VOLUME X. A Synonymical Catalogue of the described TORTRICID © of North America north of Mexico. BY C.°H. FERNALD, A. M. The publication of this Catalogue has been delayed in order that as many of the types of our species as are in existence could be examined, and that as large an amount of material as possible could be studied for the purpose of determining what were good and tenable species and what should be regarded as only varieties. While of some species several hundred examples of each have been examined, there are others of which the material has been so ‘meagre that I am not satisfied and have little doubt that some of the names given here as species will prove to be synonyms. I take this opportunity to extend my most sincere thanks to each and all who have rendered me assistance in any way, and especially to all those in the different parts of the country who have so generously placed their entire collections of Tortricids in my hands for study, but more particularly to those who have so cheerfully granted me unlimited opportunities to study the types, for without this there was little hope of anything short of utter confusion in our nomenclature of these insects. I have not attempted a generic revision at this time as I prefer to take that up in connection with the arrangement of the material which is now before me from various parts of the world. I have been quite in doubt what course to pursue with regard to the ending of the specific names. There are many who give the ending—ana, regardless of the TRANS. AMER. ENT. SOC. X. (1) May, 1882. 2 Cc. H. FERNALD. vender of the generic name, while others make the endings conform to the gender of the genus, and although many systematists with whom I have corresponded on this point strongly advise the recognition of the vender in the termination of the specific name, I have decided to follow the course adopted in nearly every list or catalogue of these insects which I have seen from Linneus down, and make use of the simple termina- tion—uana, leaving it for those who prefer the other course to change the terminations given herein as follows:—The terminations of the specific names under Lophoderus and Mellisopus, to the masculine ending—anus, and those under Teras, Ptycholoma and Proteoteras, to the neuter ending—anum. There are quite a number of species common to Europe and America, and of these I have given the synonomy in part from the valuable catalogue of the European fauna by Standinger and Wocke, but the ereater part were verified by reference to the original works. The food plants of these species were-taken from Die Pflanzenfeinde aus der Klasse der Insecten by Kaltenbach, Die Kleinschmetterlinge by August Hart- mann, Die Lepidopteren der Schweiz by Prof. Frey, and the various systematic works to which I have had reference. I have been much perplexed about the dates of some of the works referred to, more particularly Hiibner’s Sammlung Europaescher Schmet- terlinge. In Illiger’s edition of the Systematische Verzeichniss von den Schmetterlingen der Wiener Gegend, on the next page after the Vorrede of the first volume a short notice is given in which the statement is made that the second volume is already in press. Although both of these volumes are dated 1801 on their title pages, the Vorrede is followed by the date Jan. 1798, and the notice above mentioned is dated 1800. The second volume containing the Tortrices, has references to Hiibner’s Sammlung, Tortrix, as far as plate 30, fig. 194. If the volume was in press in 1800, the first 30 plates or 193 figures must have been issued before that time, and we should give the date to these not later than 1800, (see also Ent. Mon. Mag. London, vol. vi, p. 140). I am quite at a loss what precise date, if any, to give the remaining figures of Hiibner’s Tortrix. ‘ AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 3 ABBREVIATIONS. An. & Mage. N.

In the collection of Dr. Clemens are three examples from Labrador, (see Proce. Ent. Soc. Ph. ii, p. 418), which he regarded conspecific with bipartitana. In my opinion, they are distinct, but are identical with similisana Walk. Until we have more positive evidence of their identity, I prefer to regard them as distinct. 30 C. H.

Habitat.—“ North America.” I have not yet been able to refer this species to any known to me. The following species do not belong to the Tortricidee : 415. malana. Brachytsenia malana Fitch, N. Y. Ag. Rept. 1855, p. 473. This species has been referred to the Noctuidze, (see Grote’s Check List of the Noctuidee, p. 15, No. 570). 416, triquetrana. Brachyteenia Triquetrana Fitch, N. Y. Ag. Rept. 1855, p. 476. Prof. Riley, who has seen the type of this species, informed me that it is congeneric with 5. malana Fitch. 417. oculatana. Disodia oculatana Clem. Proc. Ph. Ac. Se. 1860, p. 350. This species belongs to the Thyridee, and was redescribed by Grote and Robinson as Platythyris fasciata, in the Annals Lyceum Nat. Hist. N. Y. vol. viii, (see Tr. Am. Ent.

Eucosma tuberculana Geyer, Zutr. fi Habitat.—Georgia. This species belongs to the Pyralidee. 425. lasciva. Tortrix lasciva Morris, Cat. Lep. N. A. p. 50. This is an error, as no such species was published either by Hiibner or Geyer. 426. packardiana. Anchylopera Packardiana Clem. Proc. Ent. Soe. Ph. iii, p. 510. This name was probably introduced by Dr. Clemens through some mistake, for no such species was ever published, nor is it represented in his Collection. The name should therefore be dropped from the Lists. 427. lactana. Pyralis lactana Fab. Eft. Syst. vol. ill, part 2, p. 250.

Rare; not found so far as I know except in Dr. LeConte’s collection and the figure is made from his type. 2. M. arida Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 48. (Pl. II, fig. 17). Found occasionally in New York; I believe it will be eventually found to be identical with the following, but it needs a larger series than I have been able to get to prove this. 3. Mi. lutea Mels. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. ii, 315, (Morde//a). Quite as rare as the preceding, and I have seen only a single specimen. 4, M. trifasciata Say, Journ. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. v, 243, (Mordella) ; nigri- collis Hel. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xvi, 105. (Pl. I, fig. 19). This latter is evidently a variety only, as Dr. Helmuth himself suggests. I have found specimens of this species with the thoracic band of yellow very narrow, but none in which it was entirely absent; larger collections from the western states will, I have no doubt, demonstrate the correctness of this reference. 5. M. lepidula Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. xiv, 48. (PI. II, fig. 19). Very closely allied to the preceding in size, form and general appear- ance; but readily recognized by the yellow body. The insect appears rare in the vicinity of New York, and I have but very few specimens. 6. M. limbalis Mels. Pr. Ac. N. Se. Phil. ii, 315, (Morded/a). (Pl. II, fig. 20). Also closely allied to the foregoing species so far as form is concerned, but the markings are entirely different. This like /epidula is rather rare in New York and vicinity, and the specimens are only found singly. +I have not noticed any variations. 7. M. elegantulus Sp. nov. (PI. II, fig. 21). Differs from the other species in this section by the pale color and brown markings. One specimen only, from Long Island; my collection. 8. Ml. dimidiata Hel. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xvi, 105. This species I have not succeeded in identifying with the material at my command. It appears sufficiently distinct, from the description, and seems to form the connecting link between the variegated species of this section and the following more modestly colored ones. AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 91 9. M. biplagiata Hel. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. xvi, 105. (Pl. (1, fig. 22). A variable species both as regards size and markings ; a specimen from northern Illinois, found among Dr. LeConte’s undetermined material, agrees in all respects with Helmuth’s description, and from this the figure was made. A specimen collected in the Catskills while agreeing perfectly in the markings is only 1.7 mm. in length; another collected in the Adirondack’s is nearly 4 mm. in length and the humeral spot is unusually large and diffuse. The coloration in other respects is a little different, but not enough to authorize a sp. noy. Readily distinguished from the other species in this section by the humeral spot of the elytra. 10. M. imtermixta Hel. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xvii, 96. Readily recognized by the contrast in color between the thorax and elytra, the latter of which is sometimes more rufous. Specimens from California and New York, (Adirondack Mts.), agree in every respect with each other and with the description. I have found it rather rare. 11. MI. willis Lec. Pr. Ac. 1856, p. 76, (Mordelia). I have seen but very few specimens; differs from all other species in this section by its uniform black color. , 12. Mi. vapida Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 49. Does not seem to vary much. I have found it occasionally in the vicinity of New York. 13. M. deecorella Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 49. (Pl. II, fig. 24). Distinguished from the others in this section by the variegated elytra. I have seen only a single specimen (Dr. LeConte’s type), so do not know much of it. The combination of tibial and tarsal ridges peculiar to this and the two following species is shown PI. II, fig. 23. 14. M. bipustulata Hel. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xvi, 105. I have what I consider a specimen of this species with the thorax entirely black, collected in New York; readily distinguished from the other species of this group by its dark color. 15. M. atriceps sp. nov. Distinguished from the preceding by the paler color, larger size, heavier form, and the longer and unusually oblique tibial ridges. One specimen only ; my collection. 16. M. picipemmnis sp. nov. The combination of tibial and tarsal ridges peculiar to this and the two following species is shown PI. II, fig. 25. Distinguished from the others in this group by not having the elytra variegated. Three speci- mens, New York; two, my collection; Georgia, one, Coll. Dr. Horn. 92 J. B. SMITH. 17. ME. pallipes sp. nov. (Pl. I, fig. 26). All the legs pale testaceous—an unusual character in the genus— this point and the darker margins of elytra render the species readily recognizable. The rudiment of the third ridge is very short, having but two or three spinules but the pale color of the legs renders it easily noted, as the spinules are black. One specimen, Ithaca, N. Y. ; my collection. 18. Mi. fulwiecollis Mels. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. ii, 315, (Mordedla). (Pl. II, fig. 27). : Easily known from the others in this group by the humeral spot on elytra and the pale thorax. It appears to be rare and I have seen only a single specimen. 19. MI. ormata Mels. Fr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. ii, 315, (Mordella). (Pl. II, fig. 30). The combination of tibial and tarsal ridges peculiar to this and the seven following species is shown PI. II, fig. 29. I have seen but a single specimen of this insect, and consequently have no remarks to: offer concerning it. 20. MI. militaris Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. xiv, £9. (Pl. II, fig. 28). This will probably turn out to be only a variety of the following when more of the specimens from other parts of the country have been procured. I have seen only very few specimens and they agree pretty closely with the description ; a variety however is found with the thorax more or less rufous, never having the color distinctly marked, but still differing noticably from the type form. 21. M. scapularis Say, Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. iii, 277, (Mordella). (Pl. I, fig. 31). More common than the preceding but by no means plentiful at any time. It is entirely black except the orange humeral spot which leads to its recognition at once. 22. Mi. comata Lec. Pr. Ac. 1858, p. 75, (Mordella) ; picicornis Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 49; cervicalis Lec. id.; auricoma Hel. id. xvii, 96. From the material I have on hand I consider these four forms identical ; picicornis and cervicalis certainly are, for I have series lead- ing from one form into the other; comata differs in the entirely red head and the paler pubescence; but the color of the pubescence in this genus is not a safe guide, nor is the extent of the red color on the head; auricoma does not differ in any marked respect from either of the forms. AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 93 23. -M. aspersa Mels. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. ii, 314, (Mordedla) ; rubrilabris Hel. id. xvi, 105. The most common of our species and the one therefore upon which observations can best be made; its variations are considerable and it is rather surprising that not more species have been made out of it. The legs vary from pale testaceous to dull black, the pubescence from dull brownish-black to bright cinereous, and the head from deep black to dull red; the latter is rubrilabris of Hel. The eastern species are usually dull black, the pubescence becoming brighter as they come from further west, until California sends the palest specimens. In like manner the color of the head changes gradually from black in the east to dull red in the Pacific States. From New York I have seen no specimens with the head entirely red, although many have it partially so, but a fair pro- portion of California specimens have the head entirely rufous. 24. MI. indistineta sp. nov. (Pl. I, fig. 32). Kasily known by the pale color and the indistinct basal spot on elytra ; it seems to connect the black species with the following. Seventeen specimens, Adirondack Mts., N. Y.; my collection. 25. MI. tosta Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. xiv, 49. Not uncommon in N. Y., and presenting no noteworthy variations. 26. M. imormata sp. nov. Like the preceding in color, but distinct by the combination of tibial and tarsal- ridges, Pl. II, fig. 33. One specimen, Texas; Coll. Dr. LeConte. 27. ME. amiea Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 49. (PI. II, fig. 19). Combination of tibial and tarsal ridges peculiar to this and the two following species, Pl. II, fig. 34. Superficial examination would lead one to pronounce this and the following identical with the species at the head of the genus, but the ridges separate them sharply. 28. MI. mimuta sp. nov. (Pl. I, fig. 35). One of the smallest, if not the smallest of our species; very distinctly separated from the foregoing by the coloration of head and thorax. One specimen, Georgia; Coll. Dr. Horn. 29. M. picilabris Hel. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xvi, 105. Unknown to me in nature but apparently very distinct from the others in this group. 30. M. imfiima Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 49. (Pl. 11, fig. 37). For combination of tibial and tarsal ridges peculiar to this and the twelve following species, see Pl. II, fig. 86. Distinct from all the others in this group by the cinereous bands on elytra. (24) 94, J. B. SMITH. 31. M. amdreve Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 50. (Pl. II, fig. 38). This and the four following species form a very compact group, differing only in minor points of coloration. I am certain that there are two species more than there is any necessity for, described; but I have not unfortu-” nately, a series large enough to prove it. None of the species are common, and I have not seen any large numbers of them in any collection. 32. M. grammiicea Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 50. (Pl. II, fig. 39). Differs from the foregoing in color of body, and probably sufficiently distinct from it. 33. Mi. anecilla Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 50. (Pl. III, fig. 1). This species I believe will ultimately prove a variety of andrex. The only difference between the two is that ancilla is ferruginous, where the other species is yellow. 34. M. warians Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. xiv, 50. (Pl. III, fig. 2). This I believe is a good species ; it seems to present no variation, and is not uncommon in the Orange Mts. 35. M. ustulata Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 50. (Pl. III, fig. 3). This will I believe prove only a variety of grammica, the difference as shown in the figures is exceedingly slim, and that shown in the synopsis is not much greater. 36. Mi. semiusta Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 50. (Pl. III, fig. 4). This seems distinct from all those in the preceding group. I have seen but few specimens and have noted no variation. 37. M. impatiens Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 50, Rather rare in my experience, and in the few specimens I have examined no great variations have been discovered. 38. M. ferruginoides sp. nov. Distinct from any of the others of this group by the contrasted elytra and body. One specimen only, Georgia; Coll. Dr. Horn. 39. M. nigriecams Mels. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. ii, 313, (Mordedla) ; nigerrima Hel. id. xvil, 96. The species varies somewhat in size and in the depth of the black color, but not otherwise; exactly how Dr. Helmuth pretended to sepa- rate his species from nigricans I am at a loss to imagine, his description applies in all respects to this species. 40. M. guttulata Hel. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. xvi, 105, (from the description only). (Pl. III, fig. 7). . I have not seen this insect in nature; it seéms to take the place in this group that pustudata does in another, and may be a specimen of that species incorrectly referred. s AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 95 41. M. ruficeps Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 50. An indistinctly marked species which varies somewhat in size and somewhat in color, being sometimes more rufous. It is not common, but I find some specimens each season around New York. 42. MI. nubila Lec. Pr. Ac. 1858, p. 76. Of this I have seen only a single specimen ; it is close to ferruginoides, but is darker than that species, and has in addition the rudimentary ridges on tibia and tarsi of which there exists not a trace in ferruginoides. 43. MW. eee sp. nov. Pl. ITT, fig. 5, shows the combination of tarsal ridges peciiling to this species. It is unique in this respect, and unique in the beautiful silvery pubescence with which it is clothed ; it is very slender, and has the legs ‘unusually long and thin. On the specimen from Florida I observe a rudiment of a third short ridge. ‘Two specimens only, Illinois and Florida; Coll. of Dr. LeConte and myself. 44. MI. Floridensis sp. nov. Closely related to the preceding, but distinct from it by the number of ridges on the second tarsal joint, the deeper color, the dark pubes- cence, stouter build and much shorter and stouter anal style; the ridges also are strongly marked and very distinct. 45. M. pustulata Mels. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. ii, 314, (Mordella). (PI. III, fig. 7). Combination of tibial and tarsal ridges peculiar to this and the five following species, Pl. III, fig. 6. Distinguishable at sight from its allies by the silvery pubescent spots with which it is adorned. Dr. LeConte remarks that on one specimen he observed a rudiment of a fourth ridge. I have been unable to find anything of the kind on the species which I have examined, so that his specimen is probably aber- rant in this respect. 46. M. convicta Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 50. (Pl. III, fig. 8). I have seen Dr. LeConte’s type and drawn my figure from it. The species seems closely related to the preceding but is rather heavier, and differs in the markings. 47. M. fuseipennis Mels. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phil. ii, 314, (Mordella). (Pl. III, fig. 9). Found occasionally around N. Y., and presenting no notable variations. 48. M. peetoralis Lec. Agassiz L. Sup. p. 231, (Mordella). (Pl. ITI, fig. 10). . I have seen one specimen only, and that the type. It is almost identical in all respects with ornata except that it has three instead of two tibial ridges. 96 J. B. SMITH. 49. MI. morula Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 50. Unicolored, and therefore readily recognized, after the tibia has been examined; one specimen I found which could be placed with almost equal propriety in this species or in aspersa, for the third ridge was* rather more than a rudiment, and yet did not reach the distinctness of the others. Quzre: whether morula and aspersa do not intergrade. 50. MI. ambusta Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 50. Also unicolored and as readily recognized as the preceding; I have found it sparingly near New York, but have noted no peculiarities. 51. Ml. Singularis sp. noy. (PI. III, fig. 11). The figure shows the combination of tibial and tarsal ridges peculiar to this species only. Well marked by the uniform ferruginous color and the deep black elytra. One specimen only, Georgia; Coll. Dr. Horn. 52, MI. unicolor Lec. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 50. (Pl. III, fig. 12). The figure shows the tibial and tarsal ridges peculiar to this and the two following species. Distinct from all others in this group by its uniform color, which latter varies somewhat in depth, sometimes having a strong dash of red. It is not uncommon, but [I have not succeeded in getting a good series, showing varieties. 53. MW. margimalis Say, Journ. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. iii, 278, (Mordel/a) ; divisa Lec. Col. of Kan. & N. Mex. 17. This species shows ,little variation ; superficially it is readily confused with several others but the tibial and tarsal ridges sufficiently distinguish it; divisa Lee. | consider only a western variation, like that of aspersa. I have found both forms in the Orange Mts. of New Jersey. 54. M. Schauppii sp. nov. (PI. III, fig. 13). Dedicated to my good friend Prof. F. G. Schaupp, from whom'T re- ceived the first aid in my gropings for light in the beetle business, to whose kindness I owe many of my best insects, to whose good nature I owe a better knowledge of the literature of the coleopterological section of entomology than I could have obtained by years of unasisted study, and to whose liberality I owe a large part of my western and southern species of Mordellidee, his whole collection having been placed at my disposal. I hope this may always be considered a valid species, and that it may continue as rare as the combination of good qualities which render the Professor a good companion, a sympathizing friend and a sage director in the paths of coleopterological lore. One specimen, N. Y.; my coll. 55. MI. eequalis sp. nov. (PI. III, fig. 14). “Peculiar by the combination of ridges on tibia and tarsi; resembles several other species in the uniforth black color. AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. Dil 56.-MI. sealamris Hel. Pr. Ac. Nat. Sc. Phila. xvi, 105. (Pl. III, fig. 16). The figure (Pl. III, fig. 15), shows the ridges of tibia and tarsi _ peculiar to this and the three following species; the present species is “unknown to me; but seems to be sufficiently distinct from the other species of this group by the lack of pubescent bands on the elytra. The figure was made up from the description, and its accuracy is there- fore not vouched for. 57. M. pubescens Fabr. Syst. El. ii, 123; hebraica Lee. Pr. Ac. Nat. Se. Phila. xiv, 51; leporina Lee. id. (PI. III, fig. 17). A somewhat variable species and I believe I have series sufficient to demonstrate the identity of the above referred species. I have seen in the specimens examined variations all the way from the dark typical pubescens form to the bright leporina form, while the hebraica form according to Dr. LeConte’s description varies in the color of the thorax to a uniform black. There is a difference in the arrangement of the pubes- cent bands, but I have seen all the forms in the specimens which were undoubtedly pubescens. It is rather common in the vicinity of N. Y. 58. M. bihamata Mels. Pr. Ac. N. Sc. Ph. ii, 313, (Morded/a). (PI. III, fig. 18). Distinct from the preceding by the more slender form, the somewhat differently shaped bands and the reddish margin of thorax. I have seen but one specimen, and cannot therefore judge well of the exact relationship it bears to pubescens. 59. Mi. liturata Mels. Pr. Ac. N. Se. Ph. ii, 314, (Mordel/a). (Pl. ITI, fig. 19). Distinct from the others in this section by the pale color. It is rare, and I myself have never found the inseci. I have seen but a few specimens of the species, and did not find any great variation amongst them. 60. M. fuseata Mels. Pr. Ac. N. Se. Ph. ii, 313, (Mordella). (P1. III, fig. 20).

AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 101 Revision of the species of some genera of BUPRESTID £. BY GEORGE H. HORN, M. D. The genera here reviewed belong to the group Anthaxiz of the tribe Buprestini as defined in our fauna, they are three in number and may be separated in the following manner : Mentum coriaceous in front; prothorax sinuate at base............ Melanophila. Mentum entirely corneous. Prothorax truncate at base; front not margined at sides; antenne serrate in DORMS Ex Css ee erie saa ccs sisstcec ccs eas ccee cciss siueecscedoasescleneuaseaetcstweces Anthaxia. Prothorax sinuate at base; front slightly margined over the insertion of the antenne which are flabellate %, serrate Q........eceseceeeeeeeeeees Xenorhipis. The first two genera are represented on both sides of the continent. Aenorhipis occurs in the Atlantic region and is extremely rare. Of its habits nothing is known. MELANOPHILA Esch. The species of this genus are not numerous in our fauna, but in times past their number was exaggerated by too great a regard for the variations of the elytral markings. In our series we have three types indicated by external form and general aspect—first, the Chrysobothris type represented by Drummondi which seems to occur in the entire subarctic region of the northern hemisphere; second, the Anthaxia type represented by the first five species of the annexed table one of which from its wide distribution in our fauna is probably distributed in the same manner as Drum- mondi, as it is possible that appendiculata, is not a distinct species ; finally, a group of five species which does not resemble any other genus in our fauna. The elytral markings of all the species seem to me to be deriva- tives of a type of which miranda is the most perfect exemplification. By a study of the sketches in the annexed plate one can realize how the very perfect markings of miranda become reduced to the macu- late form by a gradual extension of the black, or contraction of the yellow markings. In two species, longipes and atropurpurea, I have never observed any specimens with elytral spots. ‘The same is also true of gentilis, zneola, intrusa and obtusa. Two species, fulvoguttata and Drum- mondi, vary from three or four spots on each elytron to none at all. In all the specimens of miranda that I have seen there is practically no variation.

M. miranda Lec.—Head coarsely punctured, with five smooth callosities arranged in a regular pentagon. Thorax with sides regularly arcuate, lateral margin acute posteriorly, dise coarsely punctured with seven smooth spaces, three on each side oval, one in the median line posteriorly ; beneath coarsely punctured, a smooth space along the lateral margin, prosternum at middle very sparsely punctate, the tip rather suddenly narrowed. Elytra not very densely punctured, the punctures comparatively fine, the surface with very regular markings as shown in the figure, the margin posteriorly finely serrulate, the tip acuminate. Body beneath coarsely punctured. First joint of posterior tarsi as long as the next three. Length .54—.64 inch; 13.5—16 mm. (PI. IV, fig. 1). In both sexes the last ventral segment is truncate, the angles acute and prominent. The elytral markings of this species are the most complete and perfect of any in the genus, it is the full development of which the markings of the other species are the derivatives in a more or less imperfect manner. In notata and consputa there is a very plain attempt at a reproduction AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 103 of similar markings, while in fulvoguttata and Drummondi the lines are replaced by spots. This species occurs from Oregon to Texas in the mountain regions. M. notata Lap. et Gory.—Head sparsely punctured, shining. Thorax with sides regularly arcuate, sometimes slightly oblique posteriorly, broadest a little in front of middle, surface subopaque, sparsely punctured at middle, at sides finely reticulate, median line finely impressed and slightly foveate posteriorly, lateral margin distinct posteriorly ; thorax beneath coarsely punctured at the sides, more finely at middle, prosternum suddenly constricted at tip. Elytra depressed, granulate punctate, lateral margin finely serrulate posteriorly, the tip acute, color black with yellow markings as shown in the figure, sometimes entirely wanting. Body beneath coarsely punctate, more or less reticulate at the sides. Posterior tarsus asin miranda. Length .36—.48 inch; 9—12mm. (PI. IV, figs. 3, 6). The last ventral segment is truncate, the angles acute but not prominent. This species by its smoother front is easily known from either of the next two species, and from consputa by the more acute elytra and the form of the posterior tarsus. Occurs in Georgia and Florida. M. consputa Lec.—Head rather shining, coarsely and moderately densely punctate. Thorax with sides regularly arcuate, widest at middle, surface sub- opaque moderately densely reticulately punctate, lateral margin obsolete in front, acute posteriorly, sides of thorax beneath densely reticulately punctured, pro- sternum in front densely and finely punctured, at its sides very sparsely, tip sud- denly narrowed. Elytra granulate punctate, depressed, color black with variable markings, lateral margin obsoletely serrulate posteriorly, tips very obtuse. Body beneath coarsely but not densely punctured. Posterior tarsi with the first joint equal to the next two. Length .36—-.48 inch; 9—12 mm. (PI. IV, figs. 2, 4). The last ventral segment is as in notata. The elytral markings are variable, their range will be shown in the accompanying figures. In its general appearance this species resembles notuta, the differences have already been mentioned. It seems to occupy an exactly intermediate place between the preceding and following species, resembling the former in general appearance and color and the latter in the elytral and tarsal structure. Occurs in California and Arizona. M. longipes Say.—Black, feebly shining, rarely with faint metallic lustre. Head densely punctured. Thorax widest in front of middle, the sides in front arcuate, posteriorly nearly straight and slightly convergent, marginal line distinet posteriorly but inferior, dise with a vague oblique impression each side posteriorly, the surface coarsely punctured along the margin, finely reticulate within this, obsoletely punctured at middle, the median line distinct, hind angles rectangular. Elytra moderately finely granulate punctate, the surface irregular, lateral margin finely serrulate posteriorly, the apices acute but not acuminate. Thorax beneath reticulate at the sides, prosternum coarsely reticulate between the coxz, anteriorly sparsely punctate, the tip suddenly constricted. Body beneath reticulate. Abdomen 104 GEO. H. HORN, M. D. sparsely punctate, reticulate at the sides. Legs slender, moderately long. Posterior tarsi as in miranda. Length .28—.52 inch; 7—13 mm. Last ventral segment broadly emarginate, the angles acute but not prominent. This species could only be mistaken for the next, in which however the sides of the thorax are different and the elytra more acuminate at tip. Occurs from Maine to Alaska. As this species has such-a wide distribution in our country and in the northern regions, may it not be really identical with appendiculata which seems as widely distributed in the Hastern Hemisphere ? M. atropurpurea Say. Resembles the preceding very closely and differs in the following characters : Thorax with sides regularly arcuate, widest at middle. Elytra acute and usually slightly acuminate at tip. Length .830—.52 inch; 7.5—13 mm This species follows the line of distribution already indicated for miranda. M. Drummondi Kby.—Oolor variable from greenish to dark bronze, more shining beneath, form subdepressed. Head coarsely, densely and deeply punc- tured, rarely with a smooth spot on each side, sometimes the occiput is slightly strigose. Thorax narrower at apex, widest near the middle, sides feebly arcuate, dise distinctly impressed each side, the surface coarsely and densely punctured at the sides, transversely strigose at middle, lateral margin obliterated in front. smooth beneath posteriorly; thorax beneath coarsely and densely punctured, tip of prosternum suddenly narrowed. Elytra densely granulate punctate, and with three fine, rather vague costee, lateral margin scarcely serrulate, apices obtuse, surface with three spots on each elytron arranged as in fulvoguttata sometimes entirely wanting. Body beneath and abdomen sparsely punctate. Posterior tarsi as in gentilis. Length .82—.42 inch; 8 -11 mm. The last ventral segment is subtruncate in the male, obtusely rounded in the female. In our fauna this species has a wide distribution, from Maine to Alaska, varying to a greater or less extent in its course without present- ing any characters by means of which local varieties might be indicated. I have observed that very many of our species in other families which have a subarctic transcontinental distribution occur in Siberia extending even to Kurope making the complete circle. In some cases the Asiatic form bears another name, and I em inclined to believe that guttulata Gebl., is not specifically distinct from the present species but merely a slight variety. M. fulvoguttata Harris.—Oblong, moderately convex, dark bronze above, more brightly metallic beneath, elytra usually with three spots on each. Head densely punctured, somewhat strigose on the occiput, clypeus truncate. Thorax AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 105 gradually narrowed in front, sides nearly straight, dise densely punctured, some- what reticulate at the sides, a slight ante-scutellar fovea, hind angles obtuse, lateral margin obsolete in front, thorax beneath densely and coarsely punctured, prosternum at tip suddenly narrowed. Elytra moderately convex, margin finely serrulate posteriorly, the apices separately rounded, dise without trace of cost granulately punctured at base. more finely and densely posteriorly and with a tend- ency of the punctures to form transverse strigee. Body beneath sparsely punctured. Posterior tarsi as in gentilis. Length .30—.40 inch; 7.5—10 mm. (PI. IV, fig. 5). The last ventral segment is oval at tip in both sexes, a little more obtuse in the female. In this species there are no traces whatever of fine costa on the elytra. Its form is a little more convex than in gentilis. The elytral spots are usually six, two in front of middle on each side of the suture, two posterior to these and more external and two smaller about one-fifth from the apex and closer to the suture than the first pair. These are, however, variable and may be entirely absent. Occurs in the Middle and Northern States, extending westward to California and Nevada. M. gentilis Lec.—Color variable between green and blue or darker, metallic. Head densely punctured. Thorax with feebly arcuate sides, gradually narrowed to front, the lateral margin entire or very nearly so, dise densely and rather coarsely punctured, a slight ante-scutellar fovea, under side densely cribrately punctured, prosternum at tip suddenly constricted. Elytra moderately convex, densely granulate punctate, lateral margin at apex finely serrulate, the tip obtuse. Body beneath moderately densely punctate. Posterior tarsi with first joint not longer than the next two. Length .38—.46 inch; 9.5—12 mm. The last ventral segment of the male is slightly truncate, of the female rounded. This species is one of those which has never any elytral spots or other drnamentation. Occurs in Colorado, Arizona, and the entire Pacific region. M. imtrusa n. sp.—Oblong, moderately convex, dark bronze, beneath more shining, surface sparsely pubescent. Head convex, front densely punctured and longitudinally strigose, clypeus narrowly semicircularly emarginate. Thorax nar- rowed in front, sides feebly arcuate, margin obliterated in front, hind angles distinct, subacute, flattened above and smooth, dise coarsely, densely and deeply punctured, beneath coarsely and densely punctured, the prosternum distinetly reticulate, suddenly narrowed at tip. Elytra rather coarsely and densely granulate punctate, the apical margin finely serrulate, the tips separately rounded. Body beneath sparsely punctate, surface with a greenish or bluish metallic lustre. Posterior tarsi as in gentilis. Length .26—.30 inch; 6.5—7.5 mm. The last ventral segment is slightly truncate in the male the margin reflexed, in the female the segment is a little longer and more oval at tip. This species represents in the western regions xneola of the east. It is similar in form, sculpture and color, but the two differ in the form TRANS. AMER. ENT. SOC. X. (27) august, 1882. L06 GEO. Il. HORN, M.D. of the clypeus and the tip of the prosternum. Both species are finely pubescent. Occurs in California and Nevada. M. zeneola Mels.—Oblong, moderately elongate, not depressed, seneous, be- neath more shining, surface sparsely pubescent. Front broad, clypeus broadly emarginate, surface densely punctured, occiput somewhat strigose. Thorax nar- rowed in front, sides feebly arcuate, margin obliterated in front, hind angles obtuse slightly flattened above, dise densely punctured becoming slightly reticulate at the sides, beneath very densely, not very coarsely punctured, prosternum broadly triangular at tip. Elytra moderately convex, densely granulate punctate, margin at apex finely serrulate, tips separately rounded. Body beneath sparsely and rather feebly punctate. Posterior tarsi as in gentilis. Length .18—.26 inch; 4.5—6.5 mm. The last ventral segment is slightly truncate in the male, oval in the female. As already intimated this species and intrusa are closely related and have but little resemblance to the other species of this genus. Oceurs in the Middle and Southern States. M. obtusa n. sp.—Subcylindrical, moderately robust, metallic greenish-blue, elytra darker. Front broad, coarsely but not deeply punctured, clypeus feebly emarginate at middle. Thorax convex, narrowed in front, sides moderately arcuate, margin obliterated in front, surface coarsely, deeply and rather densely punctured, slightly reticulate at the sides, beneath coarsely, deeply and densely punctured, prosternum broadly triangular at tip. Elytra very coarsely punctured at base becoming granulate posteriorly, the posterior margin finely serrulate, the tips separately rounded. Body beneath coarsely but not densely punctured. Posterior tarsi as in gentilis. Length .22 inch: 5.5 mm. The last ventral segment is slightly truncate and the margin reflexed. I have seen but one specimen of this species which resembles in its form one of the smaller species of Acmeeodera. It is more obtuse at either end and more cylindrical than any species in our fauna. One specimen, Georgia. ANTHAXIEA Esch. In the study of our species I have been unable to find any sexual characters like those which have been observed in the species of Europe. On the other hand, with an incomplete series however, [ have not been able to find any of the latter with the tarsal claws toothed as in our cyanella and quercata. It will be observed that these two species differ from each other in the same manner that viridifrons and viridicornis do, and the question has arisen in my mind whether they’are not respectively sexes of each other, the male in each case having the rougher surface sculpture. With an original tendency to a contrary course I have been compelled, AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 107 from. the mass of material before me, to. follow Mr. Crotch in the sup- pression of a number of species under the name xneoguster L. et G., he having chosen for the aggregate a name posterior to that by three years. In the following list will be found one species hitherto unknown to our fauna, salic’s Fab., which has probably been introduced. There can be no doubt of the capture of these specimens in Kansas. Had they been taken near the Atlantic coast in or near any of our commercial cities, their occurrence would have been mentioned, but the name not introduced in our lists. The following synoptic table and the short descriptions will, it is hoped, enable our students to identify their species. Body depressed, oblong-oval.

A. salieis Fab.—Form rather broad, depressed, color bright blue, elytra bright coppery, blue at base. Head densely punctured. Thorax nearly twice as wide as long, sides irregularly areuate, hind angles distinct, dise moderately convex, broadly concave each side of middle, median line moderately impressed, coarsely punctured at the sides and in front, finely strigose at middle and near the base, color bright blue with a darker somewhat velvety space on each side. Elytra granulate-punctate, color bright coppery with a triangular space extend- ing across the base and nearly one-third along the suture. Prothorax and body beneath densely punctured, abdomen rather densely rugose at base, smoother near the tip. Claws slender, simple. Length .26—.28 inch; 6.5—7 mm. This species differs from all those strictly native to our fauna by the brilliancy of its color. In form it resembles closely that variety of the next species known as expansa. I have seen but two specimens, collected by Dr. H. A. Brous, at 108 GEO. H. HORN, M. D. Smoky Hill, Kansas, in the flowers of a Malvacequs plant. It is quite a common species in Kurope and was probably introduced with some plant in which it lives. A. zneogaster L. et G.—Form rather broad, depressed, piceous or black, Surface with faint eneous lustre, very rarely green. Head densely punctate reticulate, with very short pubescence. Thorax transverse, sides feebly arcuate in front, nearly straight at middle, slightly sinuate posteriorly, the hind angles acutely rectangular, dise. moderately convex, usually with four fovee arranged in an arcuate transverse series, sometimes with two only, often without trace of any, surface normally coarsely reticulate, often however subgranular or even slightly longitudinally strigose on each side of the middle. Elytra gradually narrowed from the apical third, the tips. obtuse, surface rather coarsely granulate punctate and with a faint oblique impression extending from the humeri toward the middle of the suture. Beneath more or less neous and more shining than above, the prothorax varjably reticulate, the body and abdomen coarsely punctate. Claws simple. Length .14—.28 inch; 3.5—7 mm. At the time of the publication of the “ Revision of the Buprestid” by Dr. LeConte, the number of specimens before him did not exceed ten, these formed the basis of the six names which appear in the Revision, five of them represented by uniques. Since that time the amount of material has considerably increased and the selected specimens represent- ing all shades of variation in his cabinet and mine now number about eighty, which represent many hundreds of specimens from which selec- tions were made. ‘The result of this accumulation has been the demon- stration of the identity of those forms which Crotch had already placed as varieties in the Check List. The surface lustre of the vast majority of the specimens is brownish- bronze, specimens however occur in the Yosemite Valley of California as brilliantly green as de/eta or quercata. ‘The latter form, which for convenience may be called prasina, is rather rare, I have seen but eight, these however exhibit the same thoracic variations observed in the darker forms. ‘The specimens with bronze surface vary in the form and sculpture of the thorax. Three forms inornata, foveicollis and im- perfecta, are absolutely identical, these have the four thoracic foveze well marked, in the manner of some Kuropean forms. These fovese become — gradually fainter in reti/era and expansa and are finally lost in strigata. Specimens often occur with the middle foveze well marked and the lateral obsolete or entirely wanting. The surface sculpture of the thorax also varies in a gradual manner. In strigata the sides are distinctly reticulate, the middle much more finely and the lines of the reticulation forming short longitudinal strigze. From this we have every gradation to the eranular form, through forms like ve¢/fera in which the entire surface is reticulate to those simply granulate without reticulation. The existence \ AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 109 of pubescence, or the reverse, on the front is merely a question of the state of preservation of the species. From a slight examination which I have made of European species there appears to be the same tendency to vary as is exhibited in the preceding species. The amount of material at my disposal has been too meagre to indi- cate positively the equivalence of several species but what occurs in one fauna may be found in another. I am not by any means positive that our species will prove different from some previously described from Europe, as it will be observed that wmbel/atarum and some of its allies very suspiciously resemble the aggregate which is united under the name zneogaster L. et G. This species is the most widely diffused in our fauna. It occurs in Maine, going west through Canada and the Northern States to the Hudson’s Bay region, to Colorado and Utah, thence westward to Oregon and following the Pacific slope southward as far as Tejon in California. A. deleta Lec.—Oblong, very little narrower posteriorly, color above and beneath bright green with a tendency to become brownish on the elytra. Front flat, densely punctured. Thorax broad, not narrower at base, sides feebly arcuate, sometimes straight at middle and slightly arcuate at apex and base, hind angles small, rectangular, dise even or with a feeble trace of impression on either side of middle, surface reticulate at the sides, scabrous at middle. Elytra subopaque, finely granulate, apices obtuse. Body beneath bright green, the surface reticu- late, abdomen more shining. Claws slender, slightly dilated at base. Length .16—.20 inch; 4—5 mm. In form this species resembles irornata. It is however much less depressed and with finer surface sculpture. The color of the surface is very uniform, the type in the cabinet of Dr. LeConte being discolored, hence the different description. Bright green forms of inornata ocea- sionally occur, but these are always so rough in their sculpture that there will be no difficulty in separating them from the present species. Occurs from Colorado to Nevada and California. A. viridifroms Gory.—Oblong, feebly convex, dark coppery bronze, more shining beneath, head often green. Front slightly convex, a feeble frontal de- pression, surface reticulate. Thorax broad, sides irregularly arcuate, dise moder- ately convex, usually with two slight transverse depressions on each side which are often absent, surface regularly reticulate. Elytra narrowed at apical third, apices obtuse, surface distinctly rugulose and subopaque. Prothorax and body beneath indistinctly reticulate, abdomen very sparsely punctate. Claws slender, slightly broader at base. Length .16—.20 inch; 4-—5 mm. This species and viridicornis seem to bear the same relation to each other that guercata and cyanella do. It is desirable that all of these should be studied in their habits with the view of ascertaining if the differences are not merely sexual. Occurs in the Middle, Southern and Western States. (28) 110 GEO. H. HORN, M. D. A. viridicornis Gory.—Oblong, moderately depressed, black, beneath bluish, above slightly purple, sides of thorax broadly shining cupreous. Front slightly depressed at middle, surface reticulate and cupreous or brassy. Thorax broad, sides feebly and irregularly arcuate, dise slightly convex, on each side a transverse depression, surface very regularly reticulate. Elytra narrowed at apical third, the apices obtuse, surface opaque finely wrinkled. Body beneath more shining than above, the thorax reticulate, abdomen sparsely punctate. Claws slender, broader at base. Length .20—.26 inch; 5—6.5 mm. This species resembles cyanel/a in form but is less shining and with the thorax differently colored. . The form of the claws will enable the two to be easily separated. Occurs in the Middle and Southern States. A. cyanella Gory.—Oblong, parallel, elytra narrowing at apical third, color bluish or purple, shining. Front flat, impressed at middle, surface coarsely punctured somewhat reticulate at the sides. Thorax broad, sides nearly straight at middle, arcuate at either end, dise moderately convex with a deep triangular impression on each side behind the middle extending to the hind angle, surface distinctly reticulate at the sides, smoother at middle. Elytra obtuse at tip, dise with a vague oblique impression in front of middle, the surface moderately shining, obsoletely scabrous at base and indistinctly punctured and much smoother near the apex. Body beneath black with a purplish tinge, the prothorax indistinctly reticulate, the abdomen obsoletely punctate and nearly smooth. Tarsal claws with a broad tooth, acute at its free angle. Length .16—-.22 inch; 4—5.5 mm. It appears to have escaped notice that this species and quercata have the claws distinctly toothed. This distinguishes these two from any others at present known in our fauna, while the broader form, more shining and less sculptured surface distinguish the present from quercata. Occurs in the Middle, Southern and Western States, extending as far as Texas, also one specimen from California, (Ulke). A. quereata Fab.—Oblong, slightly narrowed posteriorly, color usually bright green with the middle of the thorax and a broad vitta on each elytron brown. Front flat without depression, densely punctured. Thorax broad, the sides usually straight at middle, arcuate at the front angle and slightly sinuate near the posterior, dise feebly convex, with a moderate depression each side behind the middle composed of two confluent transverse impressions, surface reticulate, but. less distinctly at middle. Elytra gradually narrowed to the tips which are obtuse, surface feebly granulate at base, somewhat less rugous posteriorly. Body beneath green, the thorax distinctly reticulate, the abdomen nearly smooth. Claws toothed at base. Length .16—.24 inch; 4—6 mm. There is a tendency in this species to vary in color, the bright green giving place to brownish. A. bivittata Gory, seems merely a form of this species with the brown elytral vitta well marked. The attention of collectors should be directed to this species and cyanella. They are so often sent together, and even placed side by side that I am inclined to suspect a closer relationship than that of allied species, in other words may they not be sexes of one? AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. eel! Occurs in the Middle and Southern States to Texas. I have seen one in Mr. Ulke’s cabinet from California. : A. flavimana Gory.—Narrowly cuneiform. Front convex, finely reticulate. Thorax broader than long, narrower posteriorly, apex bisinuate, sides feebly arcu- _ate, hind angles rectangular, dise moderately convex, very regularly reticulate, a vague impression each side of middle, another more distinct in front of scutellum. Elytra narrowed to apex, a fine transverse basilar impression, surface slightly rugous, vaguely striato-punctate, with one interval slightly more convex, apices obtuse. Thorax beneath reticulate, body and abdomen obsoletely reticulate or nearly smooth, the last ventral segment very coarsely punctured. Tarsal claws slender. Length .12—.20 inch; 3—5 mm. The male is more slender and smaller than the female. In the latter the last ventral segment is coarsely punctured over its entire surface while in the male the tip is alone punctured. The color of this species varies considerably.’ The head is usually metallic-green, varying to purplish. The thorax is broadly purple-black or dark brown at middle, the sides green or blue. The elytra are dark purple or bronze varying to greenish, with usually a basal triangle of green. The under side is green or bronze. Occurs in the Middle and Southern States as far as Texas. XENORHIPIS Lec. This genus differs remarkably not only from the other two of the eroup but from all others in the family in the structure of the antenne of the male. The joints of the male antennz from the second to the tenth are provided with a branch of varying length, that of the second shortest. In the accompanying plate (LV, fig. 9), I have endeavored to reproduce as accurately as possible the form of each joint and its branch, and will refer the reader there rather than give a detailed description. The antennz of the female do not differ remarkably from the usual Buprestide type, being slender and subserrate from the fifth joint. X. Brendeli Lec. Proc. Acad. 1866, 384. In the two outline figures on the plate (IV, figs. 7, 8), representing both sexes it will be observed that the thorax of the male is quadrate, and that of the female distinctly wider than long. In the latter sex the head is also more transverse and the eyes smaller than in the male and much less prominent. The three specimens known do not vary perceptibly from each other in size .20 inch; 5 mm. While very rare the species has a wide distribution. The specimen in Mr. Ulke’s cabinet was collected in Peoria, Illinois; Dr. *LeConte has one from Texas; that in my cabinet (a @ ), was found by Mr. A. Merkel in his garden at Brooklyn. 112 GEO. H.

