cifie characters of which cannot be made clear until the sexual variations are 
known. 
51. L. murina, nigra, distinctius punctata, parcius cinereo-pubescens, tho- 
race convexiusculo, campanulato, subcanaliculato, latitudine non longiore, palpis 
antennisque nigris, his articulo 2ndo longiore. Long. -4—-45. 
Lake Superior; two males. Lasily distinguished by its more sparse pubes- 
cence; the thorax is shorter, more convex, and more narrowed anteriorly, and 
the upper surface is more distinctly punctured; the antenne are half the length 
of the body, the first joint reaching the occiput, the second joint equal to the 
two following. With this species I doubtfully associate a female from Mis- 
souri Territory, agreeing in form and punctuatior, in which the antenne are a 
little stouter than in C. Fabricii, with the second joint about one-third 
longer than the chird. 
52. C. debilis, valde elongata, atra, punctulata, cinereo-pubescens, thorace 
subcampanulato, latitudine longiore, canaliculato, basi prafunde foveato, palpis 
antennisque nigris, his (feminz) tenuibus, articulo 2ndo 3io0 longiore. Long. °35. 
Two females; New York. This species resembles closely C. Fabricii, but 
the thorax is less rounded in front, aud the dorsal channel is deeply transversely 
excavated at the base; the antenne are half the length of the body and formed 
exactly as in C. Fabricii. The pubescence is less dense than in C. Fabrieii, 
but more dense than in the last species. 
The following species are unknown to me: 
53. Cantharis lineata Olivier, Ins. 46, 14, tab. 2, fig.21 , (apparently 
resembles C. Germari). 
di. Lytta Afaeliana Fabr. Syst. El. 2, 78. (1801). 
Cantharis sinuata Oliv. Ins. 46, 9, tab. 2, fig. 14. (1795). 
55. Lytta sphzricollis Say, Journ. Ac. Nat. Sc. 3,299; Am. Ent. 
1, 3. A fragment in Dr. Melsheimer’s Collection, belongs to L. filiformis Lec., 
but the disc of the thorax is destroyed, and in other respects it does not agree 
with Say’s description. 
56. Lytta albida Say, ibid. 3, 305; Am. Ent. 1,3. 
57. Lytta reticulata Say, ibid. 3, 305. 
58. Lytta'sanguinicollis, atra, pubescens, capite thoraceque lete 
rufis, elytris nigris sutura margine vittaque angusta cinereis. Long. +27. 
Georgia ; rare. The description is made from a drawing. It is the Epicauta 
sanguinicollis of Dejean’s Catalogue. 
59. Cantharis unicolor Kirby, Fauna Bor. Am. 241%. Allied to L. 
Fabricil. 
60. Meloe trichr us Pallas, Icon. Ins. Ross. 190. tab. E. fig. 32. 
Trerraonyx Latr. 
1. T. quadrimaculata, lete flava, confertim punctata subtiliter dense 
pubescens, capite nigro, elytris confertissime punctulatis, triente postico macu- 
laque utrinque magna basali quadrata nigris, antennis pedibusque migris, femo- 
ribus flavis apice nigris. Long. -4. 
Latreille, in Cuv. Régne Animal. 
Apalus quadrimaculatus Fabr. Ent. Syst. 2, 50; Syst. El. 2, 25. 
Southern States; rare. The male is distinguished by having the anterior tarsi 
dilated, and the first joint prolonged internally. 
2. T. fulva, fulva, nitidiuseula, longius pubescens, minus confertim punc- 
tata, corpore antennisque nigris, pedibus fulvis, geaubas tibiarum apice tarsis- 
que mgris. Long. -3—.4. 
New Mexico; collected by Fendler. This species is similar to T. frontalis 
Chevr. (Col. Mexique,) but is much smaller; the head is entirely fulvous, and 
the feet are not black; the pubescence is less dense, and the punctures of the
