F Elytra reddish-brown, with narrow, transverse, yellow bands, 
punctation small and close in front, finer and denser towards the 
apex. (9) velutinus OHv. 
FF Elytra black, reddish behind, with wide, transverse, yellow bands, 
punctation small and close throughout, not quite so close as in 
velutinus, with the surface more distinctly sliming. 
(10) trimacidatus C. and K, 
EE Elytra black with transverse, yellow bands and the pubescence of the 
dark areas mostly golden, punctation moderate in size and density, 
pronotum distinctly inflated in front. (11) manitohensis n. sp. 
AA Antenna? brown or rarely with the distal segments black, with segments 7 to 11 with 
impressed poriferous areas. 
B Front of head elongate, length from transverse impression to clypeal suture dis- 
tinctly more than half the width at the impression; pronotal punctures small; 
antennas at most only moderately stout ( $), with poriferous areas rather wide 
and of moderate size. 
C Fifth ventral of male very widely, deeply excavated; fifth ventral of female 
with a broad, feeble median sulcus which is interrupted before the apex by 
a transverse carina; antennse moderately stout; elytra usually with dark 
colour predominating. (12) conjluens Csy. 
CC Fifth ventral of male emarginate and only very feebly excavated at apex; 
fifth ventral of female with a broad, shallow median sulcus extending to the 
apex, without a transverse, subapical carina; antennae slender; elytra with 
pale colour predominating along the suture. (13) sinuatus Newm. 
BB Front of head very short, length from transverse impression to clypeal suture dis- 
tinctly less than half the width at the impression; pronotum with punctures 
coarse and dilated, smaller at base and apex; antennae very stout, with por- 
iferous areas very narrow. (14) gloriosa Hop.

Length 10 to 12 mm. The apices of the elytra are strongly obliquely 
produced, acuminate; the type has the elytra ferruginous, without spots; 
several of the type series have the spots very faint. Our series varies 
considerably in colour markings, some having the elytra almost uniformly 
reddish or testaceous. The maculate specimens of this species have a 
superficial resemblance to velutinus Oliv. 
T. thoracicus Csy., a single specimen, without place label, differs 
from acuticauda only in the somewhat paler colour and in the pronotum 
being more strongly widened in front. When more examples are available 
this may prove to be a distinct species. 
Eleven specimens were studied from Massachusetts, Connecticut, 
Nova Scotia, Ontario, Virginia, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia, in addition 
to the type series of eleven specimens in the Casey collection. In literature, 
Pennsylvania and New Jersey are cited. 
Type locality : “Mass.”

Length 10 to 14 mm. A black species, the venter densely clothed with 
pale pubescence; the pronotum bordered with golden pubescence in front 
and behind; the elytra with four transverse, reddish-yellow bands, 1st 
basal, interrupted at the humeri, 2nd antemedian, 3rd postmedian, 4th 
anteapical.
