By description knausii is very close to sociatus, near which it has 

 to be placed, but the latter species is said to have the posterior tibiae 

 stout, resembling those of Ligyrus. 



Of the species known to me it resembles fimbripes in form, color 

 and size, but the claws, abdominal and other characters separate the 

 two. 



Anomala clypealis, new species. 



Elongate-oval, pale testaceous ; thorax with a median darker space, which ex- 

 tends on each side at middle as a narrow line not quite to the side margins. Head 

 rather coarsely punctate, feebly convex ; eyes not prominent ; antennal club as long 

 as the preceding joints together ; clypeal suture straight, distinctly impressed ; cly- 

 peus rather strongly narrowing to apex, frontal margin rounded and refiexed, sides 

 scarcely reflexed. Thorax twice as broad at base as long, sides feebly arcuate, ob- 

 liquely narrowing to the front, parallel behind ; front angles acute ; hind angles 

 rounded, disk rather sparsely punctate, the punctures at sides slightly larger and 

 more crowded, at middle an impressed longitudinal line. Elytra at base slightly 

 narrower than the thorax at base, gradually widening towards apex ; costae between 

 the geminate rows of punctures distinct, feebly convex and very finely and irregu- 

 larly punctate ; subsutural and second interval with a more irregular row of coarse 

 punctures than those of the geminate rows enclosing the costce, at sides the punctua- 

 tion forms almost regular rows of punctures. Pygidium convex, rugose, sparsely 

 hairy at tip. Underside coarsely punctate ; metasternum with a few erect hairs. 

 Front tibise bidentate, apical tooth elongate, curved ; outer claw very feebly cleft, the 

 upper portion extremely narrow and short ; intermediate scarcely visibly cleft. 

 Length 7 mm. 



Arizona (Bakersville ?). 



One male, sent me by my brother and possibly collected at light 

 in Bakersville. 



The feebly cleft claws bring this species near anteunata and />ar- 

 vula, from which the different form of clypeus, thoracic spot, and the 

 rugose pygidium separates it. In the single specimen, the pygidium 

 and also some indistinct longitudinal spaces on elytra are slightly 

 darker. 



At the time I published in this Journal, vol. XIV, p. i, the 

 "Notes on the species of ^w^w^zA? " I prepared a synoptic table of 

 the species then known to me, but withheld the publication of the 

 table, as I intended to include one or two more species, which were 

 recorded as being taken within our faunal limits and which are un- 

 known to me. I expected to receive specimens of these, as well as 

 of some Mexican species from a European correspondent, but for some 

 reason they have not arrived, so I take the present occasion to publish 

 the table.
