MISCELLANEOUS NOTES AND NEW SPECIES 363 



unevenly embossed narrow smooth chevron; prothorax nearly as in 

 the two preceding but with the densely punctate median channel 

 broader and shallower; elytra in outline nearly as in ocular is but 

 narrower, the depressed areas smaller, more widely separated and 

 with their fine punctures much less dense ; there are two or three before 

 the middle, others in a slightly post-median transverse series and 

 two or three more elongate and more posterior; the striae are fine and 

 rather sharply incised, the subserial punctures of the intervals 

 distinct; abdomen densely punctate, sparsely medially toward base 

 only. Length 8.6 mm.; width 2.7 mm. Pennsylvania. 



gracilipes Mels. 



Species of this group seem to be rather numerous, though not 

 abundant individually, in the nearctic regions, and it is highly prob- 

 able that Spectralia will have to be advanced to generic rank. 



CERAMBYCID^: 



A number of interesting Cerambycids have been received of late 

 and it seems fitting to describe them at the present opportunity. 



Aneflomorpha imbellis n. sp. Slender and rather shining, pale rufo- 

 testaceous, the head and prothorax of slightly darker tint; pubescence 

 pale, rather long but not dense, inclined; head rather wider than the 

 prothorax, with convex and coarsely faceted eyes; antennae long and 

 slender, extending a little beyond the elytra, completely devoid of spines; 

 prothorax but little longer than wide, the sides subprominent visibly 

 behind the middle; surface very coarsely, closely punctate, with a long 

 smooth irregular median line which is much abbreviated anteriorly and 

 not quite attaining the base; elytra two-fifths wider than the prothorax 

 and about four times as long, the sides subparallel, expanding slightly 

 toward base, rapidly rounding at apex, without trace of truncature, to 

 the sutural angles, which are produced, dentiform and prominent but 

 not spiniform; surface with coarse, close-set punctures, becoming gradu- 

 ally fine apically; under surface finely, not densely punctate throughout 

 and with rather finer hairs; femora mutic, the legs slender. Length 

 13-5 mm.; width 2.7 mm. California (San Diego), Ricksecker. 



Readily distinguishable from any other known species by the 

 completely unarmed antennae, and, from all except unispinosa, in 

 the form of the elytral apices. I also have specimens agreeing very 

 well with the description of linearis Lee., taken by Mr. Ricksecker 

 at San Diego; the type locality is Tejon. 



The form described by the writer under the name Hypermallus 

 externus (Mem. Col. Ill, p. 300) is not even of varietal value; it may 

 be united with incertus as a synonym; the following is, however, a 

 distinct species allied to incertus:
