'File three specimens of tliis species examined were all females, .so 
that I am unable to state the sexual differences. They show no 
variation. 
This species resembles Lecontel (subfasciatus) so closely, that I 
found it mixed with that s[)ecies in my own and another cabinet. 
The form of the prosternal lobe will, however, separate them at once. 
Suiierficially, the sculpture of the middle of the thorax will distin- 
guish them. In this species there is a straight depression, Avhile in 
Lecontel there are two depressions, anterior and posterior united by 
a narrower depressed space. 
Hab. — Texas, no special region known. 
A. paliliaeolliN n. sp. — Moderately elongate, piceoiis, with bronzed surface 
lustre, moderately shining, each elytron with three pube.scent spots as in fallax. 
.\ntemiiE piceous, slightly seneous, not reaching the middle of the thorax, serrate 
from the fifth joint; head convex, with a slight occipital impression, front rather 
coarsely punctate, occiput strigose. Thorax wider than long, sides feebly arcuate, 
sinuate in front of the hind angles, which are rectangular and i-ather feebly 
carinate, margin straight, scarcely deflexed in front; disc convex, without me- 
dian imiiression, lateral depressions feeble, surface very obliquely strigose, but 
not closely; scutellum transversely carinate; elytra feebly sinuate at sides, 
slightly broader behind the middle then obliquely narrowed to apex, a])ices ob- 
liquely rounded, serrulate ; disc slightly depressed, basal fovea* feeble, on each 
side three pubescent spots, as in fallax; body beneath as abf>ve : prosternal lobe 
obtusely rounded, iutercoxal ju-ocess relatively broad, truncate at tip, propleurse 
punctate; metasternum at sides roughly punctate and substrigose. Abdomen 
spar.sely punctate, strigose at sides of first two segments, vertical portion of first 
segment densely pubescent with white; pygidium spar.sely punctate, feebly 
carinate; claw's broadly toothed. Length .12 — .18 inch.; 3 — 4.5 mm. 
Male . — Head very densely punctate, cupreous. Prosternum 
sparsely pubescent; first two ventral segments impressed at middle, 
more deejily on the first. 
Female . — Front less punctate, teneous. Prosternum scarcely pu- 
bescent ; ventral segments simple. 
The numerous specimens examined are constant in appearance, 
varying only in size. 
There are but few species so obliquely strigose ou the thorax as 
this one, the strigosity beginning at the middle and running diago- 
nally forward, Tho.se so sculptured are I'eadily known by their 
structural characters. 
Hab . — Western Texas and southern Arizona (Morrison). 
•A. Felix n. sp. — Form moderately robust, suhcyliudrical, slightly depressed, 
cupreo-seueous, sides of thorax and vitta on each elyti'on clothed with whitish
