MAY, 1910. NOTES ON SOME CLERID^E WOLCOTT. 349 



Santa Rita Mountains, Arizona. One specimen (Wickham). 

 Type in cabinet of Prof. Wickham. 



Cymalodera horni sp. nov. 



Cymatodera calif ornica% Horn, $ , Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc., v 

 1876, p. 225, pi. i, fig. 9. 



Mr. Charles Schaeffer (Sci. Bull. Brookl. Inst. Arts and Sci., 

 Vol. i, no. 7, 1905, p. 152) -has called attention to the fact that what 

 Dr. Horn described and figured as the abdominal characters of the 

 male of californica are really those of the female, and further states 

 that the female described by Dr. Horn was very likely a different 

 species. The type of californica as first described (Trans. Amer. 

 Ent. Soc., Aug., 1868, p. 134) is what was later erroneously described 

 as the male; this leaves unnamed the other species, also represented 

 by the female, and the name horni is here proposed for it. 



The female of horni differs from both sexes of californica in having 

 the elytral apices rounded, the sutural angle not prolonged and the 

 different sexual characters, whereas in californica the elytral apices 

 are truncate and the sutural angles are often prolonged, the sexual 

 characters being also different, as figured by Dr. Horn, (t. c. pi. i, 

 n g- 9> 9 ) In the description the sixth ventral is described as "semi- 

 circular, apex rounded," but the apex is really truncate as in the 

 figure. The male of horni is unknown to the writer. Length 21 

 millim.
