85.  Stenochorus dorsalis (n.s.) S. fulvo-piceus capite angusto, labro palpisque testaceis, vertice canaliculato, thorace inaequaliter rugoso eminentia media ovali glabra tribusque aliis utrinque inconspicuis, elytris bidentatis lineis subelevatis interstitiisque punctatis macula media suturali testacea antice subemarginata, antennis subtus villosis articulis apice haud spinosis, corpore pedibusque piceis femoribus incrassatis.

86.  Stenochorus tunicatus (n.s.) S. flavus antennarum articulis duobus primis nigris quinto apice septimo nonoque nigris, thorace subcylindrico utrinque unidentato supra quadrituberculato tuberculis anticis majoribus, elytris apice flavis unidentatis, parte basali ultra medium subviolaceo-flava linea obliqua terminata, corpore pedibusque flavo-testaceis.

87.  Stenoderus abbreviatus.  Dej.  Cat. 112.  Cerambyx abbreviatus.  Fab.  Syst.  Eleuth.  Leptura ceramboides.  Kirby, in Linnean Transactions volume 12 page 472.

Obs.  This is certainly Mr. Kirby’s Leptura ceramboides, and perfectly agrees with the Fabrician description of the Cerambyx abbreviatus, except that no mention is there made of its mouth being yellow.  Mr. Kirby says of this insect, “a habitu Lepturae omnino recedit Cerambycibus propior,” and certainly were it allowable to judge entirely from habit, it would seem to connect those American Saperdae of Fabricius and Olivier which have bearded antennae, such as (S. plumigera, Oliv., barbicornis, Fab.) with some other family, perhaps the Oedemeridae.  But, however this may be, the genus Stenoderus differs from the Cerambycidae, and agrees with the Lepturidae, inasmuch as it has the antennae inserted between the eyes.

88.  Stenoderus concolor (n.s.) S. obscure testceus, antennis articulo basilari longo apice crassiori, capite thoraceque cylindrico constricto subrufis, elytris testaceis punctatis lineis quatuor elevatis.

89.  Lamia vermicularis.  Schon. in App.  Syn.  Ins. page 169, 234.  L. vermicularia.  Don.  Ins.  Fab. 5.

90.  Lamia rugicollis.  Schon. in App.  Syn.  Ins. page 169, 234.

91.  Lamia bidens.  Fab.  Syst.  Eleuth. 2 304. 124.

92.  Acanthocinus piliger (n.s.) A. antennis obscuris pilosis apicem versus cinereo-annulatis, capite cinereo vertice nigro bilineato, thorace obscuro cinereo inaequali postice subcanaliculato medio utrinque tuberculato, elytris obscuris fasciculis minutis nigris flavis cinereisque variegatis, fascia media cinerea undata cristaque tuberculata humeros versus.

93.  Notoclea immaculata.  Marsham, in Linnean Transactions 9 291, table 25. figure 4.

94.  Notoclea variolosa.  Marsham, in Linnean Transactions 9 285, table 24. figure 1.

95.  Notoclea reticulata.  Marsham, in Linnean Transactions 9 285, table 24. figure 2.

96.  Notoclea 4-maculata.  Marsham, in Linnean Transactions 9 287, table 24. figure 6.

Obs.  I suspect that this insect is merely a variety of N. reticulata.
