l74 DESCRIPTIONS OF AND OBSERVATIONS ON 



33. E. injiatus, Nob. (Ann. Lye. Nat. Hist.). Resembles holose- 

 riceus, Fabr., but is still more robust, the thoracic spines are longer, 

 and the thoracic punctures more obvious. — Inhab. also Massachusetts. 

 Harris. 



34. Fi. fenestratus, Nob. (Ibid.). As respects the elytral spot, it 

 may be compared to the higuttatus^ Fabr., but is not much longer 

 than the head and thorax of that species. 



35. E. obliquus. Piceous; thoracic disc and elytra blackish; the 

 latter with an oblique spot before the middle. — Inhab. Indiana. 



Body yellowish-piceous, punctured, with yellowish hairs: head 

 black: clypeus not much elevated, obtusely angulated at tip ; labrum 

 piceous: antennse distinctly serrate; second joint two-thirds the length 

 of the third ; fourth to tenth subequal ; ultimate one not suddenly 

 contracted near the tip: thorax blackish on the disc; lateral edge ar- 

 cuated near the anterior angles, rectilinear from before the middle to 

 the tip of the spines; spines moderate, not distinctly carinate: elytra 

 with punctured striae, and slightly punctured interstitial lines; a very 

 oblique yellowish band from the humerus, gradually dilating to the 

 suture and terminating before the middle, leaving a rather large black 

 scutellar area : pectus paler than the postpectus : feet paler than the 

 pectus : tarsi and nails simple : venter with an obsolete darker vitta 

 each side. — Length nearly one-fifth of an inch. 



This species somewhat resembles the areolatiis, Nob. 



To this division of the genus must be added those species which I 

 have described under the following names, viz. : badius, erosiis, rotun- 

 dicollis, plebejus, erytropus, collaris, rubricus, mendica, silaceus. quer- 

 cinus, basilaris, and areolatus, as well as the stigma and nigricollis, of 

 Herbst, 



1 1 Tarsal joints lobed beneath. 



36. E. lobatus, Nob. This species, Germar thinks, is the castani- 

 pes. Herbst; but it certainly cannot be castanipes, Fabr. The anterior 

 part of the clypeus agrees with that of Campylus, Fischer. 



37. Bilobatus. Dark chestnut; front indented; spines obtuse; 

 second and third joints of the tarsi lobed beneath, — Inhab. Indiana. 



jSoc/y dark chestnut, punctured, with numerous short hairs; head
