Descriptions of New 



The shape of the body is quite that of the former but the 

 insect is larger. The head is less distinctly punctured than 

 in the former and there is an additional impression in the 

 middle of the forehead. The thorax is also less deeply punc- 

 tured, but the divisional furrow is more so than in the preced- 

 ing species. The anterior tibiae appear somewhat less deeply 

 notched. There is nothing else to add to the description that 

 has not been pointed out already. 



41. Heteroglossa bimaculata, 1ST. 



H. subcastanea, thorace dilutiore, capite rufo-testaceo, elytris ante 

 medium, maculis 2 flavis, pedibus abdominisque apice testaceis ; long, 

 corp. 5^ lin. variat colore obscuriore et dilutiore. 



Ubi prsecedentes sed infrequenter legi. 



Head, with the exception of the forehead, deeply punc- 

 tured, with two impressions in front of the eyes, anterior angles 

 of labrum rounded. Thorax densely and deeply punctured, 

 with elytra thinly pubescent. The latter with a round 

 yellow spot at the middle of either. This species is capable 

 of discharging a pungent, blistering liquid of brown color 

 and strong smell from the anus. I have often handled the 

 other 2 spec, but observed nothing of the kind, 



Note on Baeysomus Gyllenliali. Dej. 



A gross oversight of the vesture of the anter. male tarsi and some 

 incorrect information regarding the insect I received from Europe led 

 me into the error of describing it as new in the first edition of these 

 papers. However, having since examined it more closely, I may men- 

 tion here that joints 2-4 only of the anterior male tarsi are furnished 

 with squamulse below, and not joints 1-4, as stated by other authors.
