CERAMBYCID^E 361<br />

more arcuately dehiscent at apex, <strong>the</strong> truncature oblique and straight<br />

but less well denned, <strong>the</strong> sutural angles being very obtuse and somewhat<br />

rounded; posterior elytral spots larger but separated by l<strong>on</strong>gitudinal<br />

rays nearly as in interruptus; abdomen narrowly annulate,<br />

<strong>the</strong> legs moderate. Length (9 ) 14.0 mm.; width 4.7 mm. British<br />

Columbia (Aldermere), Keen columbianus n. sp.<br />

Color deep black throughout, <strong>the</strong> legs and antennae feebly picescent dis-<br />

tally; maculati<strong>on</strong> throughout as in undulatus but more developed<br />

and pure white, <strong>the</strong> apical margin of <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>on</strong>otum broader, denser<br />

sublaterally, giving <strong>the</strong> appearance of an inclosed spot; head and<br />

antennae in form and sculpture nearly as in undulatus but with <strong>the</strong><br />

third antennal joint shorter, not l<strong>on</strong>ger than <strong>the</strong> first; prothorax<br />

similar in form and sculpture but larger, just visibly narrower than<br />

<strong>the</strong> elytra, having near basal third a small spot of short sparse<br />

white pubescence, which seems never to appear in undulatus; elytra<br />

less el<strong>on</strong>gate, more cuneiform, <strong>on</strong>ly about twice as l<strong>on</strong>g as wide, all<br />

<strong>the</strong> spots clearly separated, <strong>the</strong> apical truncature less oblique and<br />

somewhat arcuate; spots and annuli of <strong>the</strong> under surface pure white<br />

and very sharply defined; legs moderate. Length (cf) 13.3<br />

mm.; width 4.2 mm. California (Siskiyou Co.). .alb<strong>on</strong>otatus n. sp.<br />

4 Third antennal joint scarcely as l<strong>on</strong>g as <strong>the</strong> first; elytra very rapidly<br />

narrowed from base to apex, str<strong>on</strong>gly cuneiform, markings all<br />

yellow; head and prothorax throughout nearly as in undulatus,<br />

<strong>the</strong> sides of <strong>the</strong> latter ra<strong>the</strong>r more str<strong>on</strong>gly rounded medially and cor-<br />

resp<strong>on</strong>dingly more sinuate near base and apex; elytra maculate as in<br />

undulatus, ra<strong>the</strong>r shorter, paler brown in color; legs and antennae<br />

pale red-brown but almost similar; apical pale annuli of <strong>the</strong> abdomen<br />

more diffused, especially toward <strong>the</strong> sides. Length (9) 12.5<br />

mm.; width 4.0 mm. Idaho (Coeur d'Alene), J. A. Leyden.<br />

m<strong>on</strong>tanicus n. sp.<br />

Third antennal joint much l<strong>on</strong>ger than <strong>the</strong> first in both sexes; maculati<strong>on</strong><br />

whiter 5<br />

Form more slender than <strong>the</strong> first three of <strong>the</strong> above species, <strong>the</strong> elytra<br />

but slightly narrowed from base to apex and much wider than <strong>the</strong><br />

prothorax, which is very moderate in size, two-fifths wider than<br />

l<strong>on</strong>g, with <strong>the</strong> sides broadly rounded; color dark red-brown, <strong>the</strong><br />

legs and antennae rufescent; apical and basal pale pubescent margins<br />

of <strong>the</strong> prothorax always narrow, sharply defined, more or less in-<br />

terrupted at <strong>the</strong> middle; elytral spots disc<strong>on</strong>nected in <strong>the</strong> ante-apical<br />

fascia, <strong>the</strong> ground uniform or sometimes slightly sprinkled with<br />

paler hairs, sometimes with l<strong>on</strong>gitudinal rays of sparse pale hairs<br />

in more than apical half, this being <strong>the</strong> typical form as figured but<br />

not described by Say and <strong>the</strong> typical form of interruptus as figured<br />

by Laporte and Gory; legs moderate, <strong>the</strong> hind femora extending<br />

barely behind <strong>the</strong> elytra in <strong>the</strong> male, with <strong>the</strong> hind tarsi compressed<br />

as usual but <strong>on</strong>ly of moderate length, <strong>the</strong> first joint <strong>on</strong>ly about <strong>on</strong>ehalf<br />

l<strong>on</strong>ger than <strong>the</strong> remainder. Length (cT) 10.0-13.5 mm.; width<br />

3.0-4.0 mm. Regi<strong>on</strong> of <strong>the</strong> Great Lakes and in Indiana.<br />
