kteralibus longitudinalibus,) elytris rugose punctatis, guttis flavis quatuor smpc deficientibus. Long. -3G— 4S.

Middle and Northern parts of the United States, very abundant at Lake Superior. The 
variations in size or absence of spots are sufficient to account for Laporte s synonyms. 
The tip of the abdomen is broadly rounded, and subtruncate.

Middle and Southern States. This species differs from all the preceding ones by the 
tip of the abdomen having a small transverse elevated line very near the margin, as in 
Cinyra, the tip itself being slightly truncate. 
Apatura caudata Lap. & Gory, Mon. Buprest. 1, 8; tab. 2, 13, does not belong to 
this genus; the figure represents a species of Dicerca, and the description is comparative 
with D. acuminata. It is probably identical with my Dicerca caudata.

Oregon. Closely related to the three following, but distinguished by the granules of 
the elytra being less elevated, and by the sculpture of the thorax. The latter is twice as 
wide as its length, very much rounded on the sides, with all the angles rounded: the disc 
is very slightly convex at the middle, and becomes broadly concave at the sides; there 
are four very faint foveas placed transversely, and a slight vestige of a dorsal channel: the 
surface is covered with very shallow punctures, forming the usual reticulation, but very 
faint, and almost obsolete each side before the middle. Front scarcely concave, hairy. 
Body beneath black, abdomen shining, feebly reticulate with punctures.