The following pages contain the results of fragmentary studies made at various times, with notes on some genera sufficiently well known by name of which the descriptions have been necessarily imperfect. Several new genera are described here for the first time, one being a contribution from Dr. LeConte in order that the description might accompany the figure. Species are described in several genera now for the first time known in our fauna as Dasycerus and Oniticellus. Considerable space has been devoted to Polymechus and many details given on the plate, the better to elucidate its systematic position, it being now accepted as a Rutelide rather than a Dynastide. A few genera have been figured in order that the student might be able to acquire a better idea of their external form than that obtained from description alone. One foreign genus has been studied and its affinities pointed out. Myrme- cospectra seems not to have fallen under the observation of any careful student since the days of Motschulsky, and the position assigned it by that author as well as that given in the Catalogus are equally erroneous. The species formerly placed in Lichnanthe and Dasydera have been synoptically treated and placed under Amphicoma, the two genera above mentioned not presenting characters sufficient for their separation. LEPTINUS Mull. Having had occasion to examine our species of this genus with the view of describing the parts of the mouth, several important differences between the two species have been observed which are of sufficient moment to require the creation of a new generic name for our larger form. These characters in brief are as follows: ‘Head entirely without eyes; prosternum not separating the anterior coxee. Leptinus. Head with translucent eye spots at the hind angles of the head; prosternum Se Pama WMC ICORES seaaepaeeeennssaconcaceessts scletcaj-tescslesccsiesccusenects Leptinillus. The latter genus based on LZ. validus Horn, being much larger than the other was used in preference for dissection, and the sketches on the accompanying plate were made from it. The head viewed from above presents a well marked hemihexagonal frontal suture. The labrum is transverse, connate with the front, the suture well marked and nearly straight. TRANS. AMER. ENT. SOC. X. (29) AUGUST, 1882. 114 GEO. H. HORN, M. D. The mandibles are of irregular triangular form, thin and translucent, convex above, concave beneath, the inner edge finely fimbriate, the apex very acute and prolonged. The maxilla are bilobed, outer lobe longer with moderately long and rather dense ciliz, inner lobe shorter, ciliate externally and with shorter and stouter hairs internally. The palpi are four-jointed as shown in the figure. | The mentum is transverse slightly concave beneath, narrowed in front, the hind angles prolonged in long slender processes over the gula. On the front of the mentum is an accessory piece. Ligula concealed behind the mentum, the paraglossz prominent, alate, united on the median line and finely fimbriate along their margins. he palpi are short, three- jointed, the penultimate joint longer than the others, the basal support slightly projecting beyond the mentum causing the palpi to appear four-jointed. The head is provided at the posterior angles, under the lateral margin with an oval translucent eye spot recalling a similar structure in Adelops or in some: Anophthalmi. The prosternum moderately separates the anterior coxze and is fimbriate at tip, the coxal cavities open behind. The plate gives in sufficient detail the under side of the body. The legs are not long. The anterior and middle coxze have a distinet trochantin. Anterior tibize slightly broader to tip, ciliate at the outer angle, the tarsi dilated in both sexes but more widely in the male, the fourth joint bilobed. Middle tibize stout, ciliate and finely spinulose externally, the tarsi dilated but less widely than on the anterior legs, the fourth joint less distinctly bilobed. Posterior tibize slender, ciliate and spinulose, tarsi slender, first jot nearly as long as the next two, the fourth joint slender. ‘Tibial spurs all distinct. The relationship of Leptinus has already been discussed by Dr. LeConte and will not. be repeated here, and as fuller details of its structure will be given in a forthcoming work, merely enough is given here to render the accompanying plate intelligible. Details of structure are illustrated on Plate V. PLATYPSYLLA Ritsema. This genus is founded on a curious parasite discovered on the Ameri- can Beaver in captivity in the Zoological Gardens at Amsterdam. By Mr. Ritsema it was placed in a relationship not very remote from the true fleas. Prof. Westwood who described the insect about one month later believed it typical of a new order which he named Achretoptera. AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 115 In the Proc. Zool. Soc. London, Nov. 1872, Dr. LeConte gave in greater detail than had been done a description of its anatomy, especially of the mouth parts and expressed the opinion that Platypsylla was a Coleopteron not very remote in its affinities from Leptinus. With this opinion I fully agree. i I have before me the dissection of the mouth parts made by Mr. Mat- thews and another prepared by myself which are illustrated by the an- nexed plate. As these differ somewhat from those given by Dr. LeConte and subsequently by Westwood, (Thesaurus Oxoniensis, 1874), attention will be called to the differences. The antennze consist of a long basal joint followed by a broader cupuliform piece which seems to be composed of two joints. Within the cupule is an oval mass composed of six segments. Westwood and LeConte give a greater number of segments to the mass but do not mention the division of the cupule. The mentum being easily seen without dissection, my figure does not differ essentially from that of those authors. The maxillze are composed of two lobes, both thin and translucent, the inner especially so. The outer is ciliate with long hairs on its outer side from the insertion of the palpus to its apex. The inner lobe is long, wedge-shaped, truncate at apex and ciliate with very short hairs. The palpus is four-jointed as shown in the figure. _ When the mentum and maxilla are removed and the head viewed from the under side the following structures become evident. The frontal suture nearly straight defines the clypeus, which has at its middle a small oval dark spot being a point at which the chitin is denser. Immediately posterior to this spot is a small somewhat pentagonal piece articulated at its base a little in front of the frontal suture and which is the labrum. Posterior to the labrum on each side is a small oval spot. Immediately behind the labrum the edge of the mandible can be detected. This organ is extremely thin and transparent and is with ereat difficulty defined. The illustration is as far as I have been able to follow its outline. That this is not merely a line of sculpture on the head has been rendered evident to me by the removal of the struc- ture from the opposite side of the head, but I have not been able to isolate the mandible Prof. Westwood was unable to find any trace of the mandible. After a very careful study of the piece which has been figured by Dr. LeConte as the mandible I am convinced that it is really one of the granules which occur behind the labrum, and that the apparently serrate edge 116 GEO. H. HORN, M. D. is a very irregular fracture. That this piece could hardly be even an aborted mandible seems evident, from the fact, that it is a little less in size than the first or basal joint of the maxillary palpus. The other parts of the body as described seem to need no further comment. Details are given on Plate V. MONGDUS* n. g. (Lathridiide). I. have established this genus on a very small species having the following remarkable characters : Antenne ten-jointed, joints 1—2 thick, third a little larger than the following 4—9, which are rounded but little longer than wide, tenth as long as the eighth and ninth, oval, obtuse, above one-half longer than wide. Eyes convex, promi- nent. Front coxz not prominent, separated by the narrow prosternum, cavities closed behind. Legs rather short, tibize without distinct spurs; tarsi three-jointed, the first joint large, dilated, flat and spongy beneath, oval, not emarginate; second joint small arising from the upper surface of the first joint, about one-third from the distal end; third joint long, with rather large claws feebly toothed near the base. Upper surface very coarsely sculptured, elytra with rows of large fovee and with the interstaces subcostate, alternately more elevated as in certain Micro- rhopale. Under surface nearly smooth. M. guttatus Lec. n. sp.—Fulvous, antenne black. Head flat, broadly im- pressed, opaque, alutaceous or finely punctulate. Prothorax quadrate, a little longer than wide, not wider than the head with the eyes, sides nearly straight, tip and base feebly rounded, the latter margined, angles, both front and hind, acute, slightly ‘prominent; dise very coarsely punctured, with four shallow im- pressions; there is a slight vestige of a smooth elevated dorsal line behind the middle. Seutel visible, black. Elytra more than one-half wider than the pro- thorax, truncate at base; with rectangular humeri, rounded behind and covering completely the dorsal segments; sides parallel, strongly margined; disc moder- ately convex with nine rows of large cribrate punctures; these rows are somewhat confused by pairs, with the interspaces elevated and subcostate; they are marked with black spots as follows: one at four-fifths the length on the first and second row of punctures, and. another very near the tip; two on the third and fourth row, the anterior one elongate, about the middle, the posterior one between the two spots of the inner rows; two elongate spots on the fifth and sixth rows, one before, the other behind the middle; and finally some elongate clouds on the seventh and eighth rows behind the middle. Length 2mm. (PI. IV, fig. 10). One specimen, Cedar Keys, Florida; Mr. H. G. Hubbard. This odd form seems to lead to the Monotomidze, but differs by many characters. DASYCERUS Brongn. This genus heretofore represented only in Kurope by three species has been lately discovered within our fauna, two species having been almost simultaneously discovered on both sides of our continent. They are as follows: * Through the kindness of Dr. LeConte I have been permitted to publish the description to accompany the figure I have drawn on Pl. IV. AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 117 D. carolinensis n. sp.—Brownish testaceous. Head triangular, each side impressed, lateral angles somewhat elevated, surface subopaque, granulate. Thorax transversely hexagonal, apex wider than base, lateral angles prominent but obtuse, dise convex with an obtuse, sinuous, costiform elevation extending from apex to base on each side of middle, surface granulate. Elytra broadly oval, a little more narrowed at apex, convex, each with the suture slightly elevated ‘and three well defined sharp coste, the margin also costiform, intervals concave, irregularly biseriately punctulate. Body beneath and legs somewhat paler than above. Length .07 inch; 1.75 mm. (PI. IV, fig. 11). Resembles the European D. sulcatus Brongn., but less robust, the thorax less transverse, and the humeri of’ the elytra more rounded. Occurs near Morganton, North Carolina, | Morrison). D. angulicollis n. sp.—Brownish testaceous. Head triangular, above granu- late in lines, a smooth space over the insertion of the antenne. Thorax very transversely hexagonal, the lateral angles acute and prominent, apex slightly prolonged at middle and on each side within the front angles emarginate, the latter prominent anteriorly, dise convex, on each side a slender carina diverging posteriorly bifurcating in front forming a Y, near the lateral margin anteriorly a short carina, surface variably granulate. Elytra broadly oval, humeri rounded, convex, suture slightly elevated, disc of each side tricostate the intervals densely and irregularly triseriately granulate-punctate, the marginal interval smoother at base. Body beneath somewhat paler than above, comparatively smooth. Length AO (onehise lero mami, (1 eVi; fiol2). Resembles more closely D. su/catus and has the lateral angles of the thorax even more acute. It differs also from su/catus and carolinensis in the form of the apex of the thorax. D. sulcatus differs from both our species in having the intervals of the elytra ornamented with a double series of very regularly placed coarse punctures, and by the humeri of the elytra quite distinctly angulate and not rounded. Occurs in California and given me by Mr. Ulke. PEPLOGLYPTUS Lec. This genus was established by Dr. LeConte for a curious little Histeride allied to Glymma, (see Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 1880, p. 189), differing especially in the position of the antennal fossze. On plate VI, fig. 1, will be found a much enlarged representation of the upper surface ; figure 2 gives a view of the head and thorax seen from the front. On the right side of the latter the antenna is extended so that the fossa under the anterior angle is seen. ‘The scape when at rest is received in a groove at the side of the head extending to the labrum, the funiculus and club are folded backward as shown in the left side of figure 2. PSEPHENUS Lec. In order that some points in the structure of this rather anomalous genus may be better understood I have prepared an outline sketch on plate VI, fig. 14, of the upper surface of a male. The sexual differences (30) 118 GEO. H. HORN, M. D. in the maxillary palpi are also shown. Fig. 15 is a more enlarged view of a portion of the under side. It will be observed that the structure of the legs and antennee is decidedly Elmide, that of the under side recalls strikingly some Dascyllide. Psephenus seems to be a genus with Elmide affinities pointing strongly in the direction of the Hubriide series of Dascyllidee. LARA Lec. At the time of the description of this genus, the only specimen - known was imperfect, having but three basal joints of the antennze remaining. Having recently received a perfect specimen the outline on plate VI, fig. 16, has been prepared with the view of illustrating the missing organ and of giving a general idea of the species. The antennze are rather long, scarcely at all serrate, first joint stouter, second oval much shorter, 3—11 subequal. The legs and tarsi do not differ notably from those of Psephenus. ONITICELLUS Cerv. O. californicus n. sp.—Oblong, black, feebly shining, elytra more opaque. Thorax broad, emarginate in front, sides and base arcuate, surface with very coarse punctures, regularly but not densely placed, the intervals with finer punc- tures, a slight depression in front of the scutellum. Elytra finely seven-striate, strie with punctures not closely placed, intervals opaque, very finely alutace- ous and irregularly biseriately punctate, each puncture with a very fine hair. Pygidium opaque, sparsely punctate. Body beneath shining, coarsely punctate. Length .54 inch; 13.5 mm. Male.—Head broad; clypeus expanded at the sides, slightly prolonged at middle and arcuate in front, bearing a moderately long, slightly arcuate horn which is feebly emarginate at tip, behind the horn the head is smooth; occiput transversely carinate and with a short compressed horn at middle; sides of head coarsely pune- tured. Thorax convex, anteriorly with a broad but shallow depression behind which is a small smooth tubercle. (Pl. VI, figs. 3—4). : Female.—Head oval, coarsely punctured; clypeus nearly semicircular, obtusely bidentate in front; vertex with a short obtuse horn situated immediately between the eyes; occiput with a transverse carina on a line with the posterior border of the eyes. Thorax regularly convex, more coarsely punctured than the male, without the anterior concavity but with a slight tubercle at middle behind the anterior margin. The genus Oniticellus is closely related to Onthophagus and differs in having the antenne eight-jointed and by the presence of a very distinct scutellum. This is the first instance of the occurrence of the genus in our fauna, in fact there is but one other, from Cuba, in the Western Hemisphere. For this interesting addition we are indebted to Mr. Henry Edwards, who collected but one pair at the base of Mount Shasta, California. AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 119 AMPHICOMA Lair. Under this generic name are included the North American species formerly placed in Lichnanthe and Dasydera.

Thorax broader than long, densely punc- tured over its entire surface and clothed with rather short yellowish hair. Elytra with very short and not dense black hair, contiguous along the entire suture, the sutural angle with a distinct tooth. Length .44 inch; 11 mm. The antennal club is slightly longer in the male. The posterior legs are stouter in the female and shorter and the tarsi relatively longer. The posterior tibiz are distinctly arcuate in %, straight in 9. As a general rule the ? is much less pubescent than the % and the hairs shorter, although the differences here are less’ marked than in the following species. Occurs in New York, Pennsylvania, and the New England States. A. ursina Lec. (Dasydera), Proc. Acad. 1861, p. 345; Cooperi Horn, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 1867, p. 164.—Piceous, shining, head and thorax with distinct zeneous lustre, elytra testaceous. Labrum very feebly emarginate. Thorax nar- rowed in front, broader in 9, surface densely punctured with a smooth space at each hind angle, clothed with silken white hairs longer in %. Elytra dehiscent posteriorly, sparsely clothed with short white hairs. Body beneath moderately densely clothed with white hairs, the abdomen smooth at middle and rufo-testa- ceous, without hairs in 9, very sparsely pubescent even at sides and entirely rufous %. Legs piceous with zeneous lustre, tibize and tarsi usually paler. Length A0—.60 inch; 10—15 mm. In this species the legs, especially the tibiae are more densely ciliate than in any other species.

Ent. Soc. 1867, p. 164.—Piceous, clothed with pale yellowish hairs. Head and thorax with eneous lustre. Thorax densely punctured with a smooth space near each hind angle, hair moderate in length, uniformly yellowish. Elytra dehiscent posteriorly, brownish testaceous, sparsely clothed with very short black hair and with spots of short yellowish pubescence arranged in three irregular rows. Abdomen piceous with sneous lustre, the third segment nearly naked and with dark pubescence at the side margin only. Legs piceous, sparsely hairy, tarsi paler. Length .50—.60 inch; 13—15 mm. * Sexual characters as in /upina. Occurs with the preceding. A. Rathvoni Lec. (Dasydera), New Species, 1863, p. 76. Closely resembles Edwardsi, except that the pubescence of the dise of thorax is brownish-yellow and the elytra are maculate as in canina. Occurs in California, Nevada and Washington Territory. Which of the west coast species was seen by Doubleday and casually re- corded (Loudon’s Magaz. 1839, iii, p. 97), it is not possible to determine. PLUSIOTIS Burm. P. Lecontei n. sp.—Oblong oval, moderately convex, above brilliant green. Clypeus nearly semicircular, densely punctured and of cupreous color; head more sparsely punctured, the punctures finer posteriorly. Thorax twice as wide as long, narrower in front, sides anteriorly arcuate, posteriorly nearly straight, dise moderately convex, surface sparsely finely punctulate, color brilliant green, the AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 121 margins somewhat cupreous by transmitted light. Elytra wider than the thorax, broadest behind the middle, surface moderately deeply striate, the strie finely punctured, intervals distinctly convex, very sparsely punctulate, the second interval with coarse punctures which extend from the base a little beyond the middle; a very distinct tuberosity at the apical termination of the third and fourth intervals. Pygidium green with golden lustre, sparsely punctulate. Body beneath fimbriate with pale hairs. Metasternum and posterior cox greenish with cupreous lustre. Abdomen very sparsely punctate with more evident cupreous lustre. Femora green, tibiee more cupreous. Tarsi piceous with eneous surface. Length .80—.90 inch; 20—23 mm. Specimens have been observed with the surface more or less suffused with cupreous, these seem rather immature than true varieties. This species is closely related to P. Lacordairei Bouc., (Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1875, p. 122, pl. xxiii, fig. 4), but differs in important characters. M. Aug. Sallé has kindly made comparisons for me and I repeat his words: “ It is an entirely new species very different from all those described and the smallest of all, the under side is cupreous while in Lacordaire? it is silvery, the thorax is more arcuate and the lateral border more dilated, the strize of the elytra are deeper and the punctures in them larger and deeper, finally the green color is deeper and the legs more red.” The first specimen examined was from Tucson, Arizona, in the cabinet of Mr. H. Edwards, a second in the cabinet of Dr. LeConte was collected by Prof. Snow in New Mexico. ‘Lhe series in my cabinet came from near Prescott, Arizona. I dedicate this species to a friend. POLYMCCHUS Lec. Clypeus somewhat trilobed, the middle lobe bidentate, separated from the front by an elevated carina which is broadly interrupted at middle. Labrum trans- verse, slightly prolonged at middle, carinate above and densely ciliate. Mandibles pyramidal, the outer edge not toothed, the tip turned upward. Maxille stout at base, the inner lobe small, the inner edge double with three small teeth on each edge and with long cilis, the tip acute; palpi moderate in length, the last joint elongate-oval and equal to all the others. Mentum narrow, the base suddenly broader, above the base gradually wider to middle then narrowed to the apex which is slightly emarginate; sides of mentum with long ciliz, under surface with short hairs. Ligula triangular in great part concealed behind the mentum, densely ciliate at tip; palpi short, three-jointed, the second joint very small, the terminal longer than the other two combined. Eyes large convex, larger in the male, deeply emarginate by the sides of the front. Antenne ten-jointed, club three-jointed as long as the stem in the female, one-half longer in the male. Legs short, stout, tibiee not longer than the femora, tarsi as long or longer than the tibiee. Tarsal claws dissimilar in the sexes, those of the female simple feebly arcuate and alike on all the feet, those of the male as follows: front leg—anterior claw a little stouter than the other with a trace of a tooth at middle, posterior claw simple ; middle leg—anterior or outer spur deeply divided, the lower division forming TRANS.

Fourth joint of middle and posterior tarsi with a spiniform pro-. longation at apex beneath. P. brevipes Lec., the only species known, is at all times a rare insect and until now the material at hand did not admit of the sacrifice of a specimen for dissection. The figures on the accom- panying plate give an idea of the general form of the species as well as of its details. ; Since the first description of the species (Proc. Acad. 1856, p. 23), the position of the genus has remained in doubt. In the Classification of the Coleoptera of North America it is placed in the tribe Orycto- morphi, a division of the Dynastide series. Our later studies show that Polymechus is allied rather to Parastasia an Kast Indian genus associated with Rutela by Lacordaire. The genera of Scarabzeidze seem to need revision, especially in the entire Pleurostict series. The Melolonthidee are not satisfactorily grouped, the Cetonide genera not at all defined, while much remains to be cleared up in the doubtful ground between the Rutelides and Dynastides. Details of structure will be found on Pl. VI, figs. 5—12. APHONUS Lec. } Details of the structure of the oral organs are given on Pl. IV, fig. 13, in order that comparisons may be made between Polymachus and Aphonus, the former being now referred to the Rutelini, the latter a true, Dynastide superficially resembling Polymachus. ELATERID &. Since the days of Latreille many attempts have been made to define the families of that division of the serricorn series named by that author the Sternoxes, containing the Buprestidee, Throscidze, Eucnemidee, Elateridee, Cerophytidze and Cebrionidze, as they are accepted by one or other author. The first two families are not only abundantly distinct from each other but possess characters which sharply separate them from those which follow. The last four families do not present any characters which are defined with sufficient sharpness to warrant their separation. In the preceding volume of these Transactions I have attempted to demonstrate that the Cebrionide: are not separable from the Elateride, the tribe Plastocerini filling the space which formerly existed between the two families. The Eucnemidze on the other hand seem more sharply defined. AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 123 Here we discover no trochantin to the middle coxze which exists in all Elateridee. If, however, Perothops be considered a member of the family, not only does this character fail but we have also present a form of front analogous to that of the Cebrionide, to all of which must be added a greater length of tibial spurs and serrate ungues. In his elaborate monograph of the Eucnemidze de Bonvouloir (ex- cluding Perothops) includes Cerophytum, in which Lacordaire observed characters which seemed to him of sufficient importance to retain it as a family by itself. Neither course seems proper. Cerophytum has a short transverse labrum, connate with the front, the suture however distinct, in this respect it resembles the Cebrionidee. The front is gibbous and the clypeus obtusely carinate and the entire head resembles rather the Rhipiceridze or the Macropogonini of the Dascyllide. The very long trochanters on the middle and posterior legs recall a similar character, less developed however, in the front and middle legs of the Macropogonini. The posterior coxee have not the usual lamina observed in the Sternoxide series, but are sunken in the coxal cavities on the same plane with the metasternum and the abdomen. The mode of insertion of the antennee in the EKucnemide, in which .the base of these organs is distant from the eyes and the front greatly narrowed, is a character to which due weight should be given. Cero- phytum possesses it, but Perothops seems as nearly as possible inter- mediate between the Hucnemide and Elateride types. In view of the facts above given what is the proper course to pursue ? Should we recognize the Kucnemide, Elateridz, Cebrionidx, Pero- thopidze and Cerophytidee as distinct families each equal in value to the Buprestidze, or should they be considered parts of a greater family which can safely be assumed to have that value? The latter course seems to me far more acceptable. The following table of the sub-families of the Elateride complex is therefore presented. Posterior cox laminate. Trochanters small.

