12. (Anomalon) Aplomerus lineatulus (Say). 



Anomalon lineatulus Say, Boston Journ. Nat. Hist., vol. 1, 1835, p. 244 (Leconte 



ed., vol. 2, p. 699). 

 Aplomerus j out si Rohwer, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 57, 1920, p. 454. 



Say's statement that "This has some resemblance to mellipes" 

 at once suggests Aplomerus^ the male of which has not as yet 

 been described. A male offoutsi Rohwer, unfortunately with- 

 out the head, but reared by J. C. Bridwell with the female at 

 Baldwin, Kansas, has recently been received from Mr. Bridwell. 

 This specimen agrees perfectly with Say's description and is 

 undoubtedly his species. 



Neotype. The above male specimen. 



13. (Anomalon) Odontomerus mellipes (Say). 



Anomalon mellipes Say, Contrib. Maclur. Lye. Phila., vol. 1, 1828, p. 74 (Leconte 

 ed., vol. 1, p. 378); Say, Boston Journ. Nat. Hist., vol. 1, 1835, p. 242 (Leconte 

 ed., vol. 2, p. 697).

Odontomerus errans Rohwer, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 45, 1913, p. 360. 



Odontomerus mellipes Bradley, Bull. Brooklyn Ent. Soc., vol. 13, 1918, p. 104; 

 Rohwer, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 57, 1920, p. 458. 



14. (Anomalon) Clistopyga recurva (Say). 



Anomalon recurvus Say, Boston Journ. Nat. Hist., vol. 1, 1835, p. 243 (Leconte 



ed., vol. 2, p. 698). 

 Clistopyga annulipes Cresson, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., vol. 3, 1870, p. 150. 



The only ways in which any of the National Museum speci- 

 mens of annulipes disagree with Say's description are in size and 

 in the color of the mesosternum and mesopleura. Both of these 

 characters are very variable, several of the specimens being fully 

 as small as Say's type and some almost lacking the red on the 

 thorax.

 N. Caudell. 



15. (Anomalon) Cylloceria sexlineata (Say). 



Anomalon sexlineata Say, Contrib. Maclur. Lye. Phila., vol. 1, 1828, p. 74 



(Leconte ed., vol. 1, p. 378). 

 Lampronota sexcarinata Davis, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., vol. 22, 1895, p. 30. 



Davis's species agrees so exactly with Say's description that 

 it seems that the length (three twentieths of an inch) given by 

 Say must be a misprint for three tenths of an inch.

 West Virginia, by S. A. Rohwer.
