78 FIFTH REPORT OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL COMMISSION. 
Mr. George Hunt has found the beetle uuder the bark of au old 
BQgar maple tree in northern New York, among the Adirondacks. 
Lana —Body of the usual shape, near that of Phyinatodes. Prothorax less than 
out -half as long as wide : disk exactly one-half as long as wide ; the disk is smooth 
on the posterior half, irregular on the frontedge, with a hroad, irregular median lobe 
in front ; the front edge of this smooth space is often tinged with dark. In frout of 
this smooth area is a clear, pale, hairy space, and still beyond (anteriorly) are two 
irregularly oval spaces which are hairy and irregularly spotted, and often tinted 
dark. The under side of the prothoraeic segment is quite hairy, with minute oval 
pat (lies among the hairs, and with two conspicuous small, dark, diverging patches 
on the middle of the segment, but situated rather far apart. Mesothoracic segment a 
little narrower than the prothoraeic and shorter than the metathoracic segment, the 
latter a little shorter and but very slightly wider than the mesothoracic segment. 
Body contracted on the sixth abdominal segment, which is considerably narrower 
than the succeeding part of the abdomen, the seventh abdominal segment being wider 
than the sixth and of the same width as the eighth ; the ninth much shorter and two- 
thirds as wide as the eighth. The tenth segment small, one-half as wide, but nearly 
as long as the ninth. Abdominal segments two to seven with transversely oval, 
raised, smooth callosities, those on the sixth and seventh being round instead of 
oval ; beneath are similar callosities. 
Head a little over one-half as wide as the prothoraeic segment ; antennae three- 
jointed ; second joint one-half to two-thirds as long as the first and one-half as 
thick. Third minute, about one-third as long as the second joint is thick. Maxilla 
with the lobe as wide as the basal joint of the palpus and reaching to the end of the 
second palpal joint; the maxilary palpi four-jointed, the second joint one-half as 
wide as the first; the third just two-thirds as wide as the second ; the fourth as long 
but one-half as thick as the third. 
Labium with the ligula small and rounded, not more than one-third wider than 
the basal joint of the labial palpus, the latter two-jointed, the second joint nearly as 
long and about two-thirds as thick as the first. Mentum deeply cleft, one-half as 
long as the submentum. 
Labruin small, rounded, not so long as round; surface convex, with dense hairs. 
Mandibles obtuse, rounded, not toothed. 
Thoracic spiracles in the middle of the mesothoracic segment, with the usual eight 
pairs of abdominal ones. Length of body, 17 mm ; width of prothoraeic segment, 
4,5mm • length, 2 mm ; width of seventh abdominal segment, 3 mm . 
Pupa. — Prothorax well rounded, as in Clytus beetles ; antennae sleuder, curving 
backward and reaching to tne distal end of the middle femora. Femora much swol- 
len, but the legs beyond slender, as in the beetle. (It will not be difficult to distin- 
guish the genus, from the peculiar form of the thorax, the swollen femora, and the 
slender legs and antennae.) Abdomen short, end of hiud femora extending to the 
third segment from the end of the abdomen. Length, 12 to 13$" ,m . 
The end of the body terminates in a pair of incurved hooks on each side, the inner 
pair a little smaller than the outer. Six large recurved spines on the penultimate 
abdominal segment, the other ahdominal segment with about two irregular rows of 
minute stout spines adapted for progression. 
Beetle. — Body rather long and narrow, not so broad and thick, nor the prothorax 
so spherical as in A', undulatus; prothorax with the sides regularly arcuate, two ashen 
spots on each side in front and behind, and a curvilinear spot jnst behind the middle. 
Wing-covers with three broad, irregular, waved pale bands, the first a little in front 
of the middle, the second much behind the middle, and the third situated on the 
tips. Antenna' and legs dark-brown; reddish-pitchy in immature specimens. A 
large, round yellow spot on the side between the middle and hind legs, succeeded by 
vertical linear spots on the hinder edge of the abdominal segments. Length, 8 to 
16 mm .
