thorax about twice as wide as long, sides feebly arcuate; posterior angles 

 broadly rounded, anterior angles indistinct, rounded ; disk slightly uneven, 

 punctuation very fine and with some coarser punctures at sides and anteriorly 

 intermixed. Elytra moderately coarsely and irregularly punctate ; punctures 

 near apex more or less obliterated; intervals very finely punctulate. Under- 

 side moderately densely clothed with white hairs. Length 4.5 mm. 



Huachuca Mts., Arizona. 



This species varies a little. The front tibiae are occasionally 

 entirely black ; the prothorax black or with more or less distinct, 

 though obscure reddish patches ; the lateral elytral red spot, which 

 never extends down as far as the middle, is towards its apex more or 

 less dilated and extends in some specimens to the suture, but leaving 

 the scutellar region dark blue. 



This is possibly only a local form of A. militaris, Lee, but it is of 

 a little more elongate form and without the red apical spot on each 

 elytron. I have seen about eighteen specimens but while the red 

 humeral spot is very variable in size in none of these is any indication 

 of an apical spot. 



Anomcca humerigera, described from a single female from Mexico 

 by Lacordine, seems to be very close to this, but the elytra in the 

 Arizona specimens are not finely alutaceous. A. arizonica, and very 

 likely militaris and humerigera, possibly belong in Lacordarie's sub- 

 genus Gynandrophthalma as the two sexes are nearly alike. In the 

 subgenus Anomcca the males generally differ very much from the 

 females in the form of head, prothorax, elytra, anterior tibiae and 

 often greatly in coloration. 



Chlamys memnonia Lac. 



In Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. XX, p. 476, Mr. Linell deals at 

 length with this species, which he recorded from Brownsville and 

 San Diego, Texas, and from southern Arizona. From his remarks 

 it is evident that the Arizona specimens differ from those taken in 

 Texas but he was unable to find any specific characters to separate 

 them and considered them all one variable species. 



I have this species from Brownsville and New Braunfels, Texas, 

 and have also taken specimens in the Huach. Mts., Ariz. However, 

 the specimens from Arizona differ sufficiently from those taken in 

 Texas to entitle them to a name.
