Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., lix, 476, 1908. 



More slender than most of our species ; black, vertex and front 

 white, abdomen red ; elytra minutely dotted and veined with pale. 

 Described from about Buffalo, N. Y. and reported from near the

 across the face and pectoral pieces. It has been reported from 

 New Hampshire to South Carolina and should occur in 

 Connecticut.

Has the same distribution as the preceding and must occur in 

 Connecticut.