HORN, M.D. Having the sub-families arranged it will be observed that the Kucne- minz and Cerophytinz have no visible trochantin to the middle Coxe. The Elaterinze and Cebrioninz have a well defined trochantin which is very small in the Perothopinee. In the first sub-family the mandibles are short, usually robust, their apices broad or bidentate. The vast majority of the species of the second sub-family have a similar type of mandible; in the final tribe (Plastocerini), the mandibles become prominent and acute at tip and in great part smooth, a modification which is exaggerated in the Cebrionine to become gradually reduced in the Perothopinze and Cerophytinee. In their relationship with each other the first three sub-familhes form a very natural linear series. The fourth with Kucnemide affinity seems equally related to the Cebrionides. The Cerophytinze seem to me to have less Kucnemide affinity than de Bonvouloir claims, but with some relationship with that series, and almost equally with the Perothopinz, they lead very naturally to the Rhipiceridee and Dascyllidee. CRYPTOSTOMA Latr. The figure on the accompanying plate VI, fig. 13, will give an idea of the form and color of Cryptostoma Dohrni Horn. The color is bright blood-red the shaded part of the elytra black. I have seen but one specimen kindly given me by Dr. Dohrn who obtained it from a series of specimens collected near San Diego, California. MY RMECOSPECTRA Motsch. Head oval, broadest between the eyes and areuately narrowed behind them. Antenne arising under a slight frontal ridge and more distant from the eyes than from the front, apparently ten-jointed. Labrum transverse, feebly emarginate, concealing the mandibles. Maxillary palpi with the second and last joints equal in length, the third very short and transverse the terminal flat, oval and obliquely truneate. Labial palpi short, the terminal joint cylindrical, acute at tip, more slender than the preceding but equal in length. Thorax ovate, convex, the base prolonged, basal margin reflexed, hind angles feebly prominent, anterior angles with large extensible vesicles. Scutellum moderate, rounded at tip. Elytra oval, rounded at tip, humeri obtusely prominent, dise very convex posteriorly, behind the base transversely impressed. A large extensible vesicle behind the humeri. Body apterous. Abdomen conically prolonged beyond the elytra. Legs slender. Tarsi five-jointed in both sexes. Claws with membranous appendages. Aytenna %.—First joint elongate pyriform, slightly arcuate, second very small almost concealed, third large, quadrate, a little broader than long, distal edge emarginate, joints 3-—-10 subequal, eleventh slightly longer. Anrenn® 9.—First joint large, triangularly dilated, second narrower and one- half shorter, third a half shorter than the second and the smallest of all, 4—7 longer than the third, 8—11 a little longer and broader. AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 125 Through the kindness of Dr. H. A. Hagen of the Museum of Com- parative Zoology, I have been enabled to study this genus which appears to have been passed in silence since its description by Motschulsky. The male only has been examined, the description of the female antennze are after the latter author. It is to me a matter of great surprise that Motschulsky, and after him the authors of the Catalogus, should have placed such a char- acteristic "insect so far from its natural relationship. The presence of extensible vesicles and the structure of the male antennz are sufh- cient to have suggested its place at once. It is placed by Motschulsky as a Ptinide. : . There can be no doubt but that Myrmecospectra is allied, to Collops. The antennz are however more distinctly eleven-jointed than in the latter genus, while the true third joint is similarly dilated in both. The tarsi are similar in the sexes, the anterior pair being five-jointed in both, while in Collops they are four-jointed in the males. While it is related to the latter genus in its antennal structure the form of body and even the color and markings reproduce Temnopsophus Horn, (‘Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 1872, p. 111), which however has the tarsi as in Collops. M. Nietneri Motsch. Etudes Ent. 1858, pp. 65 and 122, fig. 17. This is the only species at present known, it is found in Ceylon. The original specimens were collected by Nietner, one of them having reached Dr. Hagen to whom I am indebted for the privilege of examining it as well as for one of the outline sketches which will be found on the accompanying plate VI, figs. 18—19. MECOMYCTER 0». g. (Dasytini). Antenne eleven-jointed, arising midway between the eyes and the margin of the front, under a slight ridge, first joint pyriform, second oval, third and fourth narrower than the second, five to ten gradually broader, somewhat triangular, eleventh longer, oval. Head oval, prolonged to a flat beak of moderate length. Eyes oval, moderately prominent. Labrum semicircular, membranous at base. Mandibles moderately prominent, acute, feebly arcuate. Maxillee with inner lobe prolonged and ciliate within, the palpi moderately long, the terminal joint longest and slightly ciliate. Mentum narrow and long, the palpi slender and glabrous, the last two joints equal. Thorax oval, broadest at base. Scutellum distinct, quadrangular. Elytra wider than the thorax, oval, broader behind, apices entire, rounded. Legs slender. Tarsi five-jointed, slightly ciliate beneath, first four joints equal, fifth longer. Ungues slender and simple, without lobes. This genus presents a curious combination of characters found sepa- rately in various genera of Dasytini. The prolonged head allies it to Arthrobrachus and the Prionocerides of Lacordaire, and its simple ungues to Melyris. By the structure of its tarsi it resembles Dasytes. (32) 126 GEO. H. HORN, M.D. M. omalinus n. sp.—Body beneath piceous. Head flat above, coarsely punc- tured, orange-yellow, piceous behind the eyes. Antenne piceous, four or five basal joints pale. Thorax oval, narrowed in front, a little longer than wide, apex truncate, base feebly arcuate, hind angles rounded, dise convex, coarsely and moderately densely punctured, surface orange-yellow sometimes with a median piceous stripe. Elytra coarsely punctured, the punctures gradually finer to apex, surface finely pubescent, color orange-yellow with a common sutural piceous stripe broader at either end, not attaining the apex, sides posteriorly piceous, this color sometimes extending and joining the sutural stripe, forming an anchor. Legs pale yellow. Length .14—.16 inch; 3.5—4 mm. (PI. VI, fig. 17). : In the male the last ventral segment is feebly emarginate, and entirely piceous in color. In the female arcuate and tipped yellow. Occurs in western Kansas, collected by Dr. H. A. Brous. In the accompanying figure the head is represented fully extended. In nature it is deflexed and inserted nearly as far as the eyes. The first glance at the species recalls some of the forms of Omalini ( Trigonodemus), hence the specific name. Synopsis of the species of the tribe LEBIINI. BY GEORGE H. HORN, M.D. During the past few years Baron Chaudoir has excited an interest: in the truncatipenne series of Carabidae by his numerous monographie publications, which show a conscientious and profound study of the genera and species of this group. While I have been able to follow him satisfactorily in all the minor details of his work, I have utterly failed to see in his larger subdivisions any evidence of a systematic treatment of the subject. It will be evident to any one studying Chaudoir’s essays on the truncatipenne series that the ligula and paraglossee play an important part in the diagnoses of the divisions whether called tribes or groups. Thinking that the key to the system might be found by a careful study of these organs, dissections were prepared and drawings made of the parts, for comparison, and the conclusion was forced upon me, as it will be on any one who will adopt the same course, that the mouth organs. are of very little value in defining groups higher than genera and when used at all must be used with extreme caution. With the desire of doing full justice to the subject dissections were made of all accessible genera many of which have been published in the-preceding volume. The further the dissections were made the more evident it became that the ligula must be discarded as the basis AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 127 of any system of subdivision of the Carabidze. Knowing then that the publication of the present paper in the form originally intended would carry with it a very decided expression of the above opinion, I felt that greater weight would attach to that opinion if some other system were presented at the same time. This essay became a secondary matter and the Classification of the Carabidee as presented in the preceding volume was allowed precedence. The synoptic table of the genera will not be repeated here, nor will I include Zebia, as nothing of importance has been added since my paper published several years ago. The descriptions of the species are for the most part short, several of the more troublesome genera only have received greater attention in their details. : TETRAGONODERUS Dej. This genus is a centre around which are grouped others having in common a form of inner maxillary lobe which I have illustrated in a series of dissections of Carabide mouth parts, (‘Trans. Am. Ent. Soe. ix, pl. viii, fig. 80). The tibial spurs of the middle and posterior legs are also long and slender and their margins very finely serrulate. The terminal spur of the anterior tibia is more obviously serrulate than the others. The tribe Tetragonoderidx as suggested by Chaudoir, (Bull. Mose. 1876), contains five genera three of which are due to him. Cyclosomus Latr. which belongs here has a decided resemblance to Omophron, and has very oddly place by various authors from an incorrect appreciation of its true relationship which Chaudoir first made known. Among the genera dismembered from Tetragonoderus is Peronoscelis Chd., which is said to differ from the former by the ligula not margined in front by the extension of the paraglossee. In the dissection above quoted the ligula and paraglossze have been drawn exactly as I have observed them and there does not appear to be any extension of mem- brane in front of the ligula, an appearance of this kind may, however, be produced by disarranging the focus of the microscope and an optical illusion is the result. From the failure of this character there may be considerable doubt of the value of the genus. In the diagnosis of the two genera will be found the following expressions : TeTRAGONODERUS * * * unguiculi tenues, acuti, subtus obsoletissime basi, inter- dum evidentius, denticulati. PeRoNosceELis * * * unguiculi simplices, aut obsoletissime basi denticulati. These extracts are introduced because certain of our species have 128 GEO. H. HORN, M. D. denticulate claws while two have them absolutely simple, and Chaudoir has already supposed that one of the latter may be a Peronosc®lis although the species was unknown to him in nature. Tetragonoderus is represented in our fauna by four species which may be arranged in the following manner : Claws serrate, (TETRAGONODERUS). Prosternum margined at tip. Elytra in great part piceous.

Antennze with two basal joints pale. Head smooth. Thorax nearly twice as wide as long, base and apex equal, sides arcuate, slightly sinuate posteriorly, hind angles distinct not prominent, dise smooth, median line distinctly impressed but attaining neither the apex nor base. Elytra oval slightly oblong, finely striate, intervals slightly convex, dorsal punctures distinct, situated on the third interval, the anterior somewhat in front of middle near the third stria, the posterior one-fourth from apex near the second stria; color piceous with bronze surface lustre, with a pale space on the intervals 5—6—7 near the base, one in interrupted sinuous band at apical third testaceous. Prosternum margined at tip. Legs piceo-testaceous. Claws serrate. Length .20 inch; 5 mm. Male.—The anterior tarsi have three joints moderately dilated and slightly squamulose beneath, the middle tarsi with joints 2—4 more narrowly dilated. The last ventral segment is acutely notehed at middle posteriorly and on each side one setigerous puncture. Femule.—Tarsi slender. Anal segment entire and with two setz on each side. Chaudoir places this species in a series in which the prosternum is not margined. The resemblance of this insect to a Bembidium of the Notaphus group is certainly remarkable and it is usually found in that vicinity in amateur collections. Occurs in the States bordering the Gulf. T. fasciatus Hald.—Piceous, slightly bronzed, antenne and legs testaceous, elytra fasciate with testaceous. Thorax similar in form to intersectus but less broad and with the sides less arcuate in front. Elytra also more aval, more deeply striate and with the intervals distinctly convex. dorsal punctures as in intersectus ; the color usually in great part testaceous with a semicircular space around the scutellum, a broad sinuous band with irregular edges at middle, and the apical fourth piceous. Prosternum obtuse, not distinctly margined at tip. Claws serrate. Length .18 inch; 4.5 mm. : The sexual characters are as in intersectus. This species has a far wider distribution than the preceding, occuring AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 129 from Michigan and New York to Louisiana and Texas, extending to Arizona and the Peninsula of California. The more northern specimens _are more shining and smaller with the elytra always paler. In the Texas region the specimens are somewhat less shining with darker color. T. latipennis Lec.—Head piceous, surface bronzed, front with a slight arcuate impression each side, the anterior supra-orbital puncture unusually deep. Eyes rather prominent. Antennze testaceous. Thorax colored as the head, less than twice as wide as long, apex and base equal, margin slightly reflexed, sides arcuate in front, rather strongly sinuate posteriorly, hind angles acute but not prominent, apical arcuate impression distinct, in front of which the surface is longitudinally wrinkled, median impression moderately deep, on each side of dise a punctiform impression, basal margin longitudinally wrinkled. Elytra broadly oval, very little longer than wide, striate, the striz indistinctly punctured, inter- vals slightly convex, dorsal punctures as in intersectus but each one situated more anteriorly ; color yellowish testaceous with an irregular undulating fascia at middle composed of small piceous spots, the apex for a short distance piceous. Body be- neath piceo-testaceous. Legs testaceous. Prosternum slightly protuberant at tip and distinctly margined. Claws simple. Length .20—.22 inch; 5—5.5 mm. Male.—The anterior tarsi have three joints very distinctly dilated and squamu- lose beneath, the middle tarsi narrowly dilated with joints 2—4 squamulose beneath, the first joint only at tip. The anal segment is feebly emarginate at middle and the margin on each side has but one setigerous puncture. Female.—The tarsi are not dilated. The anal segment entire and with one seta each side as in the male. It may be observed in this species that the spurs of the tibiae are less distinctly serrulate than in the two preceding species, the anterior tibial spur especially so. The general appearance of this species is that of a broad fasciatus. There seems very little doubt in my mind that Chaudoir is correct in merely guessing that this species should be referred to Peronoscelis. It should probably be placed near wndatus and mexicanus, Occurs in Texas. T. pallidus Horn.—Pale rufo-testaceous, subopaque. Head impunctate, without impressions, eyes not prominent. Antenne testaceous. Thorax less than twice as wide as long, sides moderately arcuate in front, oblique and very slightly sinuate behind, hind angles rectangular, not prominent, disc with a finely im- pressed median line and without lateral foveee. Elytra oblong-oval, finely striate, strize not punctured, intervals nearly flat, dorsal punctures not evident. Body beneath smooth, prosternum obtuse at tip, not margined. Claws simple. Length .18—.20 inch; 4.5—5 mm. Male.—Sexual characters as in latipennis. Femalc.—As in latipennis. In this species the mentum tooth is broader and less acute than in those which precede. I have seen but two specimens of this species, one 9 from the south- ern district of California, the other from Camp Grant, Arizona. TRANS. AMER. ENT. SOC. X. (33) AuGauST, 1882. tO GEO. H. HORN, M. D. NEMOTARSUS Lec. ; This genus contains but one species resembling at first sight some of the varieties of Lebia scapularis. The head is rather suddenly narrowed behind the large eyes and the neck is narrow. The thorax is broadest at base which is arcuately truncate, the lateral margin gradually broader from apex to base. Color yellowish testaceous, elytra piceous with an oval spot near the base, and the apex testaceous. The tibial spurs are long and slender (equalling very nearly the first. tarsal joint), their margins not serrulate. The tarsi are slender and long, the first joint equalling the next two, fourth joint simple. Ungues with long pectination. One species occurs in our fauna. N. elegans Lec.—Length .20—.22 inch; 5—5.5 mm. Male.—Anterior tarsi feebly dilated, the first three joints finely biseriately squamulose beneath. Middle tarsi slender. Anal segment with one seta each side. Female.—Tarsi slender. Anal segment bisetose. LEBIA Latr. Since the revision of our native species published by me (Trans. Am. Ent. Soe. iv, p. 150), but one species has been described, (L. rhodopus Schwarz, Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc. 1878, p. 354 = viridis Say), and one Mexican species observed in Texas, DL. biteniata Chev. This belongs in our series near pulchella. It is pale rufo-testaceous, antennz piceous the basal two joints pale, legs piceous, the bases of the femora pale. Elytra violaceous, with a yellow band in front of middle, arcuate to the front on each elytron, and another narrower apical band leaving only the sutural angle violaceous. Length .22 inch; 5.5 mm. In regard to the other species mentioned in our lists very little need be said. LL. rujicollis Lec. is probably merely a variety of cyanipennis Dej., simi- lar variations in color have been observed in the species of Tecnophilus. L. frigida Chaud. does not present any characters separating it specifically from fuscata De}. LL. divisa Lee. which has the elytra blue, the basal third red, head and thorax of same color, should probably be referred to the group known as Lamprias in the European fauna. I have seen three speci- mens all of which are females. The genera into which Chaudoir has divided Lebia seem for the most. part not only unnecessary but untenable. In a review of our genera of Carabidee I have attempted to demonstrate by dissection that all the genera have distinct epilobes developed however in a varying degree, hence any division founded on their supposed absence is untenable.

These differences become so vague that it is not always easy to determine with certainty the generic position of a species. COPTODERA D<¢j. In this genus the ligula proper is rather narrow, bisetose at tip, the paraglossee membranous, wide, prolonged beyond the tip of the ligula, their apices in contact or even overlapping. The mentum is broadly and rather deeply emarginate without tooth. The terminal joints of the palpi are somewhat fusiform. The labrum is large almost concealing the mandibles. Antenne with the first three joints and the base of the fourth glabrous. The head is not narrowed behind the eyes. Middle of base of thorax very slightly lobed. Tibial spurs normal in length. Tarsi slender, pubescent above, first joint as long as the next two, fourth feebly emarginate. Ungues pectinate. One species occurs within our territory. . C. werata Dej.—Piceous, elytra bluish-green. Length .24—.26 inch; 6-6.5 mm. Male.—Anterior tarsi feebly dilated, first three joints biseriately squamulose. Middle tibize distinctly emarginate on the inner side near the tip, the tarsi slender. Anal segment bisetose each side. Female.—Tarsi slender. Middle tibia not emarginate. Anal segment as in the male. The tibial character above noted is usual in Lebia. The present is the only other instance in which I have observed it. Occurs in the Middle and Southern States. PHLE@OXENA Chand. ; The characters are very nearly those of Coptodera. The ligula is quadrisetose in front, the paraglossee prolonged and slender at tip. The genus does not seem composed of very homogeneous material as one species is added for want of a better position and our own has no mentum tooth as required by the diagnosis. Almost the entire fourth antennal joint is glabrous. One species occurs in our fauna. P. signata Dej. (Coptodera).—Head piceous. Thorax testaceous with a median piceous spot more or less defined. Elytra piceous with an undulating fascia posteriorly, and an irregular dentate band more or less interrupted, broad 132 GEO. H. HORN, M.D. at the lateral margin, behind the base, testaceous. Legs testaceous. Length .22—.24 inch; 5.5—6 mm. Male.—Anterior tarsi with three joints slightly dilated and beneath biseriately squamulose. Anal segment with one seta each side. Female.—Tarsi slender. Anal segment bisetose each side. Occurs in the Gulf States and the Carolinas. DROMIUS Bon. This genus is typical of a group, called by Chaudoir the Dromiides, which seems very closely related to his Callidides as both groups are defined. In examining the ligula it will be observed that all the genera have that member bordered in front by a membrane which is an exten- sion of the paraglossee, incomplete however in Metabletus. Dromius makes an exception, there is no membranous border whatever, at least, in D. piceus. In Dromius the palpi are slender, the tarsi slender with the fourth joint not bilobed nor emarginate, the ungues more or less serrate and the mentum without tooth. In our fauna but two species occur, very dissimilar in their general aspect and almost generically distinct. In Kurope the species are moder- ately numerous and in form other characters supply the missing links in our small series. They are: Entirely piceous. Thorax broader than long, trapezoidal. Elytra nearly parallel, humeri distinct, body winged. Palpi distinctly pubescent........... piceus De}. Pale testaceous, head black. Form slender. Thorax a little longer than wide, very narrowly margined. KElytra elongate, gradually broader behind, humeri obliterated, body apterous. Palpi not distinctly pubescent....... atriceps Lec. D. piceus Dej.—Piceous, moderately shining. Head distinctly longitudi- nally wrinkled above the eyes. Thorax trapezoidal, wider than long, narrower at base, sides moderately arcuate and margined. the margin moderately reflexed, hind angles obtuse, median line nearly entire, surface slightly, transversely wrinkled. Elytra oblong, parallel, surface striate, strize not distinctly punctured, intervals slightly convex, dorsal punctures not evident. Body beneath piceous, smooth. Length .26—.30 inch; 6.5—7.5 mm. Male.—The anterior tarsi of the male are slightly dilated, the first three joints biseriately lamellate beneath. The anal segment is slightly emarginate at middle and on each side are three setigerous punctures. Female.—Tarsi slender. Anal segment plurisetose each side. This species extends from the Atlantic region to the Pacific by the northern line. In the eastern region it does not appear to extend further south than North Carolina. D. atriceps Lec.—Pale yellowish testaceous, head nearly black. Head smooth. Thorax trapezoidal, as long as wide, slightly narrowed behind, sides feebly arcuate in front and very narrowly margined, hind angles obtuse, median line rather deeply impressed, surface smooth. Elytra broader behind, humeri AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 133 rounded, surface very obsoletely striate at middle, smooth externally. Body beneath smooth, shining. Length .16 inch; 4 mm. The two specimens [ have seen seem to be females, the anal segment is bisetose each side. The specimen in the cabinet of Dr. LeConte has a transverse dark fascia the anterior border of which is in front of the middle of the elytra and straight, the posterior border is concave so that the fascia is twice as broad at the lateral margin as at the suture. Occurs in Georgia and Louisiana. Seems to be closely related to D. sigma of Europe. APRISTUS Chaud. A genus composed of small black species differing from all our Dromiide genera by the simple, slender claws. The mentum is toothed, the ligula small, cordiform and quadrisetose in front, completely sur- rounded by its paraglossee. ‘The thorax is truncate at base. The species occuring in our fauna are as follows: Elytral strize deeply impressed, those at the sides more feebly. Thorax a little wider than long. Hind angles of thorax acute, slightly prominent, the lateral margin a little broader and more reflexed posteriorly. Median line of thorax deep and reaching the basal margin.

