Fourteen specimens are before us from Florida, Georgia, Virginia, 
New Jersey ; Texas, and Alabama. Mr. Leng cites New York to Florida. 
Host plants: dead stumps of the genus Pinus. 
(3) Typocerus badius Newm., 1841, Ent., p. 69. 
Length 15 mm. The female in the Canadian National collection is 
black, shining, with four, narrow, transverse, reddish-yellow bands on the 
elytra; antennae short, reaching little beyond the middle of the elytra, 
tempora very short and strongly constricted; the pronotum trapezoidal, 
as wide as the humeri at the base, the sides nearly straight, gradually 
narrowed, and suddenly constricted at the anterior margin, about as long 
as the width; with a transverse band of dense, yellow pubescence in front 
and behind, the disk convex, sparsely clothed with long, erect, black hairs, 
coarsely, sparsely punctate and shining; elytra cuneiform, finely punctured, 
somewhat more sparsely towards the base, shining, with four, reddish-yel- 
low, transverse bands; the basal band reduced to a scutellar spot, the ante- 
median band narrow, arcuate, from the side margin almost to the suture; 
the postmedian band strongly widened toward the suture; the anteapieal 
band reduced to a spot near the suture; the apices feebly dehiscent, and 
very strongly obliquely truncate, feebly emarginate, appearing decidedly 
acuminate; the femora, tibiae, and apex of the abdomen red; forecoxal 
cavities nearly closed behind; proepisternal pits large and numerous. The 
Leconte specimen has the colour of the elytra chocolate brown with the 
spots indistinct. A male in the collection of Mr. Liebeck has the elytra a 
uniform reddish brown, with pronotum slightly inflated in front and 
antennae nearly the length of the body. 
This beautiful species is apparently very rarely found in collections. 
We have seen only the specimen in the Leconte collection, obtained from 
the British Museum, one specimen in the collection of Mr. J. N. Knull, 
one from Mr. Liebeck’s collection, one in the U.S. National Museum, and 
one in the Canadian National collection described above. 
Distribution: Florida. 
Type locality: St. John’s bluff, Florida. 
(4) Typocerus lugiibris Say, 1823, Jour. Acad. Phila., vol. 3, p. 419. 
Length 8 to 10 mm. The specimens we have seen are not margined 
with paler pubescence on the prothorax, either apically or basally. 
Four specimens are before us from southern Illinois, Kansas, and 
Ontario. 
Host plant: Pine stumps (Craighead). 
Type locality: “Lower Missouri.” 
(5) Typocerus lunata Fab., 1 1801, Syst. EL, vol. 2, p. 364. 
arcuata Oliv., 1795, Ent., vol. 4, p. 73. 
(?) lunulatus Swed., 1 1787, Nov. Act. Stockh., 8, 3, n. 3, 18. 
Length 9 to 11 mm. A southern species, easily recognized by the 
characters given in the key. 
Thirty-nine specimens were examined from Alabama and Texas. 
One is labelled “Alameda eo., Calif.,” probably by mistake. Other localities 
in literature: North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida; Pennsylvania to 
Georgia (Leconte).
