Extract

The lamiine genus Hyperplatys Haldeman is represented in Eastern Canada by two species, H. maculata Hald. and H. aspersa (Say). Both are small grevish long-horned beetles with spotted elytra. These species have suffered from considerable taxonomic confusion, having been misdetermined by Blatchley (1910), Felt (1924), Knull (1946), and probably a number of other authors. Craighead (1923) described the larva and pupa of H. asperus Say (sic), but apparently this was also a misdetermination, since his pupal description obviously refers to H. maculata.
