The numerous additional specimens obtained by Herr Hoge in Northern Mexico 
connect A. rugosissima and A. interrupta with the variable A. sordida, Lec., and they 
cannot be retained as distinct. The Mexican examples are very robust and have the

base being sometimes strongly bisinuate and the hind angles prolonged backwards. 
The only North-American specimens I have seen as yet are smoother than usual.

Sent in abundance by Herr Hoge from various places in the State of Puebla, also 
from Cuernavaca. A. funesta is an extreme variety of the same species, from which it 
differs in having the disc of the thorax unimpressed, and the inner dorsal ridge on each 
elytron strongly raised.
