Habitat : Colorado (Colorado Springs), New Mexico (Magdalena 

 Mts., Snow), Arizona (Fort Huachuca, Daggett), Utah (Fuchs). 

 A. angelica, sp. nov. 



Moderately robust, shining, black not bronzed, clothed sparsely with fine erect 

 hairs, which are fuscous above and grayish beneath. Elytra marked with four trans- 

 verse series of small spots, yellow on the disk and usually reddish at the side, more 

 or less coalescent into narrow transverse bands, which reach the margin but not the 

 suture. The post- humeral spots are frequently nearly obsolete and never coalesce 

 into a well defined band. Head densely punctate, vertical carina not distinct. 

 Thorax not wider than the elytra, widest at base, sides feebly rounded, moderately 

 narrowed from the base ; margin visible in front from above ; disk coarsely closely 

 punctate at sides, more finely at the middle where the punctures are separated by their 

 own diameter. Punctures of elytral striae rather coarse, intervals rather narrow, flat 

 on the disk, and uniseriately punctulate as usual. Body beneath bronzed, ventral 

 segments rather uniformly not very closely punctate ; last ventral with thick angulate 

 apical crest; prosternum distinctly but not very strongly trisinuate. Length, 6.5-9 

 mm., .26-. 36 inch. 



Habitat: California (Los Angeles Co.). 



More than thirty examples are before me, exhibiting a considerable 

 amount of variation in form and punctuation of thorax and elytra. 

 The thorax is in some examples a little widened before the base, but 

 is not in any case wider than the elytra across the humeri. The an- 

 tennae are distinctly more slender in certain specimens which might 

 be considered distinct were not intermediate forms present. 



A. pulcherrima Z>//?'., Ins. Cuba, 1857, p. 56. 



Moderately depressed, black, thorax usually more or less aeneous, 

 elytra with slight bluish or greenish lustre. Hairs of upper surface 

 pale, rather short and not very fine. Thorax Avith elongate orange 

 spot at sides, elytra each with seven rounded orange colored spots ar- 

 ranged in two longitudinal rows, the apical spot forming a part of 

 both discal and marginal series. Specimens will probably occur with 

 the spots more or less confluent transversely. The last ventral is en- 

 tirely without double apical margin. Length, 8 mm., .32 inch. 



I have seen three examples labelled " Metacumbe Key, Fla." The 

 identification of this species and cnbcecola is due to the late Mr. Linell 

 and I have not thought it necessary to verify the conclusions of so 

 careful a student. 



A. Serena, sp. nov. 



Form moderate, somewhat depressed, black, elytra very deep blue, very sparsely 

 clothed above with short semi-erect pale hairs. Head not ver}^ densely punctate, a 

 faint vertical carina. Thorax not wider than the elytra, nearly twice as broad as long.
