Found in the same localities and associated with L. pusillus 
and L. purpureus. This species may be readily distinguished 
by the bronze color of the body, the extreme type of the pointed, 
projecting mesonotum, and the peculiar arrangement of the 
ocelli in the elongate eye spot. 
Note 1. One other form quite numerous about Columbus 
has been described as a Lepidocvrtus by Marlatt in 1896, in The 
Canadian Entomologist, vol. XXVIII, pg. 219, also in U. S. 
Dept. Agr. Bull., No. 4, pg. 81-83. This species he names L. 
americanus, however it proves to be synonomous with Seira 
nigromaculata Lubbock, which has been reported from Minne¬ 
sota by Guthrie. Superficially the species possibly resembles a 
Lepidocyrtus, but does not have the projecting mesonotum, 
while the antennal joints are much longer in proportion than is 
found among the species of Lepidocyrtus.
