MAY, 1910. NOTES ON SOME CLERID.E WOLCOTT. 345 



rows on each elytron smaller and more sparsely placed than those of 

 the outer rows; three sutural intervals more than twice as wide as 

 punctures; the lateral intervals slightly narrower than the punctures; 

 intervals flat, rather sparsely and finely but distinctly punctate. 

 Pro-, meso- and metasternum finely, sparsely punctate; abdomen 

 more finely and densely punctate. Legs pale yellowish, the femora at 

 apex with faint infuscate cloud. Length 7.9-8.8 millim. 



Male. Fifth ventral segment broadly but very feebly emarginate ; 

 sixth ventral with sides rounded, narrowly and feebly arcuate-trun- 

 cate at apex; last dorsal as long as broad, much larger than last ven- 

 tral, sides narrowing to apex, which is nearly truncate. (PI. VI, fig. 5.) 



Female. Fifth ventral feebly sinuate at apex; sixth ventral short, 

 broad, rounded, slightly smaller and shorter than last dorsal, which is 

 semicircular. (PI. VI, fig. 6.) 



Closely related to l&vicollis Schaef., but differs from that species 

 by the secondary sexual characters of the abdomen, somewhat longer 

 antennal joints, the second joint however being shorter, the thorax 

 not infuscate at the sides and the apex of elytra entirely pale. From 

 xanti, to which it is also allied, it may be separated by the different 

 form of the terminal segments of abdomen, the presence of an ante- 

 scutellar impression, the elytral intervals rather more densely punc- 

 tate and the two marginal rows of elytral punctures extending well 

 beyond the middle. 



Escondido, New Mexico, August 30. Two specimens. Type in 

 in collection of Prof . H. F, Wickham. 



Cymatodera Isabel lee sp. nov. 



Slender, pale-honey yellow; head, antenna, apex and base of 

 thorax, narrowly, and a large rounded sutural maculation at apical 

 one-third very slightly darker, being pale yellowish testaceous in 

 color; moderately pubescent and shining. Head rather coarsely, 

 vertex densely, front more sparsely punctate; eyes moderately 

 prominent. Antennae half as long as body; joints two and three 

 short, equal, conical, together not longer than joint four; joints four 

 to ten elongate, subequal in length, feebly serrate; joint eleven, one- 

 third longer than tenth. Thorax one-third longer than wide at apex ; 

 base narrower than apex, subapical constriction moderate: at basal 

 third strongly compressed; no ante-scutellar impression; surface 

 very finely, sparsely rugulose. Scutellum transversely oval. Elytra 

 nearly twice as wide as base of thorax ; humeri distinct ; sides parallel , 

 apices nearly conjointly rounded, the sutural angles slightly rounded;
