6 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



Sides slightly diverging posteriorly, the hind angles somewhat everted. 5 

 3 Integuments alutaceous in lustre. Color pale yellowish-brown 

 throughout the body, legs and antennae, moderately stout, subcylin- 

 dric; head fully half as wide as the prothorax, the eyes large and 

 prominent, separated by scarcely twice their width; front densely 

 but rather finely punctate-scabrous; clypeus but little wider than 

 long, rounded, the sides straight and parallel, the surface concave, 

 shining, finely, rather sparsely punctate; antennal club long, ex- 

 ceeding all the other joints combined; prothorax but little narrower 

 than the elytra, four-fifths wider than long, the sides parallel and 

 nearly straight basally viewed vertically, converging viewed ob- 

 liquely, rounded anteriorly, the apex scarcely at all sinuate, the base 

 broadly lobed medially, with strong entire bead; surface everywhere 

 rather finely, feebly, sparsely punctate; scutellum sparsely punctu- 

 late; elytra a fifth longer than wide, parallel, rapidly obtuse at tip, 

 the striae deeply impressed, finely, obsoletely punctate, more strongly 

 laterad, the intervals convex, minutely, remotely punctulate, the 

 second flatter, with a very irregular line of distinct punctures, ob- 

 solete posteriorly; pygidium finely, obsoletely and remotely punc- 

 tulate; hind tibiae stout, feebly surate, as long as the femora, a little 

 shorter than the tarsi; middle coxae only very narrowly separated 

 as usual in the genus. Length (cf) 10.5-11.5 mm.; width 5.5-6.0 



mm. Texas. [Anomala cavifrons Lee.] cavifrons Lee.

4 Body nearly as in the preceding but smaller, narrower and less convex, 

 still paler brownish-flavate throughout; eyes, clypeus and antennae 

 nearly similar, except that the clypeus is flat, the apex less broadly 

 reflexed; prothorax three-fourths wider than long, the sides more 

 rounded, evidently converging basally viewed from above, the basal 

 lobe stronger, the margin similarly beaded, the apex truncate; 

 surface similarly convex, finely and sparsely punctate; scutellum 

 narrower; elytra a fourth longer than wide, similar in general form 

 and sculpture; pygidium less sparsely punctulate; hind tibiae dis- 

 tinctly more slender, much shorter than the tarsi, which are less 

 stout than in cavifrons; coarse sparse hairs of the sterna similar; 

 anterior tibiae with a single external tooth as usual, the tarsi slender. 

 Length (cf ) 9.3-9.7 mm.; width 4.6-4.7 mm. Kansas (Trego and 



Rooks Cos.) comes n. sp. 



Body somewhat as in cavifrons but a little larger and with notably more 

 elongate elytra; surface very convex, strongly shining, pale and very 

 uniform luteo-flavate throughout, the legs concolorous; head nearly 

 as in cavifrons but rather more coarsely punctato-rugose, the clypeus 

 similarly declivous from the acutely prominent suture but more 

 transverse, being about one-half wider than long, the strongly con- 

 cave and reflexed margins almost sculptureless; eyes smaller, being 

 separated by two and one-half times their width; antennal club 

 similarly long; prothorax smaller, distinctly less than twice as wide 

 as long, rather more narrowed anteriorly, otherwise similar, except 

 that the surface is strongly shining and with the sparse punctures
