and acute at tip ; tarsal claws simple, 

 recognized by Horn probably occur in the State 



Small oblong or oval, 

 dull yellow or blue and yel- 

 low species, resembling 

 Longitarsus in general ap- 

 pearance, but having the 

 elytral punctures in dis- 

 tinct rows on base and 

 sides, often confused at 

 tip ; the first joint of hind 

 tarsi not more than one- 

 third the length of tibia?; 

 antenna? slender, as long as 

 half the body, first joint 

 cylindrical, second conical, 

 more than half the length 

 of first, joints 3 to 7 gradu-

 8 to 10 shorter, 11th longer

KEY TO INDIANA SPECIES OF GLYPTINA. 



a. Elytra yellowish or reddish-yellow. 



1). Striae on sides of elytra, especially the ninth, deeper than those of 

 the disk; body beneath brown. (Fig. 525.) brunnea. 

 bl). Striae on sides faint ; body beneath brownish-piceous, very rarely 

 pale. 2208. spuria. 



aa. Elytra bine, with metallic lustre ; head and thorax reddish-yellow. 



c. Thorax somewhat wrinkled, vaguely punctate ; elytral stria? much 

 confused at apex. 2209. bicolor. 



cc. Thorax smooth, or very finely and sparsely punctate ; elytral stria? 

 entire, not confused. 2210. cyanipennis. 



Glyptina brunnea Horn, reddish-brown, legs and antenna? paler,

 Thorax one-half wider than long, not narrower in front, sides obliquely 

 truncate near front angles and ungulate in front of middle ; disk rather 

 coarsely and sparsely punctate. Elytra distinctly wider at base than tho- 

 rax, feebly striate, the stria? coarsely and closely punctate ; intervals wider
