CRYPTOCEPHALUS IN AMERICA NORTH OF MEXICO 83 



to distinct transverse, undulating bands, first at basal third, second 

 just behind middle; bands often extending side to side, usually very 

 vague or incomplete at about middle. With nine rows of punctures, 

 rows six, seven, and eight more or less confused, sometimes entwined 

 or abbreviated, latter two rows often interconnected; punctures as 

 large, dense as usual, finer at elytra! apex; inner and outer rows 

 distinct at apex, often clearly meeting, sometimes disconnected. 



Prosternum: Anterior margin in both sexes produced ventrally into 

 a distinct, broad lobe. 



Length: 5.0 to 6.7 mm. 



Discussion. — Two female specimens in the U.S. National Museum 

 bear the red museum cotype labels and the type number 42309. One 

 bears the data "Palmerly Cochise Co., VII.24 Ariz.," the other speci- 

 men has the data "Huach Mts. VII. 12 Ariz." In the original descrip- 

 tion the locality of collection is given only as Huachuca Mountains, 

 Arizona; Schaeffer made no mention of the number of specimens from 

 which he described the species. Types of other of SchaeflFer's species 

 (as s. simulans and umhonatus) bear the locality of collection as 

 Palmerly, Cochise County, Arizona; the locality of collection in their 

 original descriptions is given as Huachuca Mountains. The type 

 specimen of quercus bearing the data "Huach Mts." I hereby designate 

 lectotype. 



Distribution. — The six specimens examined are aU from Arizona.

Pronotura: Orange to light or deep red throughout; punctation 

 dual, larger punctures minute to small, often coarse. 



Elytra: Dark brown to (usually) black throughout; with eight rows 

 of punctures, fifth sometimes, sixth and seventh nearly always con- 

 fused, latter two rows sometimes reduced; punctures as large, dense 

 as usual, much finer at elytral apex; inner and outer rows usually 

 distinct at apex, often clearly meeting. 



Prosternum: Anterior margin in male distinctly produced downward 

 into a more or less pointed lobe; anterior margin in female produced 

 into a more or less distinct lobe. 



Length: 3.2 to 4.9 mm. 

 Discussion. — One specimen in the collection was taken from Purshia 

 tridentata DC. ("Pursnia tridentata") . 



Beller and Hatch (1932, p. 137) record this species as^ mainly 

 occurring on Salix, but also on blackberries, roses, strawberries, wild 

 licorice, and prunes.
