This species was collected by myself in Atlantic County, New Jer¬ 
sey. It is allied to H. venusta Say, but the thorax is not quadrate, 
and the elytral striae not so deeply impressed ; the form of the antennae 
is the same. 
Saperda Fayi n. sp. 
Brown, thorax with a lateral, longitudinal white stripe, and the ely¬ 
tra with two basal, a median dorsal, and two subapical white spots ; 
sides of pleura and abdomen white. 
Hah. Ohio. (Coll. Ent. Soc. Phila.)' 
Female. —Cinnamon-brown; punctured, and having an erect, scat¬ 
tered, black pubescence. Head rather sparsely punctured, with a small 
white spot on each side of the vertex immediately behind the antennae; 
mouth slightly cinereous. Antennae black, the third and following 
joints densely clothed with cinereous scale-like pubescence. Thorax 
with an elevated, longitudinal dorsal line ; on each side of the dorsum 
a rather broad longitudinal white stripe, and on each side, immediately 
above the anterior legs, an acute-triangular white spot pointing ante¬ 
riorly. Legs black, densely clothed with cinereous scale-like pubes¬ 
cence ; coxae brown. Elytra more densely and deeply punctured than 
the rest of the body, and having a slight gloss; at the base of each 
elytron, a slightly divergent, short, white vitta, sometimes interrupted 
posteriorly and apparently continuous with the white vitta on each side 
of the thorax; on the middle of the disk of the elytra a large, elongate, 
confluent white spot, divided in the centre by the suture; at the pos¬ 
terior fourth of each elytron an ovate white spot close to the suture, 
but not confluent with it; tip slightly margined with cinereous. Sides 
of the pleura and abdomen broadly white, beneath cinereous-brown. 
Length 6| lines. 
Male. —Difiers from the female as follows :—Smaller and more slen¬ 
der ; general color dark rufous-brown ; the antennae are nearly as long 
as the body; the thorax and head are rufous; the white markings of 
the thorax and elytra, although similarly situated, are much less devel¬ 
oped and sometimes obsolete. Length 5 lines. 
The 9 of this species diflers from the 9 of N. cretata Newman, (a 
specimen of which is also in the Cabinet of the Society,) by the smaller 
size ,—cretata being rather more than 8 lines long,—and the more slen-
