336 MEMOIRS ON THE COLEOPTERA 



long and pointed, the two lower very long, spiniform, somewhat 

 deflexed and more distant than the upper two; hind tarsi rather 

 long and slender, longer than the tibiae in the male. Length (cf 9 ) 

 9.5-11.5 mm.; width 5.5-6.6 mm. Utah (?). [Cetonia vestita Say.] 



vestita Say 



The female has three catenulated double lines in the second 

 interval on the elytra, while the male only has two and, in the 

 former sex, the outer costa is much feebler and less continuous than 

 in the other sex; there are also other sexual differences of more or 

 less aberrant nature; the punctures of the scutellum, for example, 

 are gathered in a small dense cluster at each side of the base in the 

 male, but are larger and distributed in a regular line parallel to 

 each side throughout the length in the female. On comparing the 

 above described examples of vestita with my single female of the 

 European hirta, the latter is seen at once to be rather less elongate, 

 of a deeper and less grayish black and much less alutaceous, with 

 the punctures of the scutellum large and loosely aggregated through- 

 out nearly basal half, all the tarsi shorter though even more slender, 

 and the tomentose spots of the elytra are less widely separated and 

 in the form of finer, more undulated transverse lines. There cannot 

 be much doubt that these Utah specimens represent a species dif- 

 ferent from that exemplified by my single European example of 

 hirta, and, although it seems extraordinary that a species undoubt- 

 edly closely allied to hirta should occur in western North America, 

 it must be borne in mind that the geographic range of Tropinota in 

 the palaearctic fauna is very extended. One weak point in this 

 case is the fact that vestita, if truly occurring in Utah, should be so 

 rare as to have been overlooked by all recent collectors. 



Anatropis n. gen. 



The clypeus in this genus is exactly as in the preceding, showing 

 that, at any rate, the peculiar Tropinota type of clypeus, which 

 differs distinctly from any of the numerous types of Euphoria, is 

 not a stranger to North America in an endemic sense. The general 

 features of the body are, however, in the Euphoria verticalis of 

 Horn, entirely different, not only from Tropinota, but from any 

 other type, not only of Euphoria but of Stephanucha, with which it 

 has no affinity whatever. I have in my collection but a single 

 female example, which may be described as follows:
