6. C. modesta, Smith. 
Ccdioxys modesta, Smith, Brit. Mus. Cat. ii, p. 271, 9* (1854.) 
“ Female. Length 4^ lines.—Black, head and thorax covered with 
large distinct punctures, the face covered with white pubescence. Tho¬ 
rax, a line on the collar, a spot behind the tegulae, and a line at the 
base of the scutellum of white pubescence; the sides of the metatho¬ 
rax have some long white hairs, and the legs above are covered with 
very short white pubescence, the legs rufo-testaceous, as well as the 
tegul93 and nervures of the wings, the latter fusco-hyaline, darkest to¬ 
wards their apical margins; the scutellum rounded behind and armed 
on each side with a short bent tooth. Abdomen shining, the punc¬ 
tures scattered, all the segments have fasciae of white pubescence, fre¬ 
quently interrupted) the apical segment has the lower plate broad, 
rounded at the apex, and having a minute point in the middle, the 
margins of the plate fringed with fuscous pubescence. 
“ ^a6.—United States.” 
I have before me a single 9 specimen from Pennsylvania (Coll. Ent. 
Soc. Phila.), which agrees with the above description, except that the 
tegulae and legs are rufo-piceous instead of “ rufo-testaceous.” The 
superior plate of the apical segment of the abdomen is a little shorter 
than the inferior, the posterior half of the plate is depressed, gradually 
narrowed to the tip which is acute and bent upwards) the lower plate 
agrees with the description given by Mr. Smith. I have very little 
doubt of their identity.

neath, and on the sides; wings subhyaline, the nervures ferruginous, 
the tarsi ferruginous) the scutellum rounded at its posterior margin 
and armed on each side with a short bent tooth. Abdomen shining, 
closely and rather strongly punctured) all the segments have a snow- 
white band on their apical margins, which is narrow in the middle and 
gradually widened towards the lateral margins and continued uninter¬ 
ruptedly on the ventral segments) the apex armed with six teeth,
