punctured than in the species of the other groups of this division, is broadly sulcate, and 
has two smooth lines as in division B; the mesosternum has on its prominent divided por¬ 
tions only a few distinct punctures: the metasternum and middle of first ventral segment 
are sparingly punctured. The outer costa of the thorax in this species is so interrupted 
by the excavation as to leave a large anterior callus, while the posterior portion is very 
short and adheres to the basal margin.

Buprestis (ransversa Say, Ann. Lyc. of New York, 1, 219. 
New York to Georgia; not rare in pine forests. Beneath very shining black bronzed: 
pectoral channel shallow, not extending upon the first ventral segment; body coarsely 
and densely punctured at the sides, sparsely at the middle; prosternum with the groove 
more punctured than the elevations: mesosternum sparsely punctured.

18. D. manca, cinerco-acnea, thorace latitudiue sesqui breviore, latcribus parum dilatatis, antice rotundatis, 
postice sinuatis, ruae punctato, postice utrinque late excavato, callo laterali alteris utrinque ad apicem ct basin 
laevibus, sulco dorsali callo medio interrupto, costisque parce punctatis definite, elytris punctatis striis punctatis 
versus suturam distinctis, interstitiis alternis spatiis elevatis et rugis transversis laevibus variegatis, ad apicem 
proloDgatis truncatis. Long. -72. 
Femina abdominis segmento ultimo apice rotundato. Mas latet. 
One male found at New York by Mr. II. Ulke. Very similar in appearance to D. 
tenebrosa and h i 1 a r i s, but apart from the sexual characters, the prosternum is 
altogether flat, not hairy, and the first segment of the abdomen is not sulcate. The meso¬ 
sternum is coarsely punctured as in those species, but not so densely as in the next. The 
elytra are also rough with shining transverse elevated wrinkles, not seen in the two 
species mentioned. 
19. D. tuberculata, mnea, thorace latitudiue duplo breviore, lateribus valde dilatatis, antice valde rotun¬ 
datis, postice sinuatis, rude punctato inmquali, carina brevi ad angulum posticura, cullis ad apicem et basin costis¬ 
que duabus subluevibus, sulco dorsali lato et profundo, callo parvo medio notato, elytris punctatis, striis internis 
giosse punctatis, interstitiis alternis spatiis elevatis nitidis ornatis rugis elevatis trausversis pluribus connexis, 
postice breviter prolongatis rotundatis. Long. -52 — 64.
