Enoclerus palmii Schaeffcr 



Clerus palinii tSchaei'fcr, Journ. X. Y. Eiit. Soc, xn, p. 218, 1904. 



This species, described from one specimen, was known from 

 Arizona (Senator), only. It is known to me from Las Vegas 

 and Gallup, New Mexico, and just recently Mr. Warren Knaus 

 sent me for determination a series of four specimens Ijearing 

 labels reading as follows: — "Coal Creek Canon, Cedar City, 

 Utah, 6500 ft. July 25, '21. Knaus, Nininger, Hoover." This 

 series is remarkaljly uniform in size, form, color and pattern of 

 elytral fascia. 



Serriger reichei .Spinola 



Scrrigvr reichei Spinola, Mon. Clcritcs, p. 171, pi. xii, fifz;. 3, 1844. 

 Aulicus antennatus Schaeffer, Proc. V. S. Xat. Mu.^., lix, p. 158, 1921. 



If the writer has correctly identified Mr. Schaeffer's species, 

 it is the same as Serriger reichei, a genus and species which from 

 the time of the appearance of the original description seem to 

 have remained unknown to all writers, including the great savant 

 Lacordaire, Although it was described from Reiche's collection 

 as from "Le ]\Iexique, " it was entirely unknown to the Rev. H. 

 S. Gorliam, author of that portion of the Biologia Centrali- 

 Americana which deals with the family Cleridae, but he re- 

 marks that Serriger is a genus about which there is room for 

 a good deal of doubt. In 1917, in rearranging a portion of my 

 Clcrid material, this species was recognized by me, mixed amongst 

 some Aulicus species, where it had been placed without i)ro])er 

 study being given to it. The specimen at hand is a male from 

 "So. Cal." The form, color and color i)att(n-n, sculpture and 

 size agree so well with Si)inola's description and figure that the 

 present specijnen might be said to fit i)(M-f(H'tly in every detail. 

 There is, however, a slight difference in tlie stiucture of tiic 

 antennae; the fifth joint, in the d(>tail drawing accompanying th(> 

 figure, is represented as rather strongly dihiled, in my s])ecimen 

 it is scarcely discernibly dilated. It is a well eslablisluMl fact 

 that quite a few of the detail figures given in llic " AIon()graphi(>" 

 are more or less inaccurate, sometimes even as to the number
