The females of D. anripeiudg, a species found on the Pacific coast, are dimor- phic, the two forms being distinguished liy different size of mark- ings and by different fineness of punetation. Passing uow to genera of tiie suli-family Cerambycinffi that have the base of the antenna' jiartly surrounded by the ey^es, Clytus and related genera have long legs, finely granulated eyes, a rounded or broadly triangular seutellum, tibia- not carinated and with large spurs, prothorax never s]iiny or tuberculated, elytra not sinuate, and iutercoxal process ai-ute. The si>ecies are generally banded with yellow, «lnte, or black, and are active both at flight and in running. < '/i/fim in its limited sense, as defined by Drs. Le Conte and Horn, is confined in North America to two species, of which the life histories are unknown. (Jlj/tui wietis, a common yellow, lilack, and red European species which is figured on page 328, is found in its larval state in the dead wood of mulberry and sycamore trees, and in the living wood of some other trees. ('. sexguttatus, also figured, is from Algiers. CyUe)tc differs from Cli/tus in having the head ]iroportionally smaller, the front short, the intercoxal jirocess rounded, and the pronotnm hollowed out at the :ase. Cijllene rohinim is very abumlant upon locust trees, the wood of which is seri- ously damaged 1)v its larvae The beetle is brownish black, figured beneath and trans- versely striped aliove with yellow, and has reddish legs.
