Length 8 to 11 mm. This common species is easily recognized by the 
characters given in the key. 
Fifty-five specimens have been examined from New York, Rhode 
Island, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia. Other localities 
in literature: Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Penn- 
sylvania, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Indiana, 
“Indian Ter.,” and Ohio. The southern records may refer to trimaculatus 
C. and K. 
Host plants: decaying hardwoods and conifers (Craighead). 
Type locality: “Amerique septentrionale.”

p. 304. 
Length 15 mm. This species is closely allied to velutinus Oliv. and 
manitobensis, but is distinguished by the characters already given. We 
have seen the type, several specimens in the collection of the U.S. National 
Museum, and six specimens in the Leconte collection under velutinus . 
The colour of the elytra appears to be distinctive and the elytra are more 
distinctly shining owing to the definitely sparser punctation. The punc- 
tures are a little coarser than in velutinus and evenly distributed, not 
noticeably denser towards the apices. The proepisternal pits are also 
more numerous on the single specimen before us. 
Distribution: Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. 
Type locality: New Roads, La. 
(11) Typocerus manitobensis n. sp. 
Length 10 mm. Shape similar to velutinus Oliv. ; black with the legs 
red, tarsi blackish, the apical margin of first three ventral segments, apical 
half of fourth and all the fifth, red ; the elytra black, with four, transverse, 
yellow bands. 
The head is short and abrupt behind the eyes; antennae black, outer 
segments very feebly serrate; with very small poriferous spaces on seg- 
ments 6 to 11. 
The pronotum is shorter than the width at the base; with a strong 
anterior and basal transverse impression; sides subangulate before the 
middle, broadly concave on the caudal half, laminate and produced over 
the humeri behind; disk inflated, shining, punctation moderate, not close, 
feebly granulate; the pubescence golden, semirecumbent, somewhat 
denser in front and behind. 
The elytra are distinctly wider than the pronotum, widest behind the 
base, strongly narrowed at apex; humeri longitudinally inflated and 
reddish; apices feebly dehiscent, somewhat obliquely truncate-emarginate, 
the outer angles more strongly produced; the punctation coarse, dilated, 
but little smaller behind, not very close at the base; the surface feebly 
rugulose, but not granulate; the basal margin mesad of the humeri, the 
scutellum, and the entire suture, black; the basal, yellow, transverse band 
covering the humeri and uniting with the second, antemedian, yellow band
