ate ; the strife not distinctly punctured, obsolete 
on the lateral submargin, and not so obvious at 
tip as on the disk ; marginal ocellated punctures 
about seventeen ; near the tip rather slightly sin* 
uate ; third interstitial tripunctured, the two an- 
terior punctures at the third stria. 
Length less than nine-twentieths of an inch. 
Resembles the preceding but the thorax at base 
is wider and the body is longer. In the propor- 
tion of the base of the thorax it corresponds with 
F . ilUgeri, Panz., but .aside from colour it may 
be distinguished by the obsolete lateral stri©, the 
much less dilated thoracic basal lines, &c- 
(Platysma, Sturm, Dej.) 
4. F, oblongo-notata^ Dark reddish-ferrUgi- 
nous ; elytra with 5 or 6 large subsutural punc- 
tures. 
Inhab. N. \V, Territory. 
Body with a hardly perceptible metallic gloss : 
head darker : thorax with the dorsal line very 
distinct ; lateral basal lines well indented and 
with obsolete confluent punctures ; posterior an- 
gles angulated : elytra striated ; five or six large 
indented punctures placed somewhat alternately 
on the second and third strise ; marginal ocellate 
punctures with their regions indented. 
Length nine-twentieths of an inch. 
This is the analogue of the F. oblongo-punc- 
tata,F. corresponding in the punctures of the 
elytra ; but differing in colour, and having the 
thorax somewhat more robust. 
5. F. c/e^arca. Reddish-brown ; thorax punc- 
tured on the anterior and posterior margins. 
Inhab. Mexico. 
Bpdy reddish-brown, rather pale : head much 
darker, tinged with blackish, impunctured : «w- 
tennce short, not reaching the base of the thorax : 
thorax rather abrubtly contracted behind ; ante- 
rior and posterior margins deeply punctured, the 
punctures of the former not extending to the late- 
ral margin ; lateral margin with a puncture fur- 
nishing a hair on the middle and another on the 
posterior angles, which are rectangular ; dorsal 
tine distinct, but not deeply impressed ; basal im- 
pressions dilated and with all the base punctur- 
ed : elytra with slender strise, not deeply impres- 
sed, but with very distinct punctures ; seventh 
stria obsolete towards the tip : epipleura and all 
beneath paler. 
Length nearly half an inch. 
The light colour, with the punctured anterior 
and posterior thoracic margins, will distinguish 
this species. ■

Soc. I think this is the insect that Dejean has 
recently placed in Ziegler’s Genus My as a:nd;de-

agrees perfectly with his description, but as the
