joints relatively longer than in the male, that is, both joints are about 

 as long as the fourth joint and the last ventral segment is broadly 

 rounded at apex. Besides the type locality I have specimens from 

 Nogales, Prescott, Phoenix and several specimens from the old 

 Merkel collection simply labelled "Ariz." 



Cymatodera fascifera Leconte. 



The figure of the last two abdominal segments of this species 

 given by Dr. Horn are those of the female. The male has the fifth 

 and sixth ventral segments arcuately emarginate at apex, the sixth 

 more deeply than the fifth. The last dorsal segment in the single 

 male before me has the apical margin somewhat irregularly bisinuate 

 at tip. 



Cymatodera brevicoUis new species. 



Form and color like ovipennis. Head densely and somewhat coarsely 

 punctate ; antennae reaching a little beyond the basal angles of elytra, third 

 joint a little longer than second and equal to the fourth. Prothorax dis- 

 tinctly shorter than in ovipennis but similarly constricted in front and behind 

 middle ; surface rather closely and somewhat confluently punctured, antescu- 

 tellar impression distinct. Elytra slightly wider at base than the basal margin 

 of prothorax, gradually widening to about apical third, thence more rapidly 

 narrowing to apex, the tips more narrowly rounded than in ovipennis ; the 

 series of punctures distinct to about middle, from here to apex obliterated, 

 surface somewhat finely rugose ; a little above middle a rather irregular, 

 transverse, yellowish spot, which does not attain side margin nor suture ; sur- 

 face sparsely clothed with shorter yellowish and intermixed with a few 

 longer hairs. Ventral segments sparsely punctate, segments three and four 

 transversely strigose ; clothed sparsely with short yellowish hair ; fifth ventral 

 broadly and rather feebly emarginate, last ventral rounded at tip. Length 

 9 mm. 



Arizona. 



The single specimen, a female, was placed in the Dietz collec- 

 tion with ovipcmvis, which it superficially very much resembles. It 

 differs, however, from that species in having slightly longer antennal 

 joints, a shorter prothorax, the apices of elytra much more narrowed 

 and having well developed wings, which latter are absent in ovipennis 

 and allies.
