RUTELIN/E 35 



coarser transverse rugae; pygidium similar; sterna similarly sub- 

 glabrous and coarsely punctured laterad. Length (cf) 7.8 mm.: 



width 4.0 mm. Florida piceola n. subsp. 



Body sensibly larger and stouter than in innuba, deep shining black as a 

 rule, the abdomen and legs more or less piceo-rufous; in two male 

 specimens, however, the pronotum is flavate along the sides and 

 along the base medially and the elytra wholly pale brownish-flavate, 

 the longitudinal subexternal darker, cloud-like shadings extremely 

 feeble, terminating on the subapical umbo in a rounded darker spot as 

 in uudulata; head black and sparsely punctate, the clypeus pallid; 

 median parts of the front more or less concave and densely punctato- 

 rugose like the clypeus, which is transverse, almost semicircular and 

 with abruptly but narrowly reflexed edges; antennal club (cf) 

 almost as long as the entire stem, or ( 9 ) very much smaller, not 

 longer than the five preceding joints; prothorax not differing so much 

 sexually as in innuba, not quite twice as wide as long, the sides 

 broadly rounded, subparallel, becoming more rounded and con- 

 vergent in nearly apical half; apex and base nearly as in innuba, the 

 punctures strong but sparse, not much closer though a little stronger 

 laterad; scutellum punctured like the pronotum but more closely, 

 though very irregularly; elytra with close-set, even and barely at 

 all impressed series of moderate but deep punctures, the second 

 interval very broad and confusedly though not densely and not 

 quite so strongly punctate throughout; pygidium with well separ- 

 ated but transversely confluent, strong and wavy scratches; anterior 

 tarsal claws nearly as in innuba in both sexes. Length (cf 9 ) 

 7.5-8.0 mm.; width 4.0-4.4 mm. Kansas (Medora, Onaga and' 

 Benedict). Eight males and one female medorensis n. sp. 



I have placed peninsularis Schf. near flavipennis, as this is the 

 disposition made of it by Mr. Schaeffer in his table of Anomala 

 species (Journ. N. Y. Ent. Soc., 1907, p. 70), but have not seen any 

 representative; the female is much larger than the male, while in 

 flavipennis my material seems to show that the female is distinctly 

 smaller, narrower and more cylindrical than the male. Mr. 

 Schaeffer identifies the species named nimbosa above, with inconstans 

 Burm., but it is much smaller and differs in the dentition of the 

 anterior tibiae; in describing inconstans, Burmeister uses this 

 language in referring to the anterior tibiae: "an den schmaleren 

 Vorderschienen ist keine spur eines dritten Zahnes sichtbar"; in 

 both sexes of nimbosa the anterior tibiae have two teeth on the 

 external margin, apart from the apical process, which ought not 

 really be called a tooth in any instance, the upper very short and 

 obtuse but always observable. It was thought by Mr. Schaeffer 

 that the Arizona species described above under the name papagoana,
