8 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



single series of punctures; pygidium finely and very sparsely punc- 

 tate; tarsal claws as usual. Length 12.3 mm. Texas (El Paso). 



[Anomala apacheana Wick.] apacheana Wick. 



6 Body unusually large in size, with the integuments subopaque, parallel 

 in form, yellowish-testaceous, the head, tibiae and tarsi darker; 

 reflexed edge of the clypeus, thoracic bead, outer edge of the anterior 

 tibiae and posterior tibial ridges more or less blackish; head of the 

 usual size, the front coarsely, densely but not deeply punctate, the 

 vertex smoother; clypeus punctured like the front but less strongly, 

 the front edge nearly straight, the angles broadly and evenly rounded, 

 the sides subparallel, the margin rather strongly reflexed, the suture 

 deeply impressed and nearly straight; antennal club about equal 

 in length to the entire stem; prothorax punctured finely and rather 

 sparsely, somewhat more closely toward the sides, with the usual 

 sublateral foveiform irregularity, the basal bead entire, the lobe 

 slightly sinuate medially; sides converging basally, the angles obtuse 

 as usual; scutellum punctured like the pronotum; elytra a little more 

 shining than the pronotum, rather strongly striate, the striae punc- 

 tured feebly, rather more strongly near the base and laterad, the 

 intervals alternating in width and convexity, the broader and less 

 convex intervals rather sharply, uniserially punctate, the second with 

 a confused double series of punctures; lateral intervals not punctate; 

 pygidial sculpture fine and rugulose; sterna hairy; mesosternum, 

 legs, tibiae and tarsal claws nearly as in cavifrons. Length 13.5- 

 16.5 mm. New Mexico (Capitan Mt.). [Anomala camancha Wick.] 



camancha W T ick. 



The constancy of the feeble carination of the clypeal suture and 

 uniform pallid coloration of the legs, as well as the entire body and 

 head, in the typical members of this genus, renders the generic 

 reference of camancha decidedly doubtful, particularly as the 

 clypeus, the peculiar form of which is very significant in the present 

 genus, seems to diverge quite obviously from the cavifrons type. 

 The resemblance of the species to certain forms of Cyclocephala is 

 noted by the author. All the specimens of this genus that I have 

 seen are apparently of one sex, probably male; the female must 

 be rather rare in collections. No allusion to the female is made 

 by Mr. Bates in describing carinifrons. The inner or thicker 

 claw of the anterior tarsi is feebly arcuate, gradually acutely pointed 

 and, near the abruptly, deeply constricted base, is angularly 

 subprominent beneath. 



Anomalepta n. gen. 



In this genus, which is evidently allied rather closely to the 

 preceding, the body is very small in size and the integuments
