1. A. eurinus. 



Lygmus eurinus Say, Journ. Acad. Phila., iv, 324, 5. 



No. 36, Harris' Collection, d, ?. "Cambridge, Mass., June 30, 

 1826; Aug. 5, 1831; Sept. 1827; Oct. 10, 1837; Dublin, N. H., July 

 22, 1836; Hallowell, Me., Mr. Randall, frequent, July, Aug.; North 

 Conway, N. H., Aug. 15, 1851; Ohio." And another specimen with 

 a printed label No. 228. 



This species is very closely related to A . calcaratus Fab., but upon 

 comparison of a large number of specimens with some from Europe, 

 I cannot believe it to be that species. Specimens from many parts 

 of the United States agree pretty well in colors with A. calcaratus, 

 but their form is proportionally much more slender, the pronotum 

 more convex, and the abdomen more obese, with the basal constric- 

 tion deeper. 



2. A. pilosulus.

 This is the Alydus vitiinosus Say of Dr. Harris' Catalogue; so de- 

 termined by Say himself.

 This is the Canadian representative of the common N. spinosus 

 Say. It belongs to the northern mountains, and to the high lands of 

 Colorado, Dakota, Washington Territory, and western North Caro- 

 lina. The specimen was determined by Mr. Say.
