REVISION OF TOE BUPRESTID7E OF TIIE UNITED STATES. 
Wi 
One female, Santa Fe, Mr. Fendler. Also nearly related to A. consularis, but broad¬ 
er, with the sides of the thorax only slightly sinuous. The elytra, as in it, are marked 
with only a few scattered punctures. The only spots seen beneath are two small discoidal 
ones on the antepenultimate and penultimate ventral segments, and a transverse one each 
side of the last segment, extending to the margin. The tip is truncate, with the angles 
not prominent. 
12. A. subornata, latiuscula, supra nigro-senca, vel viridirenea, fronte antice fulvo-maculata, thoracc an- 
trorsum augustato, lateribus rectis, puuctato, linea dorsali angusta lsovi, elytris apice fere rotundatis, striatis, iuter- 
stitiis punctis paucis notatis, alternis paulo elevatis, abdominis segmento 1 mo late, 2 et 3 obsolete sulcatis, 2-4 utrin- 
que maculis duabus fulvis plus minusve conjunctis, 5to maculis duabus transversis ornato. Long. -7 ’8. 
California and New Mexico. Nearly related to the next, but broader, with the sides 
of the thorax straight, the dorsal line narrower and the other elevations very indistinct: 
the 3d and 4 th segments of the abdomen and sometimes the second, have moreover two discoi¬ 
dal orange-coloured spots connected more or less with the lateral ones. The punctuation of 
the middle of the abdomen is less strong than in the next, and the 2nd and 3rd segments 
are feebly sulcate. The last segment of the female is truncate, with scarcely prominent 
angles. 
The specimen from New Mexico is black bronzed, that from California is of a tolerably 
brilliant green above and bronzed beneath. 
13. A. maculiventris. Buprestis maculiventris Say, LoDg’s Exp. to St. Peters River, 2, 272. B. 
scxnotata Lap. & Gory, Mon. Buprest. 2, 129, tab. 32, f. 178. 
Pennsylvania, Lake Superior and Newfoundland. The sides of the thorax aic rounded 
and suddenly incurved posteriorly. The last ventral segment of the abdomen is broadly 
rounded, with a small but distinct tooth each side. 
The head has usually only a small yellow spot above the antennae. In one female 
there is besides a large trilobed spot between the antennae, and a spot each side adjoining 
the upper part of the eye: in it the last ventral segment is broadly truncate, without any 
teeth, and I am inclined to believe that it will eventually prove to belong to a distinct 
species. 
Laporte and Gory’s figure and description represent a brighter coloured individual than 
any before me, but not more so than the variety of the preceding species above mentioned. 
14. A. rustic or urn, nigro-aenea, subnitida, capite guttis fulvis notato, thorace latitudine breviore, antrorsum 
augustato, lateribus late rotuudatis posticc incurvis, punctato, liuca dorsali callisc|uc pluribus loevibus, angulis 
anticis fulvis, elytris apice subtruncatis striatis, interstitiis puDctis paucis notatis, alternis paulo elevatis, abdominc 
for titer punctato, segmento lino sulcato, ultimo maculis duabus fulvis ornato. Long. -65—-92.
