March, 1906.J SCHAEFFER : NOTES ON THE GENUS AnOMALA. 3 



Above, below and legs more or less metallic green, thorax in one 

 specimen with a slight coppery tinge, striae of elytra impressed and 

 distinctly punctate, intervals nearly equal, convex, finely punctate ; 

 pygidium coarsely and in some parts confluently punctate ; clypeus 

 rounded and moderately reflexed ; mesosternum broader between the 

 coxae than in binotata Gyll., which it resembles in form, but is slightly 

 larger. One specimen shows on the elytra a few dark testaceous 

 streaks. 

 Anomala luteipennis Leconte. 



Proc. Acad. Nat. Sc. Phil., vol. VII, p. 80. 



This name is wrongly applied by Dr. Horn and others to the pale 

 specimens of binotata Gyll. from Texas and Arizona. Dr. Leconte 

 describes the pygidium as being " parcius sat grosse punctatus," 

 which is in binotata invariably finely rugose. Some of the pale forms 

 of an Anomala which I took near Brownsville, Texas, agree in every 

 respect with Dr. Leconte's description, also nearly with the locality; 

 these are connected by intermediate specimens from Virginia and 

 Texas with flavipennis Burm. 

 Anomala peninsularis, new species. 



Form of binotata Gyll., shining, testaceous, head, thorax, suture, margin and 

 sides at base of elytra, as also the legs, reddish. Head coarsely and densely punc- 

 tate, clypeus transverse, apex subtruncate, angles rounded, margin moderately 

 reflexed, clypeal suture distinct. Thorax shining, sparsely punctate, convex, sides 

 slightly arcuate, hind angles rounded, front angles not prominent. Scutellum 

 coarsely punctate. Elytra widening towards apex, intervals clearly defined and 

 alternately wider, the wider intervals flat, irregularly punctate, the cosUe (narrow 

 intervals) slightly convex and almost impunctate. Metasternum clothed with moder- 

 ate, long hairs, abdomen shining and sparsely punctate ; pygidium transverse, subcon- 

 fluently punctate, the punctures not deeply impressed. Front tibiee bidentate, the 

 apical tooth elongate and slightly curved, the upper tooth prominent but obtuse, the 

 larger tarsal claw cleft at tip, the upper portion finer and shorter than the lower in 

 the male, equal in the female ; outer claw of middle tarsi cleft, the upper portion 

 nearly as long as the lower, but narrower. Length, II mm. ; width 7 mm., male. 

 Length, 13 mm., width 7 mm., female. 



Santa Rosa, Lower California, male and female, collected by Mr. 

 Gustav Beyer, to whom I am greatly indebted for this as well as other 

 interesting species. 

 Anomala ludoviciana, new species. 



Form of binotata Gyll. but smaller, thorax and elytra more coarsely punctured, 

 bead, thorax and legs dark rufous, the thorax with slight metallic luster and elytra 

 with or without darker spots. Head coarsely punctate in front, more finer and
