last two bands more or less completely confluent. This species seems to be 
most abundant on the Pacific slope. It is generally found at high elevations 
on species of Umbelliferae. 
Two hundred and one specimens have been examined from British 
Columbia, Oregon, Alberta, Idaho, Montana, and Michigan. New Hamp- 
shire, Ontario, and Newfoundland are also given in literature. 
Type locality: St. Ignace, lake Superior. The type locality of hirtella 
is Labrador.

“Leptura miquelonensis n. sp. Oblongus, postice attenuatus, luteo pubescens, niger 
tibiis ad basin tarsisque pro parte testaceis, elytris testaceis, postice ante apicem trans- 
verse nigro fasciatis, et apice nigro notatis. Long. 13 mill. Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. — 
Ressemble un peu k L. fulva Deg. avec la tete plus grosse, 1’ avant-corps assez dens6ment 
pubescent et les riytres fasci6s de noir avant le sommet, cette fascie interrompue a la 
suture." 
It is not possible to place this species definitely from the description, 
but it is probably a male of tibialis Lee.

Length 9 to 14 mm. The great difference in this species between the 
sexes, the great variety of maculation, the variation in the punctation and 
the subtruncate, evenly or acutely rounded elytral apices, have led to 
many specific descriptions. This is the only species in the group known to 
us having but one spur on the posterior tibia of the male. 
The elytra are testaceous or reddish, typically with four black bands, 
much as in crassicornis and tibialis , the first band directed obliquely caudad, 
the other three transverse. The first two bands are variably reduced to 
spots, and in the male the first two bands are in many cases nearly obsolete, 
with the last two more or less confluent, in some cases covering nearly the 
caudal half of the elytra. The males are usually much smaller than the 
females. Many pairs collected in the field have been examined in this 
study. 
L . muleibris Csy. has minor distinctions, such as the smaller punctures 
of the metepisternum and the less strongly produced scutellar lobe; it 
may prove to be a distinct species. 
Two hundred and sixty-seven specimens have been examined from 
Colorado, Utah, Idaho, California, Oregon, Washington, and British 
Columbia. In literature, Nevada also is cited. 
Host plant: Pinus (Craighead). 
Type locality: Steilacoom, Washington.

Le Conte 1 says: “This species is apparently the Western analogue of 
A. octonotata but is much larger and the spots differently formed and 
arranged.”
