p. 383. 
Length 12 to 14 mm. This is a narrower, more elongate species and 
easily distinguished from chrysocoma by the shorter, oblique pubescence 
and the very much coarser and sparser elytral punctation. 
Eighteen specimens examined, from New Mexico and Colorado. 
Idaho is also cited in literature. 
Type locality: Colorado.

erythroptera Germ., 1824, Spec. Ins. nov., p. 522. 
Length 10 to 13 mm. The elytra are almost uniformly red and 
opaque. We have one specimen from Ohio with the elytra black and 
another from Illinois with the elytra red but shining, both probably this 
species. The antennae are annulated in both sexes and the elytra are cunei- 
form, strongly dehiscent at the apex with the lateral margins strongly 
sinuate. 
Thirty-nine specimens have been examined from Virginia, Pennsyl- 
vania, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Ontario. Other local- 
ities mentioned in literature: Georgia, Northern Illinois, Michigan, 
Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas. 
Host plants: Hardwoods and conifers (Craighead). 
Type series: “On the Missouri and Pennsylvania.” 
(50) Anoplodera dehiscem Lee., 1859, Proc. Acad. N.S. Phila., p. 89. 
Length 9 to 13 mm. This species seems to be rare in collections. 
The elytra is ferruginous in both sexes. Superficially it resembles the 
females of A. sanguinea Lee., but it is more robust and the elytral apices 
are more strongly dehiscent. The only male we have seen was from Cor- 
vallis, Oregon, in the collection of the Oregon Agricultural college. 
Eleven specimens have been examined, all from British Columbia and 
Oregon, Washington is also cited in literature. 
Type locality: Oregon.

Length 7 to 9 mm. This species varies greatly in colour. The elytra 
may be entirely black, entirely testaceous, or bieoloured with a black basal 
lateral band, a wide black sutural band connected with the lateral band 
in front of the humeri, and a testaceous or reddish band from the humerus 
to the apex. A few black specimens have only a basal testaceous or reddish 
spot, and those with testaceous elytra may have a nebulous black area 
near the apices.
