Twenty-nine specimens were examined from Pennsylvania, New York, 
Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Ohio. Other localities cited in literature: 
New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, and 
Michigan. 
Type locality: “Amer. boreal.”

minuta Csy., 1924, Mem. on the Coleop., vol. XI, p. 284. 
Length 5 to 8 mm. This species seems to be confined to the regions 
of California south of San Francisco, and possibly eastward to Texas. 
The pattern of the maculation appears to be fairly constant in all 
specimens we have seen. The apical segments of the abdomen are rounded 
in both sexes; the 1st segment of the hind tarsi is densely hairy beneath. 
L. minuta Csy. may eventually prove to be distinct. 
Twenty-four specimens have been examined from the region between 
San Francisco and San Diego, California. 
Type locality: Fort Tejon, California. 
(17) Anoplodera isabellae Hopping, 1922, Can. Ent., July, p. 162. 
Length 6 to 8 mm. This species has been found in collections under 
the name sexspilota Lee. It differs from sexspilota distinctly in the char- 
acters given in the key. 
Seven specimens examined, one from Nevada and six from California. 
Type locality: Isabella, Kern county, California. 
(18) Anoplodera scapularis Van D., 1920, Brook. Ent. Soc., vol. 15, p. 43. 
Length 8 mm. Only the type is known. 
Original description of Anoplodera scapularis Van Dyke: 
“Short, black, with triangular, orange red patches at the humeri and a small, tail- 
like appendage extending onto the epipleurae, with short, rather sparse grey pile covering 
all of the body except the black portions of the elytra and most evident on the pronotum 
and underside, and a black pile covering the black parts of the elytra. Head with mouth- 
parts but moderately prolonged, broad between the eyes, not very suddenly constricted 
back of eyes, with a broad neck, coarsely, densely punctate, opaque; antennae moderately 
stout and extending slightly beyond middle of body. Prothorax campanulate, as broad 
as long, three-fourths as broad as base of elytra, base twice as broad as apex, transverse 
basal impressions shallow, posterior angles short, narrow, and extending directly outwards. 
Sides not dilated in front of middle, the disk closely, coarsely punctate and opaque. 
Scutellum rather finely punctate. Elytra twice as long as broad, humeral angles rounded 
and not very prominent, sides a bit arcuate and slightly convergent to apex, apices obliquely 
truncate, disk distinctly and moderately punctate. Length 8 mm., breadth 3 mm. 
Type, as unique in my collection, captured at Havilah, California, June 19, 1905, by 
Mr. Fordyce Grinnell. 
This very distinctly marked Leptura would come in our tables perhaps fust before 
L. sexspilota Lee. The protborax is of about the same type as in that species, although the 
insect is as a whole somewhat larger, generally more robust and with an entirely different 
colour pattern, not only from that but from any having a similar shaped prothorax. Some 
few of our Lepturas have the humeri often with triangular patches of red, as for instance 
an occasional L. canadensis Fab., a male of L. laetijica Lee.; and so forth, but these all 
differ very greatly from this otherwise. The species is evidently extremely local or else 
very rare as this is the only specimen that I have seen." 
Type locality: Havilah, California. 
(19) Anoplodera swainei Hopping, 1922, Can. Ent., July, p. 163. 
Length 7-5 to 8 mm. This species is of the form and size of sex - 
spilota , black, with the legs and antenna more or less testaceous. The
