larger, deeper and much more distinct, becoming smaller and closer 

 about the brownish lateral spot; scutellum much smaller than in 

 cavifrons; elytra nearly a third longer than wide, otherwise as in 

 cavifrons but very shining, the broadly and moderately impressed 

 striae still more obsoletely and very vaguely punctate; pygidium 

 sparsely, feebly and very indefinitely sculptured, convex and shining; 

 hind femora more slender. Length (cf) 11.2 mm.; width 6.0 mm.

Body relatively much shorter and broader than in any of the preceding, 

 pale testaceo-flavate throughout, shining; head and concave clypeus 

 nearly as in cavifrons, the sculpture a little stronger; eyes not quite 

 so large or prominent; antennal club in the type evidently longer 

 than the entire stem; prothorax much shorter and more transverse, 

 fully twice as wide as long, the sides rounded, distinctly converging 

 basally viewed from above, the basal angles very obtuse and 

 rounded; basal bead strong and entire, the lobe moderate, the 

 apex subtruncate; surface convex, finely, sparsely punctate, a 

 little more closely and strongly laterad; scutellum finely, feebly and 

 remotely punctulate; elytra evidently wider than the prothorax, 

 barely visibly longer than wide, the nine or ten striae deeply im- 

 pressed, the punctures obsolete except toward the sides, where they 

 are moderately developed, as also in the confused line along the 

 middle of the flatter second interval; intervals impunctate; pygidium 

 finely, very feebly and remotely punctulate, the punctures minutely 

 and transversely sublineiform; legs and under surface nearly as in 

 cavifrons. Length (cf ) 10.0 mm.; width 5.7 mm. Texas. 



transversa n. sp. 



Body oblong-ovate, wholly flavo-testaceous, shining; head very densely 

 punctato-scabrous, the vertex smoother; clypeus deflexed, rather 

 narrowly subquadrate, the anterior angles obtuse, the margin 

 greatly reflexed, the frontal suture cariniform; prothorax short, 

 widest a little before the middle, the sides broadly rounded, the basal 

 margin entire; surface moderately densely and strongly punctate; 

 elytra more strongly sculptured than in cavifrons, with ten punc- 

 tured striae, 1-7 of which are deeply, and the 3 lateral slightly, 

 impressed; three costaa slightly convex; second interval rather wider, 

 with the basal half confusedly, subbiseriately punctate; pygidium 

 convex, shining, sparsely punctate; mesosternum rather narrow, 

 declivous and flat; tarsal claws and antennae nearly as in cavifrons. 

 Length 13 mm. Mexico (Chihuahua City). [Anomala carinifrons

5 Similar to cavifrons but distinguishable by the punctured elytral 

 intervals and form of the prothorax, yellowish-testaceous, the 

 coloration and lustre as in camancha but somewhat more shining; 

 clypeus nearly as in cavifrons, the suture carinate; prothorax with 

 the sides slightly diverging posteriorly, the hind angles somewhat 

 everted; punctures rather fine and sparse; elytral striae evidently 

 punctured, the punctures of the intervals apparently distinct but 

 less evident than in camancha, the second interval with an irregular
