibusque vix annulatis.

Illmois, Mr. Wilcox. This is the smallest species I have seen. The punctures 

 are smaller than in the preceding species, and the slight rounding of the sides of the 

 thorax at once distinguishes it from them. 



15. L. Haldemani, fusco testaceus, subtiliter dense cinereo-pubescens, thorace antrorsum angustato fusco 

 variegato, lineis duabus ochraceis ornato, lateribus rectis, spina laterali angulo basali valde approximata, 

 elytris irregulariter subseriatim punctatis lineolis ochraceis fuscisque variegatis, antennis annulatis, tibiis 

 apice tarsisque nigris. Long. .28. 



Alabama. I take great pleasure in dedicating this pretty little species to the 

 distinguished author of the systematic catalogue of North American Longicornia ; 

 the thorax is not punctured on the disc, but margined before and behind with large 

 punctures ; the posterior edge of the lateral spine communicates directly with the 

 basal angle, which is thus rendered very obtuse.
