REVISION OF THE BUPRESTIDjE OF THE UNITED STATES. 
209 
Oregon and Washington Territories; abundant. Nearly allied to the preceding, but 
differs by the sides of the thorax being considerably more rounded, and by the head 
having spots between the antennae, sometimes united into a trilobed spot, and at the upper 
part of the eyes: these latter spots sometimes extend inward so as to form an interrupted 
band. The lateral spots of the abdomen are small and frequently wanting except on the 
last segment, where they are large and frequently unite to form a transverse band. 
The apex of the abdomen of the male is broadly emarginate, and the anal plate is sub¬ 
acuminate: the spots of the head in my specimen are larger and confluent, so that the 
face is fulvous, with two black frontal spots, but this is probably an individual, and not a 
sexual character. 
In the female the apex of the abdomen is truncate, without prominent angles. 
Kirby states in his description that there are two distinct anal teeth: this character 
would throw some doubt upon the correctness of my determination. There is however 
no other to which his description will apply, and the discrepancy can be understood if it 
be supposed that his specimen was a male. 
V^-15- A. paganorum. Buprestis (Anoplis') paganorum Kirby, Fauna Bor. Am. 152. 
Found in Lat. 54°; unknown to me, but probably, from its resemblance to the preceding, 
belonging to this division: from the allied species, it differs by the thorax being constricted 
anteriorly, and furnished with a dorsal channel.

1C. A. s u 1 c i c o 11 i s, supra obscure ameo-viridis, latiuscula convexa, thorace grosse dense punctato, profunde 
canaliculato, antrorsum angustato, lateribus medio fere angulatis, postice sinuatis, elytris dense rugose punctatis, 
sutura, costula scutellari, margine, costisque 4 valde elevatis laevibus, 3ia valde abbreviata, ad apicern subprolon- 
gatis, truncatis, subtus vii^Hi-aenea. Long. -62. 
One specimen, Lafte Superior. Related to the next, but much stouter and more convex, 
like A. 1 a u t a, but from that as from the others it is readily distinguished by the deeply 
channelled thorax, which is angulated on the sides, and by the elytra obliquely narrowed 
and slightly prolonged at the apex, with the 3rd costa very short. The tip of the abdomen 
is broadly rounded.
