Pinal Mountains, Arizona, two specimens from Mr. Chas. Palm in 

 the Museum of the Brooklyn Institute. 



I'o be placed near sanguinicoilis \n Leconte's table from which the 

 larger size, more robust form blue elytra with yellow epipleurse will 

 readily distinguish it. 



Cryptocephalus atrofasciatus Jacoby, 



Originally described from Mexico, Mr. Palm has specimens of this 

 variable species from Globe, Arizona. The specimens with pale 

 elytra and fulvous bands resemble superficially fiilguratits, but are 

 larger, more elongate and thorax distinctly punctate. The typical 

 form has the elytra with three undulated black bands, but these bands 

 become in some specimens more or less longitudinally confluent, of 

 which the most extreme form which I have seen has the elytra black, 

 with a few pale spots at base, two very small ones at apical third and 

 the apex narrowly yellow, which goes even a little further than the 

 variations observed by Mr. Jacoby. 



Cryptocephalus quatuordecimpustulatus Suffrian. 



Occurred frequently I believe on Acacia flexicaiilis in Brownsville, 

 Texas. It is about 3 mm. long, yellow, thorax nearly impunctate, 

 elytra with striae of not deeply impressed punctures, scutellar stria 

 absent, sutural strife short, obsolete at base, first stria united with the 

 second slightly below the middle, joining the fourth at apex, fifth and 

 sixth disconnected at middle, the lower part has the two striae united 

 at base and apex, the upper part of the two striae is united at its apex 

 by an oblique row of punctures, leaving between the two parts a 

 slightly raised smooth space, the seventh and marginal striae entire ; 

 the yellow color is divided on each elytron by brown bands into eight 

 large spots, three at base of which the marginal spot is the smallest, 

 two below these, then again two and at apex one. Abdominal seg- 

 ments somewhat coarsely and sparsely punctate. 



Cryptocephalus brunneovittatus, new species. 



Light yellow to fulvous, elytra with seven well defined regular stria;, first stria ab- 

 breviated at middle, scutellar striae long, obliterated at base, alternate intervals more or 

 less fulvous brown or rarely black. Head coarsely and sparsely punctured, an impressed 

 median line not reaching the clypeal suture ; eyes large elongate, broadly emarginate 

 inside, antennae reaching behind the middle. Thorax shining, convex, broader than 

 long, sides slightly arcuate, narrowing to apex, hind angles prolonged, base arcuate, 

 disk extremely finely punctured, with a few larger punctures intermixed, color yellow 

 or fulvous, paler at base. Elytra about twice as long as thorax with regular rows of
