sparser on the occiput, clypeus subtruncate in front, angles rounded, margin moder- 

 ately reflexed, clypeal suture distinct. Thorax transverse, narrowing to the front from 

 a little before middle, nearly straight behind, basal angles rounded, front angles 

 prominent, surface relatively coarsely punctate, but not densely. Scutellum coarsely 

 punctate. Elytra slightly broadening towards apex, punctate striate, the punctures 

 dark and here and there confluent, intervals flat, alternately wider, the subsutural 

 coarsely and irregularly punctate, the others with an irregular row of punctures, the 

 costae (smaller intervals) slightly convex and not punctate, the disk more or less 

 transversely rugose. Pygidium finely rugose as in binotala. Metasternum sparsely 

 clothed with not very long hairs; abdomen sparsely punctate with moderately coarse 

 but not deeply impressed punctures. Front tibiae bidentate, the larger claw cleft at 

 tip, the upper portion shorter and much narrower than the lower ; intermediate claw 

 cleft with the upper portion finer than the lower, but nearly as long. Length 9.50 

 mm. ; width 5.25 mm. 



Vowell's Mill, Louisiana, Mr. Charles W. Leng, to whom I am in- 

 debted for the specimens. 



This species is closely related to binotata Gyll. but differs from 

 that by being smaller, the prothorax and elytra more coarsely punctate, 

 and the upper portion of the cleft claw being much finer and shorter. 

 With this species I place at present some specimens from Kansas re- 

 ceived from Prof. Snow as binotata var., which have the head, thorax, 

 scutellum and legs dark-green, but which otherwise agree with the 

 Louisiana specimens. Similar variations are seen in ftavipennis Burm. 

 Anomala carinifrons Bates.

This species is mentioned by Bates to occur in our fauna from 

 a specimen collected by Morrison in Southern Arizona. I have two 

 specimens from Arizona which answer the description, one of them 

 was collected by my brother in Bisbee. It is larger and more robust 

 than cavifrons Lee, the striae are faintly but distinctly punctured, the 

 head and thorax also distinctly punctured and the surface is shining, 

 while it is semiopaque in cavifrons Lee.

In the remarks following the description of semilivida Lee, Dr. 

 Horn * mentioned some darker specimens, which are the true minuta 

 Burin. Dr. Ohaus' good description f of the type saved me from 

 making a synonym, as I had these specimens already labelled with a
