Kansas, Mr. E. A. Popinoe, one specimen. The rows of punctures of the elytra, from tlie absence of pubescence, appear black; the white dots oc- cupy the distance between them, and contrast elegantly with the yellow pubescence of the main surface. The white lines of the prothorax are nar- row, and not very conspicuous; they converge but scarcely meet at the front, and are sliglitly curved; the middle carina is also clothed beliind with white hair; the scutellum and a small spot at the base of the third inter- space of the elytra are also white. 12.

A large, ( mm.; .25 inch), and robust species clothed with short, ferruginous pubencence, and handsomely variegated with white, forming a complex pattern each side of tlie prothorax, and irregular posterior bands on tlie elytra. The beak is Ion"; nnd slender, punctured, feebly striate; the prothorax broader than long, not narrowed from the base to the middle, then rounded and much nairowed to the tip, wliicli is strongly constricted at the 8id(?s; the disc is very densely punctured, and finely carinate from the tip to the middle. Tlie i)uncturesof the elytral strioe are very large and quadrate, and the alternate interspaces are finely cari- nate. Body beneath coarsely and rather densely ])unctured; mesosternum protuber
