NOTE ON ARADUS ORNATUS (Say). 
Herbert Osborn. 
Aradus ornatus was described by Say in 1831, since which time 
it has remained almost unrecognized, the only record being that 
of Bergroth who mentions a specimen* and suggests that the sjDe- 
cies that had usually borne this name in collections was one to 
which he gives the name “ duzei.” 
A short time ago in looking over Mr. Dur\-’s interesting col- 
lection I found three specimens of this sj)ecies, which was new to 
me, and with his kind permission they were brought to Columbus 
for stud}’. Careful comparison with the related species and Say’s 
description proved them to be certainly his ornatus and it is no 
small pleasure to add this rare and handsome species tf> our local 
fauna. As Say’s description was written from specimens taken 
in Indiana, presumably in New Harmony, these captures at Cin- 
cinnati may be considered quite near to the type locality, and 
since they agree in the minutest details with Say’s description, 
they may be considered as typical examples for the spe ies. 
The species agrees with robnstus and duzei in having swollen 
antennae but differs from both in the three shiny spots at the 
hind border of the pronotum, and from robust us in the much 
lighter color.
