Oval, rather robust. Color very variable, usually dull yellow with the 

 front, a large spot on thorax and one to three transverse rows of spots on 

 elytra, piceous; sometimes wholly black or piceous, shining. Head rather 

 densely and finely punctured; clypeus nearly semicircular in outline, the 

 sides divergent behind the middle. Thorax one-half wider than long, sides 

 curved; surface coarsely and rather deeply but not densely punctured. 

 Elytra with rows of coarse, deep, closely placed punctures the rows near 

 suture very irregular. Pygidium rugulose at base, smoother at apex. Claw 

 joint of front tarsus distinctly toothed beneath when viewed from side. 

 Length 6-7.5 mm. 



Throughout the State : common, April 23-July 21. Occurs es- 

 pecially on the flowers of wild rose and Jersey Tea and at electric 

 light. Specimens occur in which the elytra are wholly pale, dull 

 yellow. According to Dr. F. Ohaus, who examined the type of 

 Fabricius, innuba is the species commonly listed as minuta Burm. 

 Dr. Horn gave innuba as a doubtful synonym in his bibliography, 

 p. 164, loc. cit Dr. Ohaus shows the true minuta Burm. to be a 

 small form from the Southern States, belonging to the subgenus 

 Rhomb onyx, in which the tarsal claws are not cleft.
