New Mexico, one male in collection Dietz. 



The formation of the male claws brings this species near parvula 

 which it otherwise resembles in color, thoracic markings and form, but 

 is larger, has a deeply excavated clypeus and the elytral intervals are 

 different. 

 Anomala flavilla Bates. 



Biol. Cent. Am., vol. II, pt. 2, p. 226, tab. XII, fig. 18. 



Several specimens of this Mexican species, collected in Ehrenberg, 

 Arizona were received from Mr. George Franck. 



It is slightly more elongate than flavipennis Burm., the color is 

 testaceous, with two apical thoracic spots and suture black ; the alter- 

 nate elytral intervals broader, not convex, the subsutural coarsely and 

 irregularly punctate, the others more sparse and finer ; the two apical 

 thoracic dark spots extend from apex to middle, broader at the latter 

 point and narrowing to apex ; the front tibice are tridentate and the 

 outer claws of the front and middle tibife are cleft. Dr. Ohaus 

 records also dark-colored specimens from Mexico, but all those from 

 Arizona are pale. 

 Anomala centralis Leconte. 



New species N. Am. Col., 1863, p. 78. 



Through the kindness of Mr. G. Beyer I received some typical 

 specimens of this species, collected by him in Lower California. The 

 Arizona specimens referred to this species by Dr. Horn and standing 

 in most collections as that species, are a different thing and in my 

 opinion only an extreme variation of inconstans Burm. (lurida of our 

 list) ; centralis is on the average smaller and slightly more parallel, 

 with the hind tibite relatively shorter and broader. Of inconstans I 

 have taken this year quite a number of specimens, but more of the 

 pale than of the darker form. 

 Anomala innuba Fabricius. 



Mant. Ins. I, p. 22. 



This is the species called in all of our collections minuta Fab. The 

 correction of this error is due to Dr. Fr. Ohaus, who has seen the 

 type. The true minuta will be referred to later. 

 Anomala polychalca Bates. 



Biol. Cent. Am., vol. IT, pt. 2, p. 236. 



I refer a few specimens taken at light near Brownsville, Texas, to 

 this species or rather variety of cincta Say.
