3. *AFFiNis. — Nigra subtiliter pubescens ; thorace lateribus late fulvis ; elytris reticulatis fascia media 



angusta integra, apiceque late nigris. Long. -45 : lat. '23. Habitat in Territorio Missouriensi. 



Prascedenti affinis, thorace lateribus rectis, disco latiore nigro, fasciaque elytrali 

 angustiore, recta distincta videtur. 



Thorax latitudine brevior, antice angustatus, apice acutius rotundatus, lateribus 

 regulariter ampliatis vix sinuatis ; angulis posticis modice productis, acutissirnis, basi 

 profundius bisinuato, disco valde concavus, niger, lateribus late luteis ; insequalis, 

 profunde biimpressus, acute carinatus. Scutellum nigrum. Elytra postice leviter 

 dilatata, reticulata, costis alternatim elatioribus, fascia media recta integra, maculaque 

 apicali quadrantem occupante antice rotundata, nigris. Subtus nigrum, femora 

 antica basi lutea, 



4. DOUSALis. — Nigra tenulter pubescens, thorace nigro, lateribus late luteis ; elytris reticulatis, fascia lata 



transversa, ad marginem abbreviata, apiceque late nigris. 



Habitat in Alabama : Mus. Dom. Haldeman. 



Digrapha dorsalis Newman. V. 381. 



Charactes duplicatus Hd. Proc. 1. 303. 



Charactus inquinatus Dej. Cat. 



Fascia elytrali ad marginem abbreviata valde distincta. 



5. *AriCALis. — Nigra, subtiliter pubescens, thorace antice parum angustato, apice subangulato, flavo, vitta lata 



nigra; elytris flavoluteis, apice late nigris. Long. "65 : lat. -35. Specimen unicum in Missouri inveni. 



D. terrninali, subtus descriptse simillima ; at thorace latiore, antice parum angus- 

 tato, lateribus multo magis rotundatis, sinuatisque, disco pone medium non elevato, 

 elytrisque basi subgibbosis facile dignoscitur. 



Thorax capite duplo latior, latitudine paulo brevior, antice vix angustatus, apice 

 obtuse angulato, lateribus valde rotundatis, postice sinuatis, basi profunde bisinuato, 

 angulis posticis productis acutissirnis ; disco modice concavus, late biimpressus, medio 

 carinatus ; luteus, vitta lata nigra. Elytra ad humeros subgibbosa, sicut in aliis reti- 

 culata, costis sequaliter elevatis ; lutea, macula magna apicali trientem occupante 

 ccBruleo-nigra. 



tfThorax capite vix sesqui latior. 



6. TERMiNALis. — Nigra, subtiliter pubescens ; thorace nigro, lateribus luteis, elyti'is reticulatis flavo-luteis, 



apice late nigris. Long. -55 : lat. -32. Habitat ubique minus frequens. 



Lycus terminalis Say. iii. 178. 



Thorax latitudine non brevior, antice angustatus, apice rotundato, medio subangu- 

 lato, lateribus vix sinuatis, angulis posticis leviter productis, acutis, basi bisinuato ; 

 disco modice concavus, pone medium utrinque profunde impressus, acute carinatus, 

 pone medium anguste rhomboidaliter elevatus; elytra flavo fulva, macula apicali 

 trientem occupante coeruleo-nigra.
