Phil., III. 1846, p. 60.). — This is an eastern species, ranging from Rhode Island to North Carolina. My collection contains four specimens from Tampa, Florida, the southernmost recorded point of its distribu- tion. Four specimens in the Mackenzie collection from Baltimore, Maryland (June 16, 1909, collected by F. E. Blaisdell). The head of I. pulla is finely and very densely punctate, the surface almost flat; eyes small; antennae slender, about half as long as the body. The prothorax is three-fourths wider than long, strongly narrowed from base to apex, with almost evenly arcuate sides. The apex is more than one half as wide as the base, the latter being transverse, the angles right, not distinctly rounded. Elytra nearly three times longer than the prothorax, and beyond the middle nearly two-fifths wider. The base is equal in width to the thoracic base. Apex moderately acute, the disc punctured and with subsutural striae nearly as in I. sericea, but the pvmc- tures are slightly coarser and a little sparser. — Length — PLATE 34 Isomira comstocki. Enlarged X14 Isomira comstocki new species. — Small, narrowly oval, head dark, prothorax slightly red-brown, elytra with very fine pale yellow pubescence. 147.
