AGRABIA ANISOCALVIA. 



73 



Genus AGRABIA Casey. 

 3070. Agrabia cyanoptera Mulsant. 



Distribution: Mexico, New Mexico and Arizona. 



While the peculiar blue color is something quite different from its allies, 

 the pronotal pattern (fig. 78) points to a relationship with Neoharmonia. 

 It is probable that its blue color is a feature of relatively recent acqui- 

 sition.

There is in the Museum of Comparative Zoology a very large series of 

 the beetles of this species, or at least of this genus, collected by Mr. H E. 

 Morse, at Lake Champlain. At the time of my visit to the museum they 

 could not be found. Until this much-needed series can be carefully 

 studied a revision of this genus is inadvisable. All the patterns are there- 

 fore given in fig. 79, with no attempt to define their status. Some are 

 said to exist in one sex only, but this requires investigation.