As the essential characters of the three species are rather fully given in the table the following short notes will supply what is con- sidered necessary. A. cordicollis Lec.—This species is larger than subsulcatus, the elytra flatter and the intervals decidedly more convex. The surface color is black with a slight tinge of blue. Length .14—.16 inch; 3.5—4 mm. Male.—Three joints of anterior tarsi distinctly dilated and densely biseriately squamulose beneath. Anal segment with one seta each side. Female.—Tarsi slender. Anal segment with one seta each side. Occurs in the Middle States and Canada. A. subsuleatus Dej.—The surface color is piceous rather than black with a tendency in the elytra to become brown. The thorax has the sides less arcuate in front, less sinuate behind and is consequently less cordiform than in the pre- ceding species. Length .12—.14 inch; 3—3.5 mm. Occurs from Canada to Texas and New Mexico. (34) 134 GEO. H. HORN, M.D. A. laticollis Lec.—The surface is slightly bronzed but much more shining than in either of those which precede. The thorax is rather wider, the strie less deep and those at the side almost entirely obliterated. Length .12 inch; 3 mm. Occurs in Oregon, California and Arizona. BLECHRUS Motsch. This genus is composed of a small number of black shining species differing from the allied genera either by the slightly lobed base of thorax, the mentum not toothed or the claws serrate. The ligula proper is small and bisetose at tip, the paraglossee rather wide and completely surrounding the ligula. In examining the illustrations of the mouth parts (Trans. Am. Ent. Soe. ix, pl. viii, figs. 86, 87, 88, 89, 90), it will be observed that Blechrus and Axinopalpus have the ligula bisetose in front, Apristus and Metabletus quadrisetose and Dromius sexsetose. The species of Blechrus are as follows: Thorax very distinctly wider than long, broadest about one-third from apex. Elytra faintly substriate at middle................ pissnesenteses oes. MIgrvimnus Mann. Thorax not wider than long, widest immediately behind the apex. Elytra almost smooth. Elytra longer than head and thorax, sides nearly parallel....... lucidus Lec. Elytra not longer, sides distinctly arcuate............00rssseeseee coceevees pusio Lec. B. nigrinus Mann. - Form moderately elongate, depressed, black, shining. Head microscopically alutaceous. Thorax about one-fourth wider than long, sides moderately arcuate in front, slightly sinuate posteriorly, the hind angles rectangular, dise moderately convex, the median line deeply impressed but not entire, the surface very finely transversely strigose. Elytra oblong, nearly parallel, one-third longer than the head and thorax, dise obsoletely striate near the suture, smooth at the sides. Body beneath smooth shining. Legs black. Length .12— .14 inch; 3—3.5 mm. Male.—Anterior tarsi with three joints feebly dilated, indistinctly lamellate beneath. Anal segment with one puncture each side. Female. Tarsi slender, anal segment with one puncture each side. This species has a distribution from New York to California by the northern line through Canada, the larger specimens occurring in Vancouver. It will be observed in many specimens that, owing to the thinness of the elytra and their disposition to curl, the. form is apparently more elongate. From a comparison under the microscope I can see no differences between the forms from California and those from Lake Superior. B. lucidus Lec.—Form and color of nigrinus, differing only as follows: Thorax as long as wide, widest immediately behind the apical angles, hind angles small not prominent. LElytra parallel, nearly without any traces of strie, the surface microscopically transversely strigose. Length .10-—.12 inch; 2.5—-3 mm. Sexual characters as in nigrinus. Occurs in Kansas, Nevada, Oregon and California. AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 135 B. pusio Lec.—Smaller than ducidus with the thorax more narrowed at base and the hind angles less distinct. The elytra are not longer than the head and thorax, the sides distinctly arcuate. The median line of thorax is also much less impressed. Length .08 inch; 2 mm. This is the smallest member of the truncatipenne series in our fauna. Occurs from Ohio to Texas. METABLETUS Schmidt-Goebel. This genus contains in our fauna but one species. The thorax is slightly lobed at base, the-mentum with a small emarginate togth, the claws serrate. The ligula is moderately prominent, elongate-oval, with five short setze in front and four at the tip, the intermediate two short the outer two long. The paraglossee are broad, a little longer than the ligula but closely united with it, obtuse at tip and not passing in front of the ligula. M. americanus Dej.—Black, shining, with an extremely faint sneous tinge. Head smooth, shining. Thorax a little less than twice as wide as long, sides arcuate in front, slightly sinuate posteriorly, hind angles distinct, not prominent, margin very narrow, dise slightly convex. median line rather deeply impressed, not entire, surface smooth, shining, slightly opaque along the base. Elytra oval, scarcely wider posteriorly, apex distinctly truncate, dise very vaguely substriate, two dorsal punctures very faint. Body beneath almost entirely smooth. Length .10—.12 inch; 2.5—3 mm. Male.—Anterior tarsi with three joints moderately dilated and feebly biseriately lamellate beneath. Anal segment entire with one seta each side. . \ . Female.—Tarsi slender. Anal segment as in male. This species bears considerable resemblance to Alechrus nigrinus but the generic characters readily distinguish it. I do not find that M. borealis Zimm. differs essentially from americanus. This insect is found from Vermont to British Columbia and northward to Hudson’s Bay Territory. AXINOPALPUS Lec. Mentum emarginate, distinctly toothed. Ligula (proper) triangular, bisetose at apex, the paraglossee narrow and bordering it in front, the palpi rather thick the last joint oval subsecuriform, the maxillary palpi slender and long, the terminal joint cylindrical and acutely prolonged at tip. Thorax truncate at base. ‘Tarsal claws distinctly serrate in biplagiatus or very indistinctly in fusciceps. It will be observed that this genus differs in many important particulars from each of the Dromiide genera which precede and from all of them collectively: by the form of the palpi. The ungues have been called simple in fusciceps but an examination shows the base of each claw to have rarely more than one serration while in. b¢plagiatus there are two or three. 136 GEO. H. HORN, M.D. Two species occur in our fauna. Piceous, elytra with an oblique testaceous stripe from the humeri. biplagiatus Dej. Moestaceous ead PICCOUs st ccs.kscceseesececivencceasioncesesenieseces mecieeacen ese fusciceps Lec. A. biplagiatus De).—Piceous, shining. Antenne, legs and oblique stripe of elytra pale. Head very finely alutaceous. Thorax less than twice as wide as long, slightly cordate, sides arcuate, sinuate near the hind angles which are rectangular but not prominent, dise slightly convex, median line distinctly. impressed and entire, surface smooth. Elytra flat, oval, a little broader behind, apex truncate, dise obsoletely striate at middle; the oblique pale vitta starts from the humerus toward the suture and extends parallel with the latter beyond the middle. Body beneath smooth, shining. Length .12 inch; 3 mm. Male.—Anterior tarsi with three joints slightly dilated, feebly lamellate beneath. Anal segment slightly notched at middle, a single seta each side. Female. —Tarsi slender. Anal segment entire, one seta each side. I fully agree with Dr. LeConte in uniting californicus with this species. It affords another instance of the transcontinental distribution of a species along our northern border. Occurs from the New England States to California. A. fuseiceps Lec.—Yellowish testaceous, head piceous or nearly black. Head finely alutaceous. Thorax about one-half wider than long, slightly nar- rowed at base, sides moderately arcuate, somewhat sinuate in front of the hind angles which are rectangular and slightly prominent, dise moderately convex, median line impressed nearly entire, the subapical and antebasal transverse impressions distinct, surface smooth. Elytra oval, a little wider behind, dise slightly convex, vaguely substriate, more distinctly near the suture. Body be- neath smooth, shining. Length .12 inch; 3 mm. Sexual characters as above. As biplagiatus follows a complete line of transcontinental distribution so this occurs over a shorter line extending from Texas to southern California, following the line which Dr. LeConte has already noticed for so many species which occur in the Peninsula of California. TECNOPHILUS Chaud. The species referred to this genus were in times past placed in Philotecnus until removed by Chaudoir, (Bull. Mose. 1877, i, p. 240). The latter genus is said to be identical with Cymindoidea. In the present essay I will not attempt to determine the value of the new genus created for our species and will merely state that as far as a comparison with our genera is concerned it is undoubtedly valid. The characters of the genus have already been referred to in the preceding volume of these Transactions and sufficiently detailed figures given of the mouth parts. There is no need, therefore, of repeating here except to call attention to the fact that it is one of the few genera of the tribe in our fauna with simple ungues. - AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. oy There are five species recognized by Chaudoir, one of them pro- visional. In order that the student may be in possession of the data on which Chaudoir bases his recognition of these species the following facts are presented. T. nigricollis Lee., one specimen presented by Dr. LeConte. T. Pilatet Chd., one specimen said to be from Texas. T. ruficollis Lec., no type from the author; two other specimens which seem to differ a little from the description and cause Chaudoir to suggest provisionally the name T. glabripennis Chad. T. croceicollis Mén., not seen at all by Chaudoir. From the above it will be seen that from four specimens two of which belong to one species, enough has been learned to admit the validity of four species and to suggest the possibility of a fifth. My own cabinet, with that of Dr. LeConte, contains eighteen speci- mens. I have examined about half as many more from other cabinets and have become convinced that there is but one species variable princi- pally in color. The study in detail is as follows: — Var. Pilatei Chd.—Head and thorax above and beneath red, also the meso- and metasternum, legs and antennz. Elytra bright blue or greenish-blue, abdomen piceous. This form has the thorax a little less - arcuate on the sides. Var. ruficollis Lec.—Head and thorax above and beneath red. Antennz brownish. Meso- and metasternum at middle reddish at sides piceous, abdomen piceous. Legs piceous, brownish-red at base of femora. Var. croceicollis Mén.—Colored as in rujicollis except that the head becomes brown deepening in color to piceous. The metasternum entirely piceous. Legs piceous. Var. ———— Colored as in croceicollis with the thorax becoming gradually browner. Var. nigricollis Lee.—In this variety the elytra are of a deep violet- blue, the change from the brilliant blue observed in Pilatei having progressed gradually from that variety to the present. Here the head and thorax above and beneath and the under side of the body, legs and antenne are piceous becoming shining black. Var. glabripennis Chaud.—This name was suggested for two speci- mens of ruficollis from which the fine pubescence of the elytra had been removed. TRANS. AMER. ENT. SOC. X. (35) august, 1882. 138 GEO. H. HORN, M. D. In my opinion but one species exists in our fauna : T. croceicollis Ménet.—Length .24—.32 inch; 6—8 mm. Male.—The anterior tarsi are slightly dilated the first three joints biseriately lamellate beneath. The middle tarsi are scarcely at all dilated and with traces of lamelle on the second and third joints only. The anal segment has one seta each side. Female.—Tarsi slender hairy beneath. Anal segment with two sete each side. Occurs on the Pacific coast from San Diego to Oregon, thence east- ward to Montana, Utah and possibly Texas. EUPROCTUS OSolier. a Mentum emarginate, without tooth, epilobes not prominent. Ligula corneous, cuneiform, truncate and quadrisetose at apex, paraglossee membranous, prolonged across the*front of the ligula and ciliate, palpi with terminal joint somewhat triangular. Maxillary palpi with last joint as in the labial. Labrum transverse, not emarginate in front. Mandibles with distinct scrobe externally. Antennz with the first three and the base of the fourth joint glabrous. Head gradually narrowed behind the eyes to a neck. Thorax truncate at base, slightly oblique near the hind angles which are slightly reflexed. Tarsi slightly flattened above, somewhat pubescent, the first joint of the posterior not as long as the next three, fourth joint on all the feet deeply bilobed. Ungues pectinate. Notwithstanding that Chaudoir places Huproctus in the Callidides and Tecnophilus in an uncharacterized group Mimodromiides, there does not seem any valid reason for separating them very remotely. One species occurs in our fauna. Eu. trivittatus Lec. (Onota).—Bright rufo-testaceous, elytra with a common sutural vitta expanded slightly at middle and a submarginal band extending along the apex to the suture, piceous. Length .20 inch; 5 mm. Male.—Anterior tarsi feebly dilated, the first three joints biseriately lamellate- papillose, the fourth pubescent. Anal segment with one seta each side. Female.—Tarsi pubescent beneath. Anal segment bisetose each side. Collected by Mr. A. Bolter in Florida, at Fort Capron. CALLIDA Dej. This genus is one of the largest in the truncatipenne series, Chaudoir recognizing very nearly one hundred species after separating a number of genera of very doubtful value. The species in our fauna, although not numerous, have not escaped division and the two genera are separated by characters which seem to have very feeble value and are as follows: CaLLIpDA.—Tarsi with a median groove on the upper side more or less apparent. In the male the anterior tarsi are always, the middle very often dilated, the joints beneath biseriately lamellate-papillose, in the middle tarsi the lamellze are always wanting on the first joint, and sometimes on all the joints. SponcoLopa.—Tarsi neither sulcate nor impressed. In the male AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 139 the first three joints of the anterior tarsi are lamellate-papillose, the middle tarsi with the first joint, sometimes the second also biseriately lamellate, third joint spongy. Chaudoir further adds concerning the species of the latter genus, “These species which seem to me should not remain in the genus Callida for the reasons above given and because their facies-is quite different, appear to make the transition to the genus Philophyga, of which they have somewhat the form, being however more elongated.” It needs only to be stated that C. decora is for Chaudoir a Callida and C. punctata a Spongoloba to convince the majority of American students that any great difference of facies does not exist. Our species are not numerous and may be separated in the following manner : Upper side of tarsi flattened and more or less distinctly suleate or impressed. Body above uniformly colored.

In addition to the above C. Aas Dej., a Cuban species is said by Chaudoir to occur in our fauna. We have never seen any native specimens. ©. platynoides n. sp.—Form moderately elongate, piceo-testaceous or eastaneous, head and thorax somewhat paler than the elytra, shining without trace of metallic surface lustre. Head very sparsely punctulate, front on each side impressed, exteriorly to which the surface is longitudinally wrinkled. Antenne brownish. Thorax as broad as long, widest in front of middle, sides arcuate in front, feebly sinuate posteriorly the angles rectangular, lateral margin rather wide and slightly reflexed, dise slightly convex, median line distinctly impressed, surface feebly transversely wrinkled and with few punctures along the apical margin, the sides and median line. Elytra oblong, subparallel, strize finely impressed, indistinctly punctulate, intervals nearly flat finely sparsely punctulate. Dorsal punctures on the third interval, the anterior slightly in front of the middle, the posterior at apical third. Body beneath nearly smooth, a few punctures at the sides of the metasternum. Length .42—.50 inch; 10.5—12.5 mm. Ma/le.—Anterior tarsi moderately dilated the first three joints biseriately squamu- lose beneath, the fourth joint nearly naked. Middle tarsi with first joint hairy, second and third biseriately squamulose, fourth nearly naked. Anal segment with one setigerous puncture each side. 140 GEO. H. HORN, M. D. Female.—The anterior and middle tarsi are nearly as widely dilated as the male, the first three joints hairy beneath, the fourth less hairy. Anal segment each side bipunctate. This is the largest species in our fauna and the only one without any trace of metallic surface lustre. The general appearance at first sight recalls the bicolor variety of Platynus brunneomarginatus or Pinacodera platicollis. It is probably closely allied to C. brunnea Dej., from the vicinity of the City of Mexico, the female is however described as having the tarsi spongy beneath. Occurs in the mountains east of Visalia, California, also in south- western Utah. It is remarkable that California should furnish two brownish species in adjacent genera in which all the other species are more or less metallic. Cc. planulata Lec.—Form moderately elongate, piceous, elytra with cupreo- violaceous surface lustre, the sides slightly greenish. Head smooth, front vaguely impressed each side. Antennee brownish. Thorax about as wide as long, broadest at middle the sides arcuate, very slightly sinuate in front of the hind angles which are rectangular, lateral margin slightly reflexed, very narrow in front, gradually wider posteriorly, dise slightly convex, the median line broadly and deeply impressed, surface slightly wrinkled latérally and with a few punctures at apex, along the median line and at the sides. Elytra oblong-oval, rather deeply striate, the striee very finely punctured, intervals convex and with very few punctures. Dorsal punctures as in the preceding species. Body beneath piceous, shining and nearly smooth. Length .44 inch; 11 mm. Male.—Unknown. Female.—Anterior tarsi slightly dilated, the first four joints spongy beneath. Middle tarsi less dilated, first joint hairy the next three spongy. Anal segment with four punctures each side. I have seen but one specimen, that described by Dr. LeConte from the Berlandiere collection the localities of which are not accurately stated. The specimen may have been taken in Mexico or Texas. Chaudoir (Annales Belg. 1872, p. 120), describes C. metallescens from Vera Cruz, Mexico, which may be identical with planulata. C. viridipennis Say.—Form elongate, color bright bluish-green, elytra usually margined with cupreous. Antenne piceous, three basal joints paler. Legs piceous. Vertex smooth, front impressed each side and rugulose. Thorax a little longer than wide, sides very feebly arcuate, widest a little in front of middle, margin narrow, a little wider posteriorly, hind angles rectangular not prominent, dise moderately convex, median line impressed, a little deeper pos- teriorly, surface very sparsely punctulate and obsoletely wrinkled. Elytra oblong, the sides very feebly arcuate, dise striate, the strise very finely punctulate, inter- vals slightly convex, obsoletely sparsely punctulate. Body beneath piceous with slight metallic lustre, surface nearly smooth. Length .36—.40 inch; 9—10 mm. Male.—Anterior tarsi moderately dilated, the first three joints biseriately lamel- late beneath, the fourth joint spongy. Middle tarsi less dilated, similarly clothed. Anal segment with one puncture each side. AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 141 Female.—Anterior and middle tarsi less dilated than in the male, the first three joints pubescent, the fourth somewhat spongy. Anal segment bisetose each side. Occurs in the Gulf States from Florida to Texas. C. decora .Fab.—Form slender, body beneath bicolored, above, head and thorax green or blue, thorax yellowish-red. Legs yellow, the tips of the femora and tarsi piceous. Antenne piceous, three.or four basal joints testaceous. Head smooth, front arcuately impressed each side and slightly rugose. Thorax as broad or a little broader than long, widest in front of middle, sides arcuate in front, slightly sinuate posteriorly, the angles rectangular sometimes slightly prominent, lateral margin narrow, equal from base to apex, narrowly reflexed, disc moderately convex, median line impressed, surface nearly smooth, a few punctures along the apical and lateral margins. Elytra oblong, sides feebly arcuate, strie very fine and finely punctured, intervals very flat and finely sparsely punctulate, dorsal punctures as in planulata. Body beneath smooth, the head and abdomen piceous, the remainder of the body yellowish-red. Length .28—.34 inch; 7—8.5 mm. Male.—The first three joints of the anterior tarsi are biseriately lamellate be- neath, the fourth somewhat spongy, the middle tarsi with first joint setose, second and third lamellate, fourth spongy. Anal segment bipunctate each side. Femate.—Anterior and middle tarsi more slender than the male and pubescent beneath. Anal segment trisetose each side. This species closely resembles punctata but has a wider thorax with a more distinct margin. The impressed tarsi will also distinguish the present species. As synonyms of this species I place cordicollis Putz. described from Mexico and cyanoptera Lec. from Texas, these two are certainly the same and differ from decora merely in having the elytra more blue. Occurs in the Gulf States and Mexico. Cc. punctata Lec.—Form slender, colored as in decora. Head and antennse as in decora. Thorax not longer than the head, a little longer than wide, widest a little in front of middle, sides arcuate, slightly sinuate posteriorly, the hind angles obtuse, lateral margin extremely narrow, disc convex, median line dis- tinctly impressed, surface transversely wrinkled, a few punctures near the apex. Elytra oblong gradually broader posteriorly, surface finely striate, strize punctate, intervals flat, obsoletely sparsely punctate. Body beneath and legs as in decora. Length .28—.30 inch; 7—7.5 mm. Male.—Anterior tarsi dilated, first three joints biseriately squamulose beneath, the fourth nearly naked, middle tarsi less dilated the first joint hairy beneath, second and third squamulose, fourth spongy. Anal segment bisetose each side. Female.—Tarsi less dilated than in the male, with stiff hairs beneath. Anal segment bipunctate each side. This species closely resembles decora but the thorax is much narrower and the margin extremely narrow. I see no reason why Chaudoir pre- ferred to compare it with smaragdina (= purpurea). Occurs in Michigan, Ohio, Louisiana and Kansas. C. fulgida Dej.—Form moderately elongate, color bright metallic greenish- blue. Antenne piceous, first three joints and the basal half of the fourth testa- ceous. Head nearly smooth, front with a vague impression each side and slightly (36) 142 GEO. H. HORN, M.D. wrinkled. Thorax a little longer than wide, widest at middle, base a little nar- rower than apex, sides moderately arcuate, very feebly sinuate in front of the hind angles which are obtuse, almost rounded, margin very narrow, dise slightly convex, median line moderately deeply impressed, surface obsoletely transversely wrinkled, a few obsolete punctures along the apical margin arfd sides. Elytra oblong, slightly wider posteriorly, longer than the head and thorax, strisze moder- ately deep, finely punctulate, intervals slightly convex, sparsely obsoletely punctu- late. Body beneath blue, smooth, shining. Length .82—.40 inch; 8—10 mm. Sexual characters as in punctata except that the anal segment of the female is tripunctate. This species has some resemblance to viridipennis but is more brightly colored, has a more narrowly margined thorax and with the base not impressed above. : Occurs in Georgia and Florida. C. purpurea Say.—Form more robust, as in Philophuga ameena, color deep blue or violet varying to green, moderately shining. Antenne as in fulgida. Head sparsely punctulate, front vaguely impressed each side and rugulose. Thorax as broad as long, base and apex equal, sides arcuate, a very feeble sinua- tion in front of the hind angles which are obtuse, margin narrow, a little wider posteriorly, dise moderately convex, median line impressed, surface transversely wrinkled especially near the sides, a few punctures along the apical margin. Elytra oval, slightly oblong, scarcely longer than the head and thorax, a little wider posteriorly, sides moderately arcuate, disc finely striate, strie punctured, intervals flat or very slightly convex near the base, sparsely obsoletely punctulate. Body beneath smooth, shining. Length .80—.36 inch; 7.5—9 mm. Sexual characters as in fulgida. For what reason Say’s name purpurea has been heretofore applied to a species now referred to the genus Philophuga, I can not understand. In the Trans. Amer. Philos. Soc. 1823, p. 10, Say describes Cymindis purpurea immediately after viridipennis, and of both he says, “ penulti- ymate joint of tarsi bilobate,’ and in comparing the two species says, “in form and magnitude resembles C. viridipennis but is more depressed and wider.’ I think there can be no doubt that this species is the true purpurea. .It greatly resembles Philophuga amena in external appearance, but the latter has the fourth tarsal joint emarginate and not bilobed. Occurs in Michigan, Georgia, Missouri and Kansas. The specimens from the latter region are darker blue in color, and I at one time referred to them as a probable new species; they do not differ otherwise. PHILOPHUGA Motsch. This genus contains those species in our fauna formerly placed in Glycia. It is very closely related to Callida and differs in having the fourth tarsal joint emarginate, not bilobed. An examination of the ligula does not show any reason why Philophuga should be remotely separated AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 143 from Callida. In the dissections which I have made and figured (Trans. Am. Ent. Soe. ix, pl. viii, figs. 98, 94, 95), there will not be found any remarkable differences between these genera and no reason is apparent why Chaudoir should not have included the present genus in his Callidides. It is however treated apart (Bull. Mose. 1877, i, p. 243), with no sug- gestions as to its position, being simply compared with Tecnophilus with which it has far less in common than Callida or Plochionus. The species at present known are distinguished as follows: Body winged, elytra very little narrowed at base. Color blue or green.

