from Venezuela, collected by George K. Cherrie. In this and the 

 next form the elytra may be black or bluish. 



The variety omogera is black with a subtriangular yellow basal 

 spot which extends along the base to the lateral margin, the latter is 

 never entirely pale, but black in about apical half or more. As far as 

 known this occurs only in Lower California. 



Lema notativentris new species. 



Similar in color, form and sculpture to nigrovittata Guer. but the lateral 

 black vitta of each elytron is not situated close to the lateral margin but be- 

 tween the sixth and eighth dorsal row of punctures; the black thoracic spot 

 is situated in the lateral depression and scarcely visible from above ; head 

 black, also upper edge of femora, tibiae and tarsi ; prosternum largely, meso- 

 sternum and metasternum entirely black; abdomen pale except a rounded, 

 black spot, situated at middle of the basal margin of the first four ventral 

 segments. Length 5.5 mm. 



Huach. Mts., Arizona. 



This species looks superficially so much like trilineata or the less 

 heavily marked forms of nigrovittata that I did not recognize it in the 

 field and only lately, in going over some unmounted material I found 

 a few specimens pasted on cards with specimens of nigrovittata from 

 the same locality. 



Anomoea nitidicollis new species. 



Above reddish-yellow, elytra with suture, a common post-median sutural 

 spot, an elongated spot on lateral margin about middle and lateral margin, 

 from about middle to apex, black; legs, meso and metasternum black. Head 

 smooth, shining, without punctures and scarcely rugose in front. Prothorax 

 strongly transverse ; lateral margin arcuate, gradually narrowing to apex from 

 a little below middle to apex ; apical and basal angles^, the latter more strongly, 

 rounded ; surface very shining and impunctate. Scutellum black, with a few 

 moderately coarse punctures and fine pale hairs in basal half. Elytra less 

 shining than the prothorax, sparsely punctate, punctures confused but showing 

 a tendency to become regular, especially near suture; metasternum and 

 abdomen finely and moderately closely punctate and closely pubescent with 

 greyish-white hairs. Length 9.75 mm. 



Texas. 



A single specimen, a female, in the Dietz collection which prob- 

 ably came from New Braunfels, Tex.
