The females we have seen are much larger than the unique male 
examined by us, and are much longer than the females of crassipes Lee., 
with the sides of the elytra parallel and the abdomen black. Our single 
male has the elytra narrowed toward the apex and the abdomen rufous. 
This species is apparently rare in collections and the females of A. tibialis 
Lee. are in some cases confused with it. The pronotum is opaque in 
tibialis and shining in behrensii. 
Eight specimens have been studied from Washington, Oregon, and 
British Columbia. California is also cited in literature. 
Type locality: Mendocino county, California.

Length 10 to 12 mm. Mr. Leng gives 10 to 20 mm. This is a black, 
shining species, the elytra typically with four pairs of irregular or triangular 
fuscous spots, the first pair basal, the second before the middle, the third 
behind the middle, the fourth before the apex. In some specimens the 
elytral spots are reduced in number and in others they may be larger and 
nearly or quite confluent. 
Fifteen specimens were examined from North Carolina, Pennsylvania, 
Ohio, Ontario, and Massachusetts. Other localities cited in literature: 
Virginia, Alberta, Mississippi, Illinois, “Canada West,” New York, and 
Wisconsin. 
Host plant: “Hickory?” (Bland). 
Type locality: Mississippi. 
(29) Anoplodera cockerelli Fall, 1907, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., vol. XXXIII, 
p. 251. 
Length 9 to 13 mm. We have seen this species in collections under 
the name carbonata Lee., which is an entirely different species. A. cock- 
erelli is entirely black, shining, and varies somewhat in punctation. One 
specimen, kindly loaned us by Mr. Chas. Liebeck, has the elytra somewhat 
bluish. 
Professor H. F. Wickham informs us that his specimens from Colorado, 
reported as carbonata Lee,, are actually cockerelli Fall, which had not been 
described at that time. 
Four specimens examined from New Mexico, Arizona, and Colorado. 
Type locality: Beulah, N.M.

oculea Csy., 1913, Mem. on the Coleop., vol. IV, p. 204, 
(cT). 
Length 21 to 24 mm. This species is very common in Sierra Nevada 
mountains, central California. The black markings vary greatly in different 
specimens and with freshly emerged individuals are in many places very 
faint. The type of oculea Csy. is a narrow male, probably not distinct from 
valida Lee.
