!*8-l KAMILY L. SCAliAIJJ'MD.T:. 



Tliroiiuliout the State; frequent. April 28-.Jinie 26. Occurs 

 on vegetation, lieneath cover and at liglit. The al)()ve is a descrip- 

 tion of the typical undulata known to Melsheimer. Confused with 

 it or iioiuhn almost in every collection are shorter, darker speci- 

 mens which also liav' the front tarsal claw joint wholly without 

 teeth. These I regard as a distinct variety, if not species, and de- 

 scribe as follows : 



lS39a ( ). Anojiai^v undulata dubja var. nov. 



Ovnl. bnnidcr lieliiud. Usually dark reddish-brown or pieeous, feebly 

 shining: elytra often with irregular paler blotches. Clypeus somewhat 

 longer and narrower tlian in undtdata. the sides more divergent behind. 

 Thorax narrower, more convex, and much more coarsely and densely pmic- 

 tured. Elytra more closely and coarsely punctured, the punctures distinctly 

 wider than the intervals, the latter narrower and more convex than in vu- 

 (Jiilata. Meso- and metastorna more coarsely nnd densely punctured than 

 there. Length 7-7.5 nun. 



Throughout the State; less frequent tlian undulala. April 2:5- 

 •luly 13. This form resemhles the black color variety of innuha, Init 

 has tlie thorax more coarsely and densely punctured. It may be a 

 variety of that species without teeth on the front tarsal claw. If 

 so the main character usually used in separating the two species is 

 of no value. The short, S(juat body, taken in connection with the 

 other ditferences mentioned, at once separate it from undulata. 

 Since both it and that species occur throughout the State it cannot 

 be classed as a cliuiatic variety. 



1S40 ( ). Anomala pubescens sp. nov. 



Oblong-oval. Head, thorax and scutellum dark reddish-brown or pie- 

 eous; elytra dull yellow, the side margins narrowly brownish or pieeous; 

 under surface and legs dull brown or pieeous. everywhere s])arsely clothed 

 with long grayish hairs, tliese more dense (ui the niesn- and metasterna and 

 covering the pygidium. Clypeus concave, tlie nun-gin liroadly rc^tiexed, more 

 so than in flaripcnnis; surface, as well as tliat of lower ]iart of front, 

 roughly, coarsely and confluently punctate, sides broadly and evenly rounded. 

 Thorax one-half broader than long, narrowed in front, widest at middle, 

 sides curved thence to base; front angles acute, hind angles obtuse; sur- 

 face rather finely, sparsely and irregularly punctate, with a small rounded 

 fovea and one or two impressions on the sides; basal marginal line present. 

 Elytra very irregularly and unevenly punctate, the punctures on sides only 

 being in somewh.-it distinct rows, many of those on middle of disk confluent 

 in short, broken, deeply impressed lines which ai'c darkei- Ihau the remain- 

 ing p<n'ti<jn of llie disk. Pygidium rugulose. Claw joinl of frout tarsus 

 tooMuMl iicnealli: the outer claw of both front :iud iiiiddlc lai'si nniMiually 

 and Hnely dcri, tlie sni.ali, sh'nder division l)eing near tlie middle on tlie 

 front tarsi and distinctly below the tip on the middle one. Length S- 

 S.5 mm.
