Of the one hundred and seventy specimens examined there were 121 
with the elytra black and a red basal band, 18 with the elytra red or red 
with the apices black, 21 with the elytra entirely black, and 10 with the 
elytra black, excepting minute basal red spots. The localities represented 
in this collection extend from the Mexican line northward to Alaska, east- 
ward to the Atlantic, and from Michigan south to Pennsylvania. 
We are unwilling to make any specific distinction in this material and 
it is all left for the present under the name canadensis Oliv. 
Host plants: Pinus, Tsuga (Craighead), Picea (Felt), Pinus strobus 
(J.M.S.), Pinus ponderosa (Hopping), 
(46) Anoplodera planata n, sp. 
Length 14 mm., male. General habitus of L, canadensis Oliv. Colour 
black, tibiae, tarsi, and elytra reddish brown, the latter without markings 
in the type. 
The head is inflated and abruptly constricted behind the eyes, the 
antennas distinctly, though not very strongly, serrate, uniformly black. 
The pronotum is slightly longer than wide, gradually, distinctly narrowed 
toward the front, the sides arcuate, broadly, strongly constricted in front 
and behind; the anterior and caudal impressions very deep and continuous 
across the dorsum, giving the disk a decidedly inflated appearance, but 
with the disk only feebly convex, subplanate, with the area about the 
median fine broadly feebly impressed, more strongly in front; the disk 
densely punctured, the punctures of moderate size, here and there indis- 
tinctly confluent; the punctures smaller and denser about the median line 
in front; the anterior impression shining with the punctures indistinct; 
the pubescence distinct, recumbent, and pale brown in colour, the caudal 
angles of the disk somewdiat protuberant, as in certain Acmaeops. 
The elytra are elongate, feebly dehiscent at the apex, the apices 
obliquely emarginate with the lateral angles acute, the side margins only 
feebly sinuate; the punctation small and rather close, finer and closer 
toward the apex; the pubescence recumbent, distinct, pale brown and 
obliquely arranged. The last ventral segment is flattened, widely, deeply 
emarginate, with the angles acute.

Length 10 to 18 mm. This is one of our most widely distributed 
species. Specimens from high altitudes in many cases have a darker 
coloration diffused toward the sides and apices of the elytra. 
Two hundred and twenty-three specimens have been examined from 
New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, 
British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfound- 
land, and Massachusetts. Other localities cited in literature: Hudson 
bay, Michigan, lake Superior, Maine, and New York. 
Host plants: Pinus fiexilis , Pinus ponderosa (Craighead), Pinus 
ponderosa (Hopping). 
Type locality: Nova Scotia.