Mr. Chambers’s type of Luverna quinguecristatella in Mr. Goodell’s collection proves that this name must give place to that which accom- panies Dr. Clemens’s prior description of the same species. I think I ean detect very short maxillary palpi not mentioned by Dr. Clemens. Walshia amorphella, Clem., as noticed below, has also been placed by Mr. Chambers in the genus Luverna, to which it undoubtedly has the appearance of being allied. Genus WALSHIA. 977. Walshia amorphella, Clem. Proc. Ent. Soe. Phil. ii. p. 419. Laverna miscecolorelia, Cham. Can. Ent. vii. p. 51. This type of L. m/scecolorella, received from Mr. Chambers, and pre- served in the collection of the Peabody Academy of Sciences at Salem, _ agrees with my examples of Wudlshia compared with Clemens’s type at Philadelphia in 1872. Genus SCH RECKENSTEINIA. 827, 828. Sehreckensteinia festaliella, Hub. (Wocke, Cat. 2705). This generic name adopted in Wocke’s Catalogue should probably take precedence of Chryscorys, under which name, following Dr. Jordan and Mr. Stainton, I referred this species to the Pterophoridee (Pter. Cal. & Or pp. 1, 2). Its larval habits, especially in the formation of an open network cocoon before pupation, give rise to considerable doubt whether it can rightly be included in that family. Mr. Chambers places his beautiful Lithariapteryx abronizxella among the Glyphipterygidze, but it agrees in neuration and in the form of the wings almost exactly with Schrechkenstetuia. Their oral parts are also very nearly similar. In having no maxillary palpi it would appear to approach the subfamily of Klachistina rather than the Glyphiptery- gina. Genus COSMOPTERYX. 228, 229. Cosmopteryx fernaldella, sp. nov. There are two specimens of a new species of Cosmopteryx in Prof. Fernald’s collection, for which I propose the above name. This is a most interesting species, very closely allied to the European Cosmopteryx lienigiella, Gell. (Wocke. Cat. 2709), differing from it ia the following particulars. The upper median streak before the first fascia is short and (50) 198 LORD WALSINGHAM. disconnected, not continued to the base of the wing. The apical streak is rather more slender, and the black spot on the saffron-yellow space between the golden bands is decidedly elongate, whereas in /ien/giella it is not longer than its width. It would be interesting to learn whether any species of Arundo grows where these specimens were taken. Its larvee may possibly be found to have similar habits to those of Mienigiella, which mine the leaves of Arundv phragmites in August and September. Postponing for the present a more detailed description, I have named it after my friend Professor C. H. Fernald, to whom I am greatly indebted in my studies of North American Tineidze and Tortricidze, and whose labors upon the latter of these two families promise to yield valuable re- sults. 1189. Cosmopteryx lespedezzx, sp. nov. This is a beautiful new Cosmopteryx in Prof. Riley’s collection, labelled ““Cosmopteryx on Lespedeza, Boll.” Nearly allied to C. e/e- mensella, Stn., and possibly to C. montisedlu, Cham.; differing from clemensella in having the outer margin of the dark basal portion of the wing more oblique, the two middle silver streaklets preceding the orange band rather longer, and especially in the annulation of the antenna. C. clemensella has a broad white band about ;25 of an inch wide at the commencement of the outer third of the antennze, preceded and _ fol- lowed by equally wide dark bands, the apex being widely white. The species now before me has the wide dark band before the white apex; but this is preceded by a very narrow white band, which in its turn is preceded by an equally narrow dark one. In other respects it closely resembles C. clemensella, the orange band being pale as in this species. C. montisedla is described as having a dorsal and an apical streak beyond the orange fascia; this species has only an apical. Genus BATRACHEDRA. 1229, 1230. Batrachedra rileyi, sp. nov.—Bred from rotten cotton-bolls. Head chestnut-brown; palpi widely divergent, whitish, with an oblique pale brown mark on each side near the end of the second joint; and two or three brownish spots on the sides of the apical joint. Antenne with white and fuscous annulations: the basal joint elongate, chestnut brown. Fore wings chestnut- brown, slightly shaded with fuscous towards the costal margin; a whitish ochre- ous streak at the base of the dorsal margin, followed by two or three other smaller ones along the dorsal margin (in some specimens these are obsolete); above the dorsal margin are two oblique whitish ochreous streaks, the first before the mid- dle, the second before the anal angle. A similar streak from the costal margin immediately before the apex is outwardly margined by a streak of black scales, the apex and apical margin being also black; there is also a faint fuscous streak running downwards through the cilia below the apex. On the cell are two elon- : AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 199 gate patches of black scales, one immediately before the middle of the wing, the other halfway between this and the base. Fringes grey, with a slight yellowish tinge. Hind wings pale greyish. Hind tibiz greyish white, outwardly fuscous; hind tarsi whitish, with a wide fuscous band followed by two fuscous spots on their outer sides. Expanse 11 millim. This is a most interesting species, nearly allied to Batrachedra leder- eriella, Gell., which Monsieur Milliére has bred from larvee, feeding in the webs of the gregarious larvee of Liparis chrysorrhea, Lin. I have also bred it from among old webs of other larvee and of spiders on branches of different species of A/imosa and other shrubs, also from old galls on Pistachia terebinthus and a species of Cornus (?) in the south of France, these galls containing numerous webs of spiders. I have found larvee of Batrachedra preangusta among the cotton-like seeds of sallow (Salix capreza), and in one instance in a goldfinch’s nest lined with that substance. The habitat of the larva of this new species is particularly interesting, confirming these observations as to the substances chosen for food by the known species of this genus. It would be desir- able to ascertain whether the larva of Batrachedra salicipomonella, Clem., bred from gails on Salix cordata by the late Mr. B. D. Walsh and Dr. Clemens, finds any similar source of nutriment in or among the galls which it frequents. Genus IDIOSTOMA, Wlsm. 445. Idiostoma americella, sp. nov. Antenne pale straw-color. Labial palpi straw-white, widely diverg- ing, the apical joint as long as the very slightly stouter second joint. Maxillary palpi clothed with long, straight, straw-white hairs, projecting downwards. In the Proc. Ent. Soc. London, 1881, p, 273, pl. xiii. f. 42, I described this genus, from a single South-African specimen, under the name of J/og/ossa, as having tufts of hair-like scales at the base of the tongue; but I was then in some doubt as to the true position of these tufts. There is no doubt as to the present species being congeneric with the African one; but the tufts belong undoubtedly to the maxillary palpi, the joints of which they conceal. ‘Having only a single specimen, IT am again precluded from dissecting it ; but the original generic descrip- tion must be amended in this particular, and the name, which is mis- leading, must be changed. The specimen in the collection of the American Ent. Soc. Philadelphia is much worn; but the genus is completely distinct from all other known genera, and is easily recog- nizable at a glance by the ornamentation of the hind wings. Since this specimen has been sent back to America, | have received, through the kindness of Mons. E. Ragonot, a beautiful example, collected in Texas 200 LORD WALSINGHAM. by the late Mr. Boll, which has enabled me to amend the description. Fore wings straight, narrow and sharply pointed, straw-colored ; an ob- lique brownish streak or fascia about the basal third of the wing, nearer to the base on the dorsal than on the costal margin, sending a point of seales of the same color outwards along the middle of the cell, with silvery metallic scales before it towards the base, above it towards the costa, and beyond it along the dorsal margin, some of which have a lilac iridescent lustre ; a brownish streak from the commencement of the cos- tal cilia, tending obliquely outwards to the dorsal margin, internally mar- gined with bright silvery scales, above and below which are brownish- fuscous streaks through the cilia; the extreme apex is silvery. The hind wings, which are narrower than the fore wings, are pale straw- colored, straight and sharply pointed, showing three distinct silvery fascize, the outer one being the narrowest of the three; these are mar- gined on both sides by brownish submetallic scales; beyond the outer fascia is a bronzy brown shade, the cilia above and beneath it, and at the extreme apex, being darkened in contrast to the remainder, which are very pale straw-white; legs very pale straw-color; abdomen straw-col- ored, barred with silvery. On the dorsal margin of the fore wings are two groups of dark projecting scales, one before and one beyond the middle, and there is a similar group before the middle of the hind wings. Expanse 10 millim. One specimen in the collection of the Am. Ent. Soc. Philadelphia. Genus ELACHISTA. 1076. Elachista? metallifera, sp. nov.—Head, palpi, thorax, and base of the fore wings silvery grey. Antennze somewhat darker, marked on their outer half above by six dilute silvery grey spots, including the extreme apex as one of the six. Head smooth; palpi depressed, the apical joint slightly upturned. Fore wings shining dark brown, witha slightly oblique golden fascia before the middle, wider and nearer to the base on the costal than on the dorsal margin; on its outer margin below the fold a tuft of raised brown seales; beyond the middle is a second golden fascia, wider and nearer to the base on the dorsal than on the costal margin; on its outer edge a tuft of raised brown scales; a silvery shining costal spot before the apex, and a larger opposite dorsal one with a beautiful blue and purple iridesence; the points of the brown apical cilia are whitish. Dorsal cilia and hind wings with their cilia brownish grey. The legs brown, with con- spicuous shining white bands and tarsal spots. Apparently allied to £. madarella, Clem., but with a different arrangement of markings. Expanse 5 millim. One specimen in Mr. Goodell’s collection. I place this provisionally in the genus H/achista, from which it differs only in the possession of raised tufts of scales, so far as can be ascer- tained without denuding the wings. Hlachista bicristatella, Cham. Cin. Soc. Nat. Hist. vol. ii. p. 187, has the same peculiarity. AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 201 Genus AES YLE. 889. AEsyle fasciella. syle fasciella, Cham. Cin. Quart. Journ.

Can. Ent. xi. p. 118, ix. p. 194. ? Gracilaria (Coriscium) quinquenotella, Cham. Can. Ent. ix. p. 124. Mr. Chambers first described this species under the new generic name Aisyle, and drew attention to its great similarity to Lithocolletis, except in the neuration of the hind wings (Cin. Quart. Journ. Sci. ii. p. 98) ; subsequently (Can. Ent. ix. p. 194) he suggested that this species, which he found had also been described by him under the name “Gra- cilaria 5-notella,” might possibly be the Gracilaria fulgidella of Clem- ens. I think this is not improbable, having regard to Dr. Clemens'’s descrip- tion of G. fulyidella, and to my brief note on Clemens’s type made in 1872 :—“Surely not a Graciluria ? a small species.” The species de- scribed by Mr. Chambers has not the antennz of a Gracilaria, these being shorter than the anterior wings in the specimen before’ me. It was probably this same character which led me to doubt Clemens’s speci- men being a true Gracilaria, except in the form of the palpi. It ap- pears to me to be more nearly allied to Lithocolletis than to Gracilaria, but I have not examined the neuration. Mr. Chambers’s figure of the hind wings (Journ. Cin. Soc. Nat. Hist. p. 203, fig. 34) certainly shows some slight divergence from those of that genus. In the collection of the Peabody Academy of Sciences, Salem, Mass., are specimens of the two extreme varieties referred to by Mr. Chambers (Can. Ent. ix. p. 194, xi. p. 118). It is difficult to believe that they can be referable to the same species, although he gives apparently good reasons for thinking that they are so. ; Genus LUFHOCOLLETIS. 655, 656. Lithocolletis marizeella. Lithocolletis marieella, Cham. Cin. Quart. Journ. Sci. ii. p. 99. Lithocolletis alniella, Cham. “ Index” partim. Lithocolletis trifasciella, Cham. Can. Ent. xi. p. 92. This species approaches very closely to Lithocolletis fralichiella, Zell. (Wocke, 2892), but differs from it in having the first and second trans- verse fascize curved outwards, instead of straight as in the European species. LL. marizella has been bred from Symphoricarpus ; L. fra- lichiella feeds on Alnus. I received a specimen in 1878 from Miss Murtfeldt, labelled “Z. lucidicostella, Clem.; marizella. Cham.” It is quite distinct from /ucidicostella, of which Mr. Stainton writes (Tin. IRANS. AMER. ENT. SOC. X. (51) NOVEMBER, 1882. 202 LORD WALSINGHAM. Nor. Am. p. 66), “allied to heegeriella, Zell., and tenella, Zell., Mr. Chambers in his “ Index” gives marizella as a synonym of L. alniella, Zell., and refers wrongly to Can. Ent. vi. p. 99 for the description. The reference should be Cin. Quart. Journ. Sci. ii. p. 99. The specimens now before me from Miss Murtfeldt’s collection ‘agree with Chambers’s description of JL. marizella, from which L. alni- ella, Zell., is quite distinct, alniella being a grey-colored species, not golden. L. trifasciella, Haw., to which Mr. Chambers subsequently refers his L. murizella, is also distinct from this species, having the dark anterior margins of white transverse fascize much wider and more conspicuous. There is an American specimen of the true J. trifasciella in Prof. Riley’s collection labelled ‘ From leaves of honeysuckle.” Lithocolletis desmodiella. Lithocolletis desmodiella, Clem. Proc. Ac.

Specimens received from Miss Murtfeldt as Lith. gregariella, some in Prof. Fernald’s collection, some in my own, undoubtedly agree with Lith. desmodiella, Clem., from which Miss Murtfeldt was led to believe that they differed in some slight degree when she redescribed this pretty little species. 4).

This specimen in Prof. Fernald’s collection labelled “Lithocolletis crateyella, Clem.,” agrees with two others from Miss Murtfeldt’s collec- tion under the same name. These are undoubtedly our well-known Euro- pean L. pomifoliella. : Clemens writes of his L. crategella, “Antenne, front, and tuft dark silvery grey.” Stainton writes of L. pomifoliella, “head bright saffron- yellow; face and palpi white; antennz white, annulated with fuscous.” I have not been able to detect any differences in these points between American and Kuropean specimens. ‘The faces of those now before me are as white as in Knglish examples, and their heads are tufted with saf- fron above; their antennee are also faintly annulated. Genus TEISCHERIA, 662, 663. Tischeria tinctoriella ? Tischeria tinctoriella, Cham. Cin. Quart. Journ. Sci. ii. pp. 108-111. These specimens are wrongly named in Miss Murtfeldt’s list “Zitho- colletis quercifoliella, Clem.” with a footnote:—‘‘ I think there is a AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 203 mistake about this species somewhere.” Clemens did not describe ‘a Lithocolletis quercifoliella ; he renamed Argyromiges quercifoliella of Fitch, and called it Lithocolletis fitchella. The specimens before me belong to the genus 7%scheria, and are probably the same as those referred to by Chambers under the name 7. tinctorielli. The purple zigzag lines on the nidus of the larval mine, which accompanies these specimens, point to this conclusion. They approach in some respects Clemens’s description of the female of his Tischeria zeleriella, of which Chambers states that, so far as he is able to learn, there is no authentic specimen now extant.” In Mr. Stainton’s edition of Dr. Clemens’s papers this is one of the few species not marked with an asterisk in the Index, thus signifying that it is one of which I did not see the type in the collection of the Entomological Society at Philadelphia in 1872. My notes assure me that this isa mistake. IJ have’ a memorandum, made when the types were examined by me at that time, to the effect that this species (7. zedleriel/a) approaches very closely to 7. citrinipen- nella, from which it seems probable that Clemens’s type specimen still exists and that my observation refers to a male. The American representatives of the genus Tischeria require very careful study before a revision can be attempted. Genus LYONETIA. 599. Lyonetia latistrigella, sp. nov.—Head and palpi white. Antenne, except the white basal joint, bronzy brown. Thorax and fore wings white, with an oblique broad bronzy brown streak from the middle of the dorsal margin, somewhat narrowed where it crosses the fold, thence again dilated, ending in an obtuse point slightly above the middle of the wing at the commencement of the apical fourth; beyond this is a large ferruginous patch, with one dorsal and three costal white streaks, internally margined with bronzy brown, and a large round black apical spot, preceded by some white seales from above and beneath; dorsal cilia of fore wing, abdomen, and hind wings with their cilia all bronzy brown; legs white, touched with brown at the tarsal joints. Expanse 9 millim. One specimen in collection of Am. Ent. Soc. Phil. It is not impossible that this may be a variety of the species described by Dr. Packard as L. nidificansella (Guide, 354), which, as pointed out by Mr. Chambers, is evidently a Lyonetia; but the absence of the cos- tal streaks and other markings alluded to in the description lead me to regard it as a distinct species. Dr. Packard’s species is probably more nearly allied to L. speculed/a, Clem. Genus BUCCULATRIX. 1165. Bueculatrix trifasciella, Bucculatrix trifusciella, Clem. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. v. p. 147; Tin. Nor. Am. p. 272, &e. Bucculatrix obscurofasciella, Cham. Can. Ent. v. p. 150. 204 LORD WALSINGHAM. This specimen in Prof. Riley’s collection, received from Mr. Chambers as his B. obsewrofasciel/a, is equal to specimens of B. trifusciella, Clem., in my collection, which were named in America, probably from Clemens’s type. 1015, 1014.

In the 7th edition of the ‘Guide’ (1880) the name Bb. pomonella, Clem., is substituted for LL. curvitineatella on page 354, although the latter remains in the Index as before. The specimens, before me, belonging to the collection of the Peabody Academy of Sciences, Salem, Mass., are, according to my information, the types of L. curvilineatel/a, Pack. Genus MICROPTERYX 815. Micropteryx auricyanea, sp. nov.—Head and face rough hoary whitish grey. Antennee missing. Fore wings golden bronzy, streaked and dot- ted with brilliant bright blue metallic scales set on purple. The most noticeable of these are a series of spots around the apex and apical margin, an oblique streak from about the middle of the dorsal margin, and some blotches towards the mid- dle of the costa and above the anal angle. Cilia bronzy grey. Hind wings grey- ish towards the base, becoming purple towards the apex; cilia light yellowish grey. Expanse 13 millim. This species is very nearly allied to M. fustuosella, Zell., but differs in the arrangement of the blue spots, which in fustwosedla are much more evenly distributed.

Under the term Heliothinae are grouped a number of genera and species, distinguished by no exclusive or peculiar character, and yet hay- ing a certain facies which enables the student to determine almost at a glance the species of the group. Nor is it quite correct to say that there are no peculiar characters—for a large proportion of them are very pecu- liar in the armature of the fore-tibia, which is distinct from any thing found elsewhere, but is not a feature of ad/ the genera. There may of course be decided structural characters, which the ex- amination usually accorded to Lepidoptera does not and cannot re- veal. Owing to the dense clothing of the insects, and the absolute necessity of destroying a specimen to examine its anatomical structure, no really scientific classification of them has yet been made, and the present synopsis may at a future time, when the species become more common, be entirely superseded, even though the number of our species be not largely increased. In consequence of the well marked structural peculiarities of some members of the group, the study, in the beginning, appeared an easy task. This idea was soon dispelled by the discovery of a certain heterogenity .in those genera with many species. In the progress of the work, while I hope to prove definitely that certain genera are unnecessary, it will be observed that specific synonyms are comparatively few. Before I had advanced very far in my studies it seemed that I would be compelled to choose one of two courses—either multiply genera on small structural differences, or unite all the species in one or two genera with a large number of species in each, creating sections or divisions, and giving them a sub-generic value. Neither of these courses entirely pleased me, and it was not until I had carefully examined all the species and made all the figures, that I finally arranged them and as they stand in the synopsis. It will perhaps be well that I should state exactly what value I have given to the various structural characters. First the eyes: They are all naked in the group, as I understand it (Lep7polys and Anarta being excluded, though Lygr. cupes has a very strong affinity in superficial appearance to the former), often rounded and globose, (52) 206 J. B. SMITH. but in a very large proportion of the species narrow, ovate or reni- form. : Lederer in his Noctuwinen Europas does not seem to be quite consist- ent in the value given to this as well as several other characters, and under the generic term He//othis he grouped species with both narrow and round eyes. The species onon/s is a true He//othis in all but the eyes, and these are decidedly narrowed and ovate, and by the use of this character two exceeding closely allied species are separated; still it was an absolute necessity if this peculiarity has a generic value, and reflection convinced me that it deserves to be so considered. The character is evident, and I have not seen any specimen as yet in which the question was but for an instant doubtful in my mind, whether it had ovate or round eyes. The clypeus and its modifications next required attention, and the greatest possible diversity of clypeal structure occurs in this group. While not prepared to reject the character entirely, I was inclined to give it but small value, inasmuch as in Charicleu (as that term is used by Lederer) there are some species with and others with no clypeal modi- fication. I observed however that in this group there are practically but two main kinds of modification, and the others were modifications of them. Except in one instance, so far as I now recollect, clypeal struc- ture alone has not been relied upon to separate genera; that instance is Heliolonche which differs from Melicliptria only in the flattened shelf- like projection of the front. This I retained as distinct, giving the modi- fication thus far a generic value. The tongue does not vary enough to make discussion of the value of its modifications profitable. The palpi have an almost uniform pattern throughout, and the antennae do not afford a base even for grouping the species. The thorax affords but one character, and that is in the nature of its vestiture. I have here given its variations a generic value, separating species with hairy vestiture from those which have it scaly or mixed. Chariclea is the only genus in which the thoracic vestiture is formed into tufts, and that genus differs in that respect from’ all others here treated of. The neuration of the primaries in this group affords little of generic value. ‘lhe venation is remarkably constant, as shown in Plate VII, fig. 46. In Pippona the accessory cell is wanting, and this peculiarity of venation would sustain the genus even did it have no other peculiarities of structure. AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 207 In Heliothis paradoxus the neuration of the 2 is normal; of the % aberrant. This aberration I have not given a generic value, and have discarded Heliochilus which was based on it. This I have done because the aberration is found in one sex only, the ? being a true Heliothis, and sexual characters should not in my opinion be accorded a generic value ; and also because it is an aberration only, entirely out of harmony with the variations elsewhere faund in the venation of the Noctuidae. The abdomen of the 9 sometimes has the oviduct more or less ex- truded, but no generic value can be attributed to this character for it grades so insensibly from one extreme to the other that it would be a matter of great difficulty if not impossibility to limit a genus thus based. The genitalia of the § I have not examined for the following reasons : first, they can never have a generic value; second, [ did not need them for sub-divisions, and in the third place there were many species of which I have seen the 9 only. The legs and more especially the tibiae have furnished basés for gen- eric divisions. Species with spinose tibiae I have uniformly separated from those not so armed, though there were described in Me/icliptria species with and without this distinction. The anterior tibiae vary very decidedly and I have given the variations a modified generic value. Those species of Melicliptria which have the anterior tibia not abbreviated, and merely terminated with spinules I separate from that genus. It was with that group having the anterior tibiae abbreviated and heavily armed that I had the greatest difficulty, the question being whether the variation had generic value, and if so to what extent. The negative seemed the safer and I have therefore followed that course. Still there is no genus the species of which differ very widely in armature except Shinsu as that term is used by me, and here [ found it impossible to give it any value, because if I had done so, very divergent species (superficial ap- pearance considered) would have come into the same genus and closely allied species would be separated ; the modifications are so gradual also that it would be difficult to limit each genus. Very divergent forms superficially and perhaps structurally have thus been run together into one genus, but the differences are so gradual that I could discover no dividing line between the groups safe enough to base a genus on. The tarsal claws vary somewhat as will be seen by the few figures given. In the two species of Dasyspoudaea they are very strongly dentate. In Helivlonche they are perfectly simple, and in Melicliptria obsoletely toothed. There are variations other than those figured, but 208 J. B. SMITH. I did not particularly note them, because I preferred not to use this character to separate even groups, as it would necessitate the use of a microscope—an instrument which not all students or collectors have. Regarding the arrangement of the species of each genus, and of the sequence of the genera in the appended list it is necessary to say a few words. Species are catalogued in the list as they follow in the synopsis, except in Shinia. In this genus I have arranged them in accordance with * superficial resemblance, retaining however as far as possible the §§ into which the genus is divided in the synopsis. Genera are placed so that those most closely allied are nearest together. The arrangement of the species and genera in Mr. Grote’s various lists is entirely unnatural, and the fact that many species which were not congenerie were placed in the same genus, and that genera so closely allied as Shinta and Lygraunthoecia (sensu Grote) were widely sepa- rated, renders that almost a necessary consequence. Accepting as I do the theory of evolution and of modification by environment, I could not expect and did not attempt to show in a linear series all the relationships of the group—that I leave for a future work, when in a chart I hope to show the affinities of the Noctuidae with the other Lepidoptera, and of the genera with each other. The affinities of the group, as was to be expected, tend in every direc- tion. Accepting Heliothis as the centre, it is preceded by Anartu and followed by Acontia. Pippona, Antaplaga and Aedophron, ally it to Oucullia, Cleophana, and Nycterophaeta. Cirrhophanus ( Chariclea sensu Grote) allies it to Plustw and Basilodes. Chariclea (Pyrrhia Grote) unites it with Nunthia and Orthosia. Cirrhophanus I have omitted from the group, as rather more nearly allied to Plusia. I head the group with Symp/istes which differs from Anarta chiefly in having naked instead of hairy eyes. Of the same shaggy form but with round eyes and a rather more He/iothid appearance is Pseudun- thoecia. Dasyspoudaea is closely allied but differs by the armed tibiae. Triocnemis with narrowed primaries and robust form is followed by Aedophron, which by its clypeal structure and wing form tends strongly to Cleophanu. Pippona has strong affinities in the same direction, but has heavily armed anterior tibiae. From this point Antaplagu, Grotella and perhaps Lpinyctes and Bessula form a spur pointing to some forms of the Plustinue.

Equally close to Helio- this though catalogued after Shinia comes Melaporphyria with its dark colors and ovate eyes, leading readily to Melicliptria with abbreviate and armed fore tibia: between Melic/iptria and Shinia, Heliophana holds a place, bridging the gap between the two through Pseudotamila with scaly vestiture and ovate eyes. Hel/olonche comes next, most nearly related to Melicliptria, followed by Awenus, which is naturally followed by Heliaca, which in turn is very near Annephila. Pseudacontia forms the bridge between the pale more frail forms of Shinia and the genus which it mimics. Derrima is abérrant, having decided affinities with Chariclea pernana, and through it to Pluséa or allies. These relationships I have tried as far as possible to express by cata- loguing—with what success my readers must say. In the course of my work also the question as to what use I should make of Hiibner’s genera presented itself. [ had already expressed myself’ strongly in favor of entirely ignoring Hiibner, not having at that time the experience with other authors that I have had since. I have therefore re-examined the entire subject, have read all that is written on it and have substantially adopted neither of the views heretofore advocated, but have laid out a course, apt to prove repugnant to most, but which I believe to be the one most consonant to justice and rea- son. It has never been determined what is necessary to create a genus ; what, if any, description was needed, and there have been as many courses as there have been authors. In the earlier times generic ideas were widely different from those now held, and characters universally in use now were then unknown. Genera have been even in recent times created by a mere designation of the type, and as Hiibner’s genera and many of Guenée’s and Walk- er's are so imperfectly described, that it is utterly impossible to recognize the genus apart from a comparison with the species placed in it, they all stand on about the same footing and deserve the same treatment. Generic ideas have, as before remarked, changed, and while Hiibner’s and Guenée’s genera may have been perfectly pure in the state of the science at that time, they are now deemed heterogeneous. Yet it must be remembered that all these authors Aad their own idea of what consti- tuted a genus, and this idea can only be gathered from a study of ad/ the species placed by them in the same genus. Unless a genus is expressly limited by description sufficient to identify it, or unless there is one par- ticular species distinctly designated as the type of the genus, every 2 TRANS. AMER. ENT. SOC. X. (53) DECEMBER, 1882. 210 J. B. SMITH. species placed in it by its author must be considered as equally a type, _and the aggregation of these species, distinct though they may be ac- cording to our ideas, is the generic idea of the author as to that particu- lar genus. When in the course of time the genus is divided up and new genera are created, based on some of its species, the original generic name, though it be retained, should not be credited to its originator, because the genus so named in the sense of its author has ceased to exist, and the genus should be credited to the author limiting and de- scribing it. This idea I have followed throughout this paper, and shall continue to follow it until it is shown to be incorrect or unjust, and a// the older works are placed on the same basis. It is, however, perhaps necessary to say that among Hiibner’s works entitled to consideration I do not count the Tentamen. While writing this paper and in the course of my studies on the group I have had before me, all the Huropean genera and most of their species, and [ find that while it is a perfectly easy task to limit the Kuropean genera, the American species, being much more numerous, so gradually diverge that it is a matter of great difficulty to say exactly where the line dividing the genera shall be drawn, and while I believe that the fol- lowing synopsis is accurate and sufficient to define the genera as they are now represented, I am well convinced that species will be found which will eventually close the gap between Heliothis dipsaceus and Shinia Thoreaui, and that all the species must be either placed in one genus, or genera must be so multiplied that there will be only one or two species in each—that is provided there be no new characters discovered upon which genera can be based. Further and particular discussion as to structure will be more in place when speaking of the respective genera. My thanks are due to Messrs. Henry Edwards and B. Neumoegen of New York for the loan of their and many of Mr. Grote’s types, and to all my Brooklyn friends who placed at my disposal their entire collec- tions in which (especially that of Mr. Tepper) there were many of the types.

(Papilio, 1, 19) which seems to have been described from an examina- tion of the type in an unnatural position, which caused Mr. Edwards to mistake the femora for tibiae, and the latter for the tars’. Mr. Edwards type isa %, and from such examination as I have been able to make of the sexual pieces, they agree with what Lederer says of this genus: the tibia are clothed with elongate hair, and the position of the anterior one was such that Mr. Edwards’ error in describing it as very short and furnished with a thickened process terminating in a blunt spine was excusable. In fact it is of ordinary length, and without any armature AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 213 at all; the spines referred to on middle and posterior tibia are the usual spurs. The species (celeris) referred by Mr. Grote to this genus has spinose tibiae, and hairy vestiture and is a Me/icliptria. S. proprius, Henry Edwards, Papilio 1, p. 19 (Zuros), Pl. VIII, fig. 1.—Red- dish brown primaries, with darker usual lines and a zigzag pale line near outer margin: reniform and claviform yellowish; secondaries smoky black; wings be- neath smoky, with reddish brown margins. Expands .73 inch, 20 millim. Habitat.— California (Siskiyou Co. ). To the kindness of Mr. Edwards I owe the opportunity of making an examination of the type. PSEUDANTHOECTA, gen. nov. Eyes naked, small, somewhat oval, hidden in the dense vestiture of the head, which is small and retracted; clypeus bulging without projection : palpi exceeding front, second joint heavily fringed beneath ; tongue mode- rate ; thorax heavy, densely clothed above with long hair, forming a dis- tinct tuft behind collar and another at base; abdomen with lateral tuft- ings toward tip more prominent in the %; ovipositor of 9 lengthily ex- truded ; wings short and narrow ; with depressed costa and scarcely pro- duced apices; fringes elongate; tibiae entirely unarmed. Closely allied to the Junthinea Guen., from which it differs only by the absence of the flattened clypeal projection ; from Oméu it differs in the form of the wings, body and head; from Anaurta myrtiili only in the naked eyes; from Dusyspouduea in the non-spinose tibiae. It is with some hesitation that I have created this genus, but I believe it to be a necessity. It best fits into Janthinea, but lacks the very decided clypeal projections of that genus. To Anarta myrtillé the insect bears a very close resemblance while differing as above specified and in the very salient oviduct of 9; from Lyyranthoecia brevis, its nearest Ameri- can ally, it differs in the unarmed tibia which in brevis are strongly marked, ( Pl. VII, fig. 33) the species is P. tumida, Gr. Bull. BkIn. Ent. Soc. 3, 30 (Lygranthecia), Pl.

Hyes naked, globose ; head moderate, scarcely retracted ; tongue strong; palpi well exceeding front, oblique, terminal joint evident, compressed ; second joint moderately fringed beneath ; thorax very heavy cylindric, with dense long hairy vestiture, forming a somewhat prominent rounded (54) 214 J. B. SMITH. collar, and an indistinct posterior tuft most evident in /ucens ; sides dis- tinctly bounded, giving it a decidedly quadrate appearance from above ; wings proportionately small, primaries with rounded outer margins and unusually long fringes; tibia spinose, anterior scarcely abbreviated, ob- liquely truncate at tip, where it is armed at inner side with a long strong spine-like claw, a shorter spine at outer side and two or three strong spines at outer and a similar number at inner lateral margin ; tarsal claws strongly dentate; abdomen conic, somewhat exceeding secondaries, with a decided basal tuft in ducens which is wanting in Meadir. This genus is separated from He/iothis by the more robust form, shorter primaries, the differently armed anterior tibia, by the strongly dentate tarsal claw and quadrate decidedly bounded thorax. Lucens may be considered the type, and the two species which I place in it are distinguished as follows : Abdomen tufted at base, primaries carmine, with the usual lines silvery white, lucens. Abdomen not tufted; primaries green, with silvery lines and paler blotches, Meadii. D. lIucens, Morr., Proc. Ac. N. Se. Ph., 1875, p. 69 (Heliothis); Grt. Can. Ent. xiv. p. 175 (Tamila), Ta: var. ducuriosa; Pl. VII, fig. 1 and la, tibia and tarsal elaw, and Pl. VIII, fig. 4, wing. Readily distinguished by the carmine primaries crossed by silvery lines as shown in the figure; the tibia differs somewhat from that of the fol- lowing species, as will be seen by a comparison of the figures, and this species has a distinct basal tuft on abdomen—a feature not found in any other species of the group with spinose tibie. With Heliothis this spe- cies could not remain united, the whole appearance of the insect is too entirely different. Habitat.—Nebraska, Montana and Colorado. The specimens from Nebraska appear almost universally of a paler color while equally fresh than those from other sections. Mr. Grote has named the dark variety luxuriosa, in my opinion without sufficient reason. Expands 1 inch, 26-30 millim. D. Meadii, Grt. Buf. Bul. 1 p. 121, pl. 3, fig. 5 (Heliothis) ; Id. 2, p. 35 ( Tam- ila); Pl. VII, figs. 2 and 2a, tibia and tarsal claw, and Pl. VIII, fig. 3, wing. At a glance distinguishable from the preceding by the greenish color of the primaries, though the style of marking is identical and the relation- ship otherwise extremely close; it lacks the abdominal tuft and is some- what slighter than the preceding species. Described as a He/iothis in the “sub-genus” Tamla and placed with nundina in the subsequent lists by Mr. Grote, in which Tamila is given generic rank. With nundina it has AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. aie nothing in common. The wings differ in shape, the armature of' tibia _ varies decidedly, the vestiture is entirely hairy, and the form is so evi- dently different that a reference to the ‘“sub-genus” Heliothis would have been most proper. Expands 1} inch, 28-32 millim. Huabitat.—Colorado, Montana. TRIOCNEMIS, Grt. Papilio 1,77. Tibia Pl. VII, fig. 3. Kyes naked, globose ; head scarcely retracted, large, clypeus bulging ; palpi slightly exceeding the front, heavily fringed-with scales beneath ; tongue strong; thorax heavy with very long dense hairy vestiture, some- what divergent pategize and a dense basal tuft ; abdomen untufted, conic. primaries narrow, with produced apices and oblique outer margin ; tibize not spinose, anterior flattened with ‘‘a broad rounded exterior projec- tion, a very long stout spine [claw] near the inner margin, and a short spine at the extremity of the inner edge.” Peculiar by the armature of the anterior tibia, combined with the lack of spines on the other pairs. Judging from Mr. Grote’s very superficial generic description, and the superficial examination I was at that time enabled to make, I referred this genus to Schin/a Hb. in my synopsis of the genera. From that genus it differs by the lack of spines on the tibiae. T. saporis, Grt., Papilio 1, 77, Pl. VIII, fig. 5,—White, with a broad me- dian space on primaries blackish; terminal spaces leaden grey, sub-terminal space white with intermediate small zigzag black marks at middle; secondaries with dusky outer margin. I have examined the type from Mr. Edwards’ collec- tion. Expands 1% inch, 28 millim. Habitat.—Washington Territory (Grote), Southern California (Henry Edwards. ) EDOPHRON, Lei. Nocet. Eur. -p. 180. Eyes naked; clypeus with cylindrical projection impressed at tip; tongue very long and strong; antenna heavy in the & with moderately long ciliation ; palpi short and drooping; thorax convex with dense woolly clothing ; abdomen conic in both sexes, in the Q with extruded oviduct ; tibiae not spinose; anterior armed at tip with two claws one above the other at outer side; first tarsal joint also with a stout spine at tip. This is Lederer’s description of the genus, and Pl. VII, fig. 4, shows the tibial armature of ph/ebophora Led. The only American represen- tative of the genus hitherto described is unknown to me and is incor- rectly placed in this genus. The following is new: A. pallens, sp. nov.—Differs from the European species and from the de- scription of the genus by the lack of terminal armature of the anterior tibia, but o 216 J. B. SMITH. otherwise agrees with it in every respect; the wings are dirty white, with a narrow smoky median band and a fine dark t. p. line; the secondaries are of a uniform pale color; secondaries beneath as above; primaries smoky; clypeus bulging, ” with a cylindrical conic protuberance.—Fr. Tepper. Described by Mr. Tepper, at my request, from a single specimen in his collection. It fits in no other genus so well as in this, and I do not consider the lack of the tibial armature in this case as a generic distinc- tion. Differs throughout from Chariclea Kirby, which is not the Chariclea of Mr. Grote, but closely allied te Lederer’s section B, « of that genus. Expands 1 inch, 26 millim Habitat.—Southern California. A. Snowi., Gr., Pr. Ac. N. Sc. Ph., 1875, p. 422; Ill. Essay, f. This is described as of a pale lemon yellow; primaries with a light roseate shading beyond the cell, with the sinuate t. p- line faintly indi- cated in rose-color. Some roseate basal shades, and at the place of the t. a. line. Secondaries pale fuscous, with a roseate terminal stain. — Pri- maries fuscous beneath, with rosy apices. Mr. Grote says the fore tibia are short, with terminal and lateral claws; middle and hind tibia spinose ; this last expression precludes the possibility of the insect belonging to this genus, which has the tibia un- armed except the terminal armature of the anterior pair which are not abbreviated. It is probably an Alarva. PIPPONA, Harv. Buts Buli3,.9. | Uibia sel Valigeh otro: Hyes naked ; head moderate ; clypeus full, with the inferior plate some- what projecting; palpi very short; tongue rather weak ; thorax mode- rate, with scaly vestiture, mixed with somewhat flattened hair; abdomen conic, untufted, ovipositor of Q extruded; tibiae spinose, anterior ab- breviated, flattened, with two inner and three outer claws as shown in figure; primaries elongate, with lengthily produced apices. A somewhat rubbed specimen from Mr. Henry Edwards’ collection has enabled me to examine the venation of this rather peculiar genus, and this adds to the peculiarity, the absence of the accessory cell, pres- ent in all other genera of this group which I have examined except, perhaps, Antuplaya. The insect has a Bombycid appearance, already noted by Dr. Harvey, but the peculiar formation of the anterior tibia, and the structure of clypeus and abdomen places it here. P. bimatris. Hary., Buf.

So far as I can make out this ‘genus agrees with P/ppona in the want of the accessory cell of primaries, but of this I am not at all certain, having no specimens to destroy; the form of primaries and general ap- pearance indicates a close relationship between the two, but the formation of the clypeus and of the anterior tibia very readily separates them.

Readily separable from the foregoing by the entirely white primaries, crossed by two deep black lines and a row of black spots near the outer margin. I have the type from Mr. Neumoegen’s collection, and it dif- fers from Grote/la, in which genus it was placed by Mr. Grote, by hay- ing only a single claw terminating the anterior tibia, by the lack of spines on the median pair, and by the more elongate wings. The genus is very closely allied to Grote//« however, the clypeal structure being precisely identical, and the spinose tibiae of Groted/a are really all that separate it from Antuplaga. Lack of sufficient material has made it impossible for me to study the neuration. ‘The species seems to lack the accessory cell, but of that I am not at all certain. Expands 1 inch, 26 millim.

Closely related to the preceding, but differing by the spinose tibia. Dr. Harvey in his generic description says nothing of the clypeal modifica- tion. This genus is closely allied to the Acontinae and may, perhaps, find a place there at some future day. The species is G. septempunctata, Harv., Buf. Bul. II., 278 (Pl.

I should like to see this insect—an examination of the differences between this genus and Antap/aga would prove instructive. HELIOTHIS, Hb. Eyes naked, globose; head not retracted; clypeus full, bulging, but never projecting in a knob or tumor (Beule); palpi small, moderately fringed beneath; tongue strong; body stout, strong, with lengthy recum- bent hair, forming no distinct tufts on thoracic dorsum ; abdomen stout, conic, 2 ovipositor not extruded; tibiae spinose ; anterior not abbrevi- ated and terminated by a spine at inner and another at outer edge (PI. VII, fig. 6); wings moderate, with primaries somewhat produced at apex and roundedly oblique outer margin. The venation of the group in general, and of this genus in particular is shown, Pl. VII, fig. +6. As above limited the genus embraces Chlorideu rhexia, and those species placed by Lederer in the second section of the genus, excluding therefrom Ononis s. v. (Mel. oregona Hy. Edw). Of the species re- ferred to this genus in his ‘‘ New Check List,”’. Mr. Grote has since placed /ucens with Tami/a, with the type of which it has not the slight- est affinity (Can. Ent. 14,175). Spinosea, Gn., drops from the genus while Oxzy/os citrinellus is added. This latter insect does not fit into Heliothis as L have limited it and [ have not included it. Of the others Ido not know dupatus, which may or may not belong to the genus as above limited, but which Mr. Grote (/oc. cit.) includes in the genus as he proposes to limit it. Cupes, Grt., which is also included, does not belong to this genus, the structure of the anterior tibia (Pl. VIT, fig. 23) sufficiently separates it, while the vestiture instead of being hairy is composed of scales and flattened hair. The markings of primaries only ally it to the species properly in the genus (in my opinion) and the spe- cies was probably described as He/ioth’s merely because it looked like one, and without any examination of the structure. As limited by me, and excluding /wpatus, which. I don’t know, the species stand follows : 220 J. B. SMITH.

I have never found a trace of a median band such as distinguishes the following species. The larva of this species is known as the boll worm in the South and the corn worm in the North. It is 1} inches in length, varying in color from dark green to brown, striped with a darker shade of the ground color; dorsal stripe dark, with pale borders each side; subdorsal still darker, bordered by a pale stripe over stiymata. On each side are 8 shiny piliferous spots from which arise brown hairs. The four on the back of each segment are arranged in the form of a trapezoid, with the parallel sides transverse with the body, shortest side to the head. The two on each side are arranged about the stigmata, one above and a little anterior to the opening, and the other back and on a line with them. Head, legs and cervical shield brown. A few short hairs scattered over the body. (From Ills. Agr. Rept., vol. 15, p. 232.) The moth expands 14 to 13 inches, 30-39 millim. Habitat.— United States and Europe.

Proc. Ac. Nat. Sei. Phil. 1875, 427 (Pl. VIII, fig. 12). . This species is common to Europe and America. I have carefully compared specimens from all sections with those of Kurope and find ne specific difference between them. Jnterjucens is a form with the mark- ings rather more distinct than usual, but not entitled to rank with mar/- tima (lutertinctus) as a variety. A varietal rank this last named form is entitled to hold; it has yellow secondaries, margined with black and with a black discal spot, and has the black markings of primaries much more distinct than in the type form. ‘Lhere is sometimes a complete black margin all round the primary, and a more decided variety it would be difficult to imagine. » The larva is described by Mr. Coquillet in Papilio, 1,56: “ Body naked, light green, a dark dorsal line, on each side of the body are two white lines, 16 legs, head green, length 30 millim. One specimen taken on grass assumed the chryalis form July 14, producing the imago on the 5th of the following month.” Guenée says: Caterpillar yellowish green, with brown red stripes ; subdorsal concolours bordered inferiorly by a sinuous band of brownish violet; stigmatal concolours bordered in- feriorly with brown; on each segment is a transverse reddish line; stig- (56) 222 J.

Fabr. 84, W. V., W. H.; Nuchalis, Grt. (Pl. VIII, fig. 13). Mr. Grote in his New Check List notes that these species are prob- ably identical—in this he is correct. I have compared examples from both continents and find them identical; any difference there may be between extremes from each hemisphere is readily filled by selection from abun- dant material from each section. The markings are different from any of the other species, and are better shown in the figure than they could be described by me. Expands 1-14 inches, 26-32 millim. Habitat.— Kurope and America. The larva feeds on Artemesia compestus and also on the flowers. Of a pale yellowish green with three blackish lines, one dorsal and the others on each side; entirely covered with fine black points and short lines ; each point bearing a number of fine hairs; head brown red with black spots. Also varies somewhat in color. Spins a loose cocoon and trans- forms in the earth. CHARICLEA, Kirby. Kyes naked, globose ; head not retracted sometimes with a tumescent projection; tongue strong; thorax stout, vestiture hairy, forming a small acute tuft behind collar; abdomen of the usual form, distinct dorsal tufts at base ; primaries with somewhat produced apices; form much as in Heliothis ; tibiae not spinose ; anterior sometimes with a claw at tip. The species belonging to this genus Mr. Grote catalogues as Pyrrhia, using Chariclea for two species, triangulifer and pernana, which are not congeneric with C. umbra. I cannot agree with him in this use of the term, and prefer to use Charic/ea as used by Lederer, regarding the species so referred by Mr. Grote as generically distinct, and, indeed, as scarcely belonging to the He/iothids, the prominent inner angle of prim- aries in pernana, and, indeed, the entire appearance of the insect ally- ing it much more nearly to P/usia than Heliothis. Of the three species described as Pyrrhia, | know only two; séil/a, Grt., and é/literata, Grt., are unknown to me. J/hterata by-the-bye has disappeared from the list, and the why and wherefore thereof I have not as yet ascertained.* That leaves of the species catalogued by Mr. Grote, Exprimens, Wik., and Angulata. Grt., both of these are varieties of one and the same species, viz. : * Since the above was written I find that the species has been referred as a synonym of Orthosia aurantiago, Gn. AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. Dee C. umbra. Hufn., exprimens, Wik. C. B. M.; Noct. 687 (Heliothis); angu- data, Grt., Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., Sept., 1874 (Pl. VIII, figs. 14 and 15). The species is of a bright red brown color, with darker brown lines arranged as shown in the figures fig. 14, showing the wmbra form and fig. 15 the extreme angulated form; between the two there are any number of inter-grades, and there is no doubt whatever in my mind of the specific identity of the species. I have carefully compared both forms with Kuropean specimens of umbra and have no doubt of their specific identity, though there is a slight difference in the course of the lines between the two. The larva of the angulata form has been described by Mr. Coquillet in Papilio 1, p. 8, as follows: “Body bluish white; a yellowish brown stigmatal stripe; from the stigmatal stripe on one side of the body to that on the other side are about 10 black lines; sometimes a dorsal row of about 7 yellowish brown spots; piliferous spots black; venter pale greenish ; head shining yellow, with a black spot on each side near the Jaws, the jaws sometimes black; length 13 inches. Several specimens found upon smartweed (Polygonum Pennsyloanicum) September 15, they entered the earth about three inches and formed oval cells Septem- ber 27, disclosing the imagoes May 22, and a few days afterwards.” Expands 1% inches, 36-42 millim. Habitat.—America and Europe. ALARIA, Westw. Eyes naked, globose, or very slightly narrowed ; front full; head mod- erate; palpi exceeding front; tongue strong; body stout, strong; vesti- ture hairy; abdomen of the usual He/iothid form; wings moderate ; primaries with obtuse apex and rounded outer margin; tibiae spinose ; anterior somewhat abbreviated, armed at tip with long inner claw-like spines, and a series of shorter stout spines at outer side. Differs from Heliothis in nothing but the armature of the anterior tibia I have given this character a generic value throughout the group, and a very unsatisfactory distinction. I retain it as distinct because because the very marked superficial appearance will readily separate it from Heliothis. The three species I place here were referred by Mr. Grote to three distinct genera: florida went to Rhodophora, gaurae re- mained A/aria, while for citrinel/us an especial genus was created which was termed Oxylos. Mr. Grote seems never to have suspected the close relationship existing between these species and He//oth/s, and he places a number of entirely different forms between the two. In Can. Ent. vol. 14, p. 172, he refers Oxy/os citrinel/us to Heliothis, but seems not 224 J. B. SMITH. to have suspected the possible identity of A/aria with it, although struc- turally it even more closely resembles it. The species are readily separable as follows : Anterior tibia with a single long inner spine. Primaries bright red, with yellow outer margin...... ........ ss.sece0sseeees florida. Primaries whitish, with base, a longitudinal median shade, margin and an ob- lique shade from apex toward internal margin red.............e00 oes gaurae. Anterior tibia with two long inner claws.

Soc. vol. 4, page 28. It feeds om the buds and seed capsules of the evening primrose, and is of the same delicate green color as they are; of a velvety appearance and clothed with short dense pubescence ; its habit is to lie horizontally along the bud or seed capsule, and boring a hole near the tip to feed downward into it, gradu- ally disappearing from view; this habit, unknown to the collectors in general, explains why the larva is not often found, though its food-plant is well known. It becomes full grown in August and September, trans- forms to a pupa about six inches below the ground, and the imago emerges the following July, when it is often found early in the morning in the closed flowers of the evening primrose. Expands 14 inches, 30-36 millim. Common in New York, and I have received it from Utah. A. gaurae, Sm., Abb. Ins. Ga. 2, p. 197, pl. 99 (Phalaena), Porphyrinia matutina, Hb. (Pl.

Nearly allied to the preceding in the bright colors, but readily separ- able by the form of marking, as shown in the figure, as well as by the armature of the anterior tibia. It seems to vary somewhat in the ex- tent of the red markings and in the clearness of the white ground color. Expands as before. Habitat.—Florida and Southern States. A. eitronellus, G. & R., Trans.

