Lako and \'i.i;<> couiitics; rare. Jiuu" 27-.Iuly 7. Of the Vigo 

 County specimen my notebook says, "soveral Im/./.ing close to 

 H'l'oiind in coi-nlit Id on liiii'li land southwest of Si. Mafv'-s — only one 

 taken." This speeimen, toiiether with the oin". since taken in Lake 

 County, have heretofore been among my ininiha labeled as a variety, 

 but a critical examination shows the form of clypeus, cleft of tarsal 

 claws, pubescence of under surface and punctuation of elytra to be 

 wholly different and pi-esenting a coml)ination of characters found 

 in no other described Nortli American s|)ecies. 

 1S41 (5S3S). ANOMAL.V ncKOi.A Fab.. Eut. Syst., 1798. Suppl. 132. 



Oval, robust. Color variable from entirely dull yellow lo wholly black ; 

 tliorax often with a discal piceous space, this sometimes divided at middle. 

 Clypeus nearly twice as broad as long, rather densely punctured, its IroiU 

 broadly roundcvl. sides very little divergenl, margin narrowly reflexed. Tho- 

 rax convex, sides regularly curved; surface rather coarsely but not densely 

 punctured. Elytra ^^■ith douide rows of ratlier coarse, closely placed piuic- 

 tures. those near the suture confused; intervals broad, feebly convex, finely 

 punetulate. Length 8.5-10 mm. 



Throughout the State; frequent in the soutliern counties, nuich 

 less so in the north. June 12-Jnly 11. Occurs most commonly on 

 the foliage of the wild grape and Virginia creeper. Sometimes does 

 nnich damage to cultivated grapes. These can be sprayed with a 

 solution of Paris green, as the j)oison will be washed off between 

 the time of the beetles' appearance and the ripening of the fruit. 



1842 (5840). Anoimala marginata Fab.. Ent. Syst, I, 1798, 104. 



Oval, robust. Pale dull yellow, with shining bronzed lustre; head and 

 disk of thorax reddish-brown, narrow side margin of latter paler. Clypeus 

 short, broader at base, margin narrowly reflexed, its surface and lower 

 part of front densely and rugosely punctured. Thorax narrower in front, 

 sides curved, surface rather coarsely and sparsely punctured, with minute 

 shallow punctures between the larger ones. Elytra with somewhat irregu- 

 lar rows of coarse, closely placed punctures, the intervals equally convex. 

 Length 12-15 mm. 



Knox, Crawford and Posey counties; scarce. June 25-July 10. 

 Our largest, least variable and most handsome form. A member of 

 the Austrorii)ai-ian fauna which, according to Horn, "occurs in the 

 Southern States. ' ' 



XXV. STHinor>EraT.\ P.iirm. 1844. (Or., "stria i skin.") 



This genus differs from Aiiornahi mainly by the characters given 

 in key. The thorax is impressed on the sides and the outer front 

 and middle tarsal claws are cleft at tip.
