1966 a ( j. MONOHAMML S TITILLATOE CAEOLINENSIS OHv., EntOUL, IV. 



1795, 85. 



Form of titillator but smaller and more cylindrical. Color much paler, 

 the pubescence ash gray variegated with brown, the piceous spots of titil- 

 lator almost wholly absent. Thorax coarsely and roughly punctured on 

 center of disk; finely, transversely wrinkled near base and apex. Elytra 

 coarsely and rather closely punctured on basal half, more finely and sparse- 

 ly toward tips, which in both sexes are rounded, the sutural angle evident 

 but obtuse. Length 13-18 mm. 



Lake and Porter counties; scarce. May 25-June 29. Occurs 

 on the Northern scrub pine, Finns banMsiana Lam. Usually con- 

 sidered a synonym of titillator, but in my opinion a distinct variety. 

 It is the same as LeConte's minor.