Differs from the preceding by the armature of the tibia, as well as by the uniform pale yellow of primaries. The figure of the tibia shows a side view and is somewhat distorted. Expands 14 inches, 30 millim. Habitat.—Texas and Colorado. AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 225 SCHINIA, Hb. Eyes naked, globose; front full, bulging; “infra clypeal plate” some- times slightly projecting ; palpi short, as usual, fringed beneath, but not as in Melicleptria or allies, more as in Heliothis ; tongue strong; body stout, clothed with long hair, intermixed with scales and flattened hair ; the hair usually overlaying the scales, so that at a cursory examination the vestiture appears hairy; abdomen conic, untufted; wings mod- erate ; primaries with somewhat produced or rectangular apices; tibiae spinose; anterior abbreviated, flattened, and broad at tip, and armed with one or more long inner, and a series of from two to four outer claws. This genus is based on trifascia, Hb., from which the main points of the foregoing description were taken. Congeneric with this are Huleu- cyptera, Tamila, Tricopis, and Lygranthoecia (in part). Mr. Grote in Can. Ent. vol. 14, p. 76, makes the remarkable state- ment that the anterior tibia of S. trifuscia appear ta him unarmed, and in accordance with that view he described as Schin‘a his species buxea, which has broader wings, entirely unarmed elongate fore tibia, the others being non-spinose and close scaly vestiture. It is most assuredly no Schinia, has not the slightest affinity to it, and is not even a /He/iothid. Mr. Grote evidently did not take the trouble to examine his insect care- fully. Ona par is his description of Meadi and vanella as Tamia. Tamila is based on nundina, and that species is congeneric with Schinia 3 fascia. The genus is therefore a synonym of Schiniv, and it cannot be used for the other species of the genus which are not congeneric with it. 7. Meadii is congeneric with Hel/othis /ucens, Morr., and I have created a new genus for these species. 7’ vanel/a has narrow ovate eyes, and an armature which would make it a Melicleptria were it not for its scaly vestiture. It certainly is not congeneric with nundina, and I have made it the type of a distinct genus, associating it with Welic/ep- tria, perminuta, Hy. Edw., and Lygranthoecia scissa, Grt., with which it is undoubtedly congeneric. Tricopis chrysellus has a small clypeal projection which varies in size in the specimens, and is not present in a/ewcis its near ally. It does not indicate generic distinction, for the same peculiarity is sometimes present in Heliothis scutosus. The slight difference in the tibial. armature of Yu/eucyptera does not authorize that genus, and it also drops in as a synonym of Schin‘a. Ly- granthoecia marginata, the type of the genus in which it is placed is also a Schinia in structure though not in markings. It is too closely TRANS. AMER. ENT. SOC. X. (57) FEBRUARY, 1883. 226 J. B. SMITH. allied however to be separated, and with this reference of its type Dy- granthoecia also swells the list of synonyms of this genus. The armature of the anterior tibia in all the species I place in this genus consists of claws, ranged very nearly in the same manner, but with some few differences in the groups, and in fact between each spe- cies; there is also a slight difference in the form of primaries, but so eradually running into each ‘other that not even subdivisions of the genus could be based on them; the venation seems not to vary from Heliothis to any appreciable extent.

Phil. 1875, p. 70 (Acontia), Pl. VIII, fig. 66. Readily recognized, not only by the generic characters but by the whitish primaries with dark base, median and marginal band ; secon- daries blackish, with a white median band not attaining the costal margin. I have the type of Mr. Morrison’s Acontia crusturia ($ and Q ), and they cannot remain associated with that genus. The bulging cly- peus, and more than all the abbreviated armed fore tibia place the species among the Heliothids, and forms the connecting link between the two groups. Both specimens had the anterior tibia prominently displayed, and I cannot understand Mr. Morrison’s remark, “ legs long and slender ; the tibia unarmed.”’ Expands rather more than an inch, 28 millim. Habitat.—Nebraska. The species which I have not seen are as follows: Schinia rectifascia, Grt., Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., 16, 242.—More broadly winged and slighter bodied than S. trifascia, Hb., of a somewhat pale, dull olivaceous color. The primaries have each three pale fasciz, but these are _ much narrower and nearly upright in the new species. The two first eorrespond- ing to the ordinary median lines are nearly straight, wider apart than in trifascia, where they are approximate and very oblique. The third fascia corresponds to the usual subterminal line; it is outwardly projected beyond its costal inception, where it copies the course of the second fascia or outer median line. A pale linear discoloration at the extremity of the cell in the place of the reniform. The fringes and terminal margin are stained of a brownish ochraceous on both wings; the secondaries are silky, discolored whitish; beneath pale fuscous, with ochreous terminal stains dying the fringes, and with costal trace of double darker common lines.

Lygranthoecia coercita, Grt., Papilio I, 156.—‘Allied to balba in ap- pearance, but differing by the presence of four blunt spines on the outside of the fore tibia. It is very pale, and differs from Separata by the hind wings being white; primaries faded ochrey, with the lines white; s. t. space narrow, con- stricted by the broad white subterminal line opposite the cell; reniform long, dis- colorous defined, extended inferiorly ; orbicular marked; terminal line dotted ; t. p. line not so much exserted opposite the dise as usual; head and thorax nearly white; same size with its allies. This form perhaps is nearest to Separata, but the ground color is as pale as Regia, in which the subterminal space is not con- stricted opposite the disc, and the fine rosy purple color is very different from the faded ochreous shadings on the primaries of Coercita.” Lygranthoecia roseitineta, Hary., Buf.

By far the largest and, with the exception of Regia, the most beau- tiful of that group of which Rivulosa is the type. Habitat.—Texas. Aspila subflexa, Guen., Noct. 2, 175 (Aspila).—The primaries are a little more produced at apex than rhexia. Color very pale greenish yellow, with three olive green bands; the third inflected at middle, and broken into a series of spots ; fringe olive green: secondaries blane nacre, absolutely without spot or band. RHODODIPSA, Grt. Buf. Bul. Geol. Surv. 3, 797. Mr. Grote in some remarks on the species vo/upia of Fitch gives the only definition of the genus which [ have been able to find. He says, after remarking that in Rhodophora the anterior tibia besides being armed at tip has also spinules: “In Rhododipsa the joint wants the spinules; there is an outer claw and two spines on the inside, followed by a third paler-colored and more slender, but nearly as long, much longer than the ordinary spinules. At the location of this third spine in Rhodophora is a spinule not noticably longer than the rest, and not as long as one which follows the outer claw, and commences a series which is wanting in Rhododipsa volupia.” This is all of generic characters given and it certainly does not sustain the genus. Rhododipsa volupia, Grt., Bul. U. 8. Geol. Surv. 3, 797; BkIn. Bul. 3,47.—Head and thorax dark yellow; fore and hind wings bright crimson; primaries with the median lines propinquitous, irregularly toothed, yellowish white, not very distinct; a yellowish white discal spot; the subterminal line of the same color runs very near the external margin, twice bent; the very narrow terminal space again crimson before the pale, yellowish fringes which are faintly interlined and similar on both wings; beneath the wings are crimson, with the secondaries shaded with pale. as also the costal edge of primaries; legs and under surface of thorax yellow ; abdomen red beneath. Expanse 26 millim. Habitat.—Texas and Colorado. After the above was written I saw the type of Fitch’s volupia, and it is undoubtedly the same as the above species of Mr. Grote. The genus Rhododipsa as based on this species has no sufficient foundation; the species is entirely congeneric with florida and gaurae, and was by Dr. Fitch correctly referred to A/aria. Mr. Grote’s course in describing a species which he must have known by the description to have very closely AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 251 resembled Mr. Fitch’s volupia, under the same name, and thereafter en- tirely ignoring Mr. Fitch’s species in his list can scarcely be called honest. R. miniana, Grt., Papilio 1, 175; id. 2, Pl. I, figs. 1 and 2.—Thorax lighter yellow or orange; this color spreads over base of fore wings; fore wings pale smooth clay color, crossed by two broad vague mesial white bands; subterminal line inaugurated by a brilliant wine-red, outwardly ob- lique, linear scale patch, partly resolved into about three spots; a spot on inter- nal margin; hind wings brilliant wine red; the internal magin yellowish ; indi- cations of yellow mesial line, and the fringes are also of this color; beneath the dise of primaries is of the same wine red, and the hind wings aré erossed by lines and shades of the same color.

Expands 36 millim. Habitat.—Western States. Schinia Gulnare, Strk., Proc. Dav. Ac. Nat. Sci. 2, 274, Pl. IX, fig. 1.— Expands 1% inches.—Head olivaceons; body brilliant pale metallic, olivaceous or greenish gray; beneath greenish and not so brilliant ; upper surface : primaries shin- ing silvery grey or olivaceous, somewhat of the tint of Plusia modesta, Hb., but very highly lustrous; three silvery lines cross the wings ; the first or subbasal is straight until almost to costa, whence it turns inwardly toward the base at an acute angle; the second starts a little beyond the middle of the inner margin, whence it ex- pands into a curve towards but not to the apex; not far from the costa it is bent abruptly backwards, forming an acute angle; half way between the last described line and the outer margin and curved in nearly the same manner, and with the tooth or point formed by the bend near costa, touching the exterior margin a little below the apex is the last or third line; between this line and the outer margin, and resting on the last, is an oblong, pointed at both ends patch of deep gold ; another golden smaller mark is nearly at the apex; secondaries much the same color as the. primaries near and at the exterior margin, but paler at the base; all the fringes olive green; under surface somewhat same color as above and nearly as brilliant, but devoid of the three transverse lines, and also of the golden patch on the primaries; all are pale at the edge of costa, and two short pale lines are on the costa at exterior third of wings; apex with a golden reflection ; secondaries with obscure discal dots, and marginal and submarginal bands or lines. One specimen, Illinois, French. I have some doubts of the correct- ness of the generic reference of this species. The figure does not look like a Schinia, but I have unfortunately not seen the insect itself. Schinia scissa, Grt., Proc. Bost. Soe. Nat. Sci. 1876, p. 415 (Lygranthoecia) ; New Check List (Anthoecia). To the kindness of Mr. Thaxter I owe a specimen of’ this species. It belongs with Meskeana and is closely allied to it ; the anterior tibia have two inner and three outer claws as in Pl. VII, fig. 36; the primaries are of arich dark brown with a yellowish blotch from the middle to outer 3 of wing, indicating the median pale space; usual lines obsolete; reniform large and black ; secondaries yellow in the centre, with a com- plete black margin and a large black discal spot; anal segment and cloth- ing yellow; beneath primaries black at base, yellow in the middle and brown at outer margin, apex more reddish; secondaries as above, except that the costal margin is roseate. The species has the superficial appear- ance of Melicleptria, the retracted small head of Pseudotamila, and the vestiture of the genus in which I place it. Expands 7} inch.

Sides of thorax moderately arcuate, the dise con- vex, coarsely punctured, at the sides somewhat tuberculate by the confluence of the punctures. Scutellum small oval. Elytra densely and deeply punctured, the punctures near the apex less confused and forming a slight tendency to striae. Body beneath more shining than above, moderately densely punctured, but smoother along the median line. Prosternum very coarsely punctured in front, the process smooth with a row of coarse deep punctures so closely placed as to resemble a groove. Length .60-.76 inch; 15-19 millim. Although very distinct in its facies from obditeratus it is not easy to give any striking characters by which the two may be separated. It is, however, smaller, less robust, the sculpture much less coarse and the color quite different. There have been about eight or ten specimens collected by the late Mr. W. F. Wenzel near Wilmington, North Carolina. I find no differ- ence in them except in size. Those in my cabinet were kindly given me by his son, Mr. Henry Wenzel. Of the species in the table, cwneatus makes the closest approach in resemblance to Hippomelus saginata, in fact, the two might easily be confounded without reference to the structure of the tarsi. HIPPOMELAS L. et G. The following species belong to the above-named genus and are dis- tinguished as follows: Epistoma rather deeply emarginate, the labrum almost bilobed. Thorax with moderately arcuate sides and regularly punctured surface, sphenicus Lec. Epistoma broadly emarginate, the labrum feebly notched. Thorax narrowed in front, the sides nearly straight, dise regularly punctured, saginata Mann. Arcuate, disc irregularly and roughly sculptured.........06. seer caelatus Lec. Thorax quadrate, sides arcuate, the dise regularly and moderately punctured, ealifornicus Horn. H. saginata Mann., has not yet to my knowledge occurred within our faunal limits. H. caelatus by its robust form and thoracic sculpture approaches Gyascutus, while californicus by its feeble frontal ridges seems to lead to Psiloptera. All the species of both genera have the tips of the elytra slightly emarginate and slightly spinous. Deltometopus ereptus Bonv.—An examination of the type in the collection of M. Sallé convinces me that it in no wise differs from amoenicornis Say. Analestesa testacea Leach, is Cebrio bicolor Fab. Corymbites tristis Cand.—Specimens, which on comparison do not differ from this species, have been found in Japan by Mr. George Lewis. AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 289 I have already stated that I believe Hater semivittatus Say, to be the older name of this species. EUBRIA. In a synopsis of our Dascyllidae attention was directed to the differ- ence between the anterior and posterior claws of each pair of feet, the former being deeply bifid, the latter simple. Reasoning from analogous forms in our fauna I had reason to believe that the claws of the female would prove to be simple. While in the British Museum the suspicion was mentioned to Mr. A. Sidney Olliff, and to him we owe the demon- stration of a character which I had suspected from analogy. Pleolobus Philippi, which appears in the Munich Catalogue among the Telephorini is a Dascyllide and identical with Anorus Lec., which is the prior name. The tribe Macropoginini, as recognized in our books, will include the South American genus Arfematopus, and as Lacordaire has already in- dicated the tribe, his name, Artematopini, should be adopted. The defi- nition of the tribe must, however, be modified in accordance with the views already expressed by me (Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 1880, p. 77). CLERIDAE. Cymatodera gigantea Horn, I find on comparison to be C. Hopei Gray. The latter name should prevail. ©. texana Gorham, Biol. Cent. Amer. iii. 2, p. 134, is the second of the species indicated by me but not named in my Synopsis, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 1876, p. 230. Enoplium humerale Horn.—Mr. Gorham (loc. cit. p. 184) refers this species to Pyticera, but drops my specific name on the ground that there is a humerale in Pelonium. If the genera are distinct the reasoning is not valid. CERAMBYCIDAKE. Callidium nicolas Wht., is merely the dark form of Hylotrupes lig- neus Fab. Callidium subfasciellum Wht., is Phymatodes varius Fab. Liopus dorsalis Wht., is a Lepturges, and is from Brazil and not United States. From an examination of the cabinet of Mr. H. W. Bates it became evident that our species referred to Pilema are really Callimus, while Callimus chalybaeus Lec., must receive a new generic name, and Poeci- lobrium has been proposed by me* to contain not only that species, but also Callidium rufipes Fad., of Europe. * Class.

This group corresponds with the Cephalodontites of Chapuis, and the name has been changed because the genus from which the name has been derived does not appear distinct from Odontota, which Harold in his turn replaces by Cha/epus.

Thorax usually broader than long and wider at base. Elytra with rows of punctures, the inter- val costiform or not. Legs short, tibiae straight, slightly broader toward the tip- Third tarsal joint deeply bilobed, the fourth joint usually not longer than the lobes, rarely much longer. Microrhopala, as here constituted, contains also the species in our fauna referred in the books to Uroplata. There seem to be no valid characters for separating these genera. Certain of our species are re- ferred by Chapuis (Genera des Coleoptéres, XI, p. 322) to a section of the latter genera called Pentispa, characterized by the head having five longitudinal erooves on the vertex. I have never observed more than AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 291 three grooves (rubrolineata), often one only as in vittata, or with a con- fused punctuation (some specimens of Yerene). In his essay on the Chrysomelidae (Proe. Acad. 1873, p. 82) Crotch included Octotoma in Microrhopala. The genus seems sufficiently marked to retain as dis- tinct.

Vertex suleate, bronzed. Thorax gradually broader to base. Sides at middle subangulate, dise convex cribrately punctured. Elytra nearly parallel, very slightly broader behind, apices conjointly rounded, the mar- gin serrate, dise with eight rows of coarse deep punctures separated by three well- marked costae. Legs black. Length .20 inch; 5 millim. This species differs entirely in the style of coloration from any in our fauna and approaches the Mexican type of Hispidae. I have in my cabinet a Mexican species closely resembling the present, which differs in the elytra at tip, more strongly dentate and the thorax has on each side an elongate smooth callus. Occurs in Texas. MI. Xerene Newm.—Black, sides of thorax and elytral vitta reddish yellow. Front usually coarsely punctured, rarely with traces of grooves. Elytra with eight regular rows of deeply impressed punctures, the intervals between them slightly alternating. Length .16-.20 inch; 4-5 millim. Var. interrupta Couper.—In this form the vitta is interrupted. The species otherwise is very little variable. Occurs in the Atlantic region and Canada. I have not seen speci- mens from west of the Mississippi. M. rubrolineata Mann.—Body above and beneath blue, sides of thorax and elytral vitta reddish-yellow. Head distinctly grooved. Length .16-.20 inch; 4-5 millim. Var. signaticollis Lec.—This form has the elytral vitta entirely wanting. Numer- ous specimens have been observed in which the vitta extends but half the length of the elytra. This species is closely related to the preceding and differs by very slight characters which are, however, constant. It will also be observed that the margin of the elytra near the apex is very distinctly serrate in this species. Occurs in California. M. vulnerata n. sp.—Form of the preceding species, above and beneath blue, elytra with a yellowish-red vitta, which is broader toward the base. Front suleate. Thorax entirely blue, punctures coarse and deep, but distinet, not con- fluent. Elytra with margin serrulate near the apex, disc with eight equal rows of coarse deep punctures, the intervals equal; vitta extending about two-thirds the length of the elytra, and at its basal half suddenly wider and reaching nearly to the side margin. Length .14—.18 ineh; 3.5—4.5 millim. Although closely related to rubrolineatu the present species has the AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 293 thorax entirely blue, and the punctuation more regular and not conflu- ent. The elytral vitta is also a constant difference. Occurs in Arizona. M. floridama Schwarz.—Above and beneath dark blue, nearly black. Vertex suleate. Thorax broader than long, sides nearly parallel, coarsely, deeply and somewhat confluently punctured. Elytra with eight rows of coarse punc- tures, the punctures of the four inner rows larger and more elongate than the others, the alternate intervals very slightly more elevated. Lateral margin scarcely visibly serrulate. Length .18 inch; 4.5 millim. The form of the thorax will distinguish this from the following uni- formly blue species. Occurs in Florida. M. excavata Oliv. (Pluto Newm.).—Bluish black, moderately shining. Front sulcate. Thorax distinctly wider at base, the dise coarsely and irregularly punctured. Elytra with eight rows of coarse deep punctures, the two inner rows less deep and somewhat confused, the intervals sometimes slightly elevated, usually flat, margin of elytra serrulate. Length .20 inch; 5 millim. In this species there is considerable variation of elytral sculpture, so great that I had supposed two distinct forms existed. Certain specimens have the costae slightly indicated and may be considered the typical forms, others again have no trace of costae. A form occurs in Texas without costae, with the rows of punctures quite regular, these approach very closely to cyaned. Occurs from Canada to Georgia and Texas. M. Erebus Newm.—Bluish black, feebly shining. Vertex suleate. Thorax broader behind, coarsely and deeply cribrate. Elytra with the series of punctures much confused, the punctures very large and somewhat confluent, especially at the sides, margin of elytra serrulate. Length .18-.20 inch; 4.5-5 millim. This species carries to the greatest extreme the irregularity of the elytral punctures, as well as their size and depth. It is very rare that any specimen exhibits an entire row of punctures. There being no regu- lar rows of punctures the intervals are consequently never costiform. Occurs in Florida. M. eyanea Say.—Bluish black, sometimes slightly bronzed, shining. Ver- tex sulcate. Thorax broader at base, coarsely and deeply punctured. Elytra with eight regular rows of equal punctures, the intervals equal and never eari- nate, margin not serrulate. Length .24 inch; 6 millim. Occurs in Missouri, Colorado and Texas. I have seen a specimen marked New York. The preceding four species of uniform dark blue color are very puzz- ling and difficult to separate, and with a greater or less amount of mate- rial will give rise to differences of opinion as to whether the number four should be increased or diminished. My first study of the series, (74) 294 GEO. H. HORN, M. D. several years ago, seemed very unsatisfactory, but on resuming it for the completion of the present work, [ have not modified the notes made at that time. M. porecata Mels.—Black, without lustre. Vertex distinctly suleate. Thorax quadrate, sides slightly arcuate, surface cribrate. Elytra nearly parallel, each distinctly tricostate, the intervals biseriately punctured, except between the sec- ond and third, in which four rows of punctures are observed at the apical fourth, becoming confused at the base, margin not serrate. Length .12 inch; 3 millim. By its slender form this species resembles a Charistena, but the tibide are straight and gradually broader to tip. Occurs from Pennsylvania to [linois, but rare. M. montana n. sp.—Form moderately robust, black, without lustre. Ver- tex distinctly suleate. Thorax slightly transverse, not wider behind, sides mod- erately arcuate, dise convex, coarsely but very regularly punctured. Elytra distinctly tricostate, the intervals between the costae with a double series of coarse punctures, that between the two outer costae with four rows of punctures, distinct near the apex and separated by a slight costa, confused near the base. Fourth tarsal joint much longer than the lobes of the third. Length .10 inch; 2.5 millim. This species and the next agree in having the fourth tarsal joint nearly twice as long as the lobes of the third. The antennae are also shorter than usual in the genus and the terminal joints more decidedly capitate. Occurs in Montana. : M. Welsheimeri Cr. (Odontote Hardyi Cr.).—Beneath piceous, above red- dish yellow, maculate. Vertex sulcate. Thorax nearly quadrate, sides feebly areuate, dise convex coarsely and deeply punctured, usually a median smooth callus and a vague impression on each side at base, color sometimes uniformly reddish yellow, occasionally maculate with piceous spots. Elytra sculptured as in the preceding species, color reddish yellow, maculate, with piceous spots arranged in oblique series, sometimes confluent in oblique fasciae. Legs reddish yellow. Fourth tarsal joint elongate. Length .12 inch; 8 millim. Occurs in the Atlantic region, also in California. The characters used for the separation of the genera of Hispidae are for the most part feeble. These two species are probably as much en- titled to separation as a distinct genus as Octotoma or Charistena, but in a fauna like our own in which the representation is limited there seems little use in multiplying names. ODONTOTA Chevr. : The generic name here adopted is chosen rather in deference to the limited tradition of the science in this country, than from a conviction that it will ultimately prevail. In the group Cephalodontides, as defined by Chapius, four genera are given in which the antennae have the eleven joints quite distinctly separated, these are Odontota, Cephalodonta, Char- istena and Anoplitis. The first is distinguished by the prominence of AMERICAN COLEOPTERA. 295 the head in front of the antennae, the second has antennae one-third longer than the thorax and rather slender, while Charistena has curved middle tibiae. The latter genus seems fairly established. Odontota and Anoplitis differ only in the description by the prominence of the head of the former. In studying our species I do not find the character valid, in other words, it is evanescent. Cephalodonta does not occur in our fauna, and a discussion of its value would be premature without speci- mens.* In the Hispidae, as in many other parts of the Coleoptera, classification has been too much diluted by unnecessary genera.
