Sea shore near New York ; not common. Found also in Pennsylvania and New 

 Jersey. Much smaller than the preceding, and very distinct by the absence of the 

 long yellow hair, and by the elytra meeting along the suture. The abdomen and the 

 club of the antennas are as in the preceding. 



It is stated by Doubleday that he has seen specimens of this genus from Oregon ; 

 it is difficult to believe that either of the species here described have so extensive a 

 range.
