30 Psyche [February 



eyes black. Head of normal size, front rather coarsely, densely, and more or less 

 confluently but not deeply punctured, the vertex much less closely. Clypeus 

 punctured similarly to the front but a little less strongly, the front edge nearly 

 straight, angles broadly and evenly rounded, sides subparallel or slightly convergent 

 posteriorly for about the basal half of the length, margin entire, somewhat strongly 

 reflexed, frontal suture deeply impressed and about straight, Antennal club about 

 equal in length to all of the remaining joints. Pronotum with an antemedian, 

 shallow, dark-colored fovea each side, marginal bead strong all the way around, 

 basal lobe barely visibly emarginate or sinuate at middle, the pronotal disk punc- 

 tured, rather sparsely over most of the surface but more closely at sides, the punc- 

 tuation fine, the intervening spaces alutaceous. Scutellum punctured similarly 

 to the pronotum. Elytra a little more shining than the prothorax, distinctly and 

 rather strongly striate, the striae punctured weakly on the disk, a little more strongly 

 at the sides and near the base, the intervals of the dorsum distinctly alternating in 

 height and breadth, the broader ones lower than the others and rather sharply 

 punctured. The interval just external to the sutural stria is the widest and has 

 the punctures arranged in a rather confused double series, while on the other two 

 flat distal intervals the series is single. The intervals external to these are not 

 punctured, except with the fine alutaceous marking that gives the appearance of 

 subopacity to the elytra. Propygidium punctured, with a distinct tendency to 

 transverse rugosity, pygidial sculpture finer and more rugose. Body beneath 

 strongly hairy on the thoracic sternites but less so on the abdomen and femora, 

 jnetasternum distinctly and closely but not very deeply punctured, abdominal 

 segments strongly shining and sparsely punctate. Legs of moderate thickness, the 

 posterior tibia? not dilated, the front pair bidentate, none of the claws cleft at tip, 

 but those of the anterior tarsus are somewhat dissimilar, the inner one being a little 

 twisted, suddenly bent near the base and with a marked thickening just external 

 to this bend. The two claws of the middle tarsus are about alike, except that the 

 inner is a trifle more slender, those of the hind tarsus are similar to the middle ones. 

 Length, 13.50 to 16.50 mm. 



Described from six specimens kindly given me by Mrs. Lucy 

 Brant Meade, who collected them Aug. 9, on Capitan Mt., New 

 Mexico. 



By the non-protuberant mesosternum and nearly simple (not 

 cleft) claws, this should go into the sub-genus Rhombonyx and 

 belongs near A. cavijrons Lee. and A. carinifrons Bates, differing 

 from both in the impressed (instead of carinate) frontal suture. 

 It is also larger than either of the two species noted and differs from 

 both in several minor characters which may be gathered from the 

 description. 



Anomala apacheana sp. no v. 



Similar in form, size, color and luster to A. eamaneha, but is somewhat more 

 shining and differs in the following particulars. Clypeus narrower and longer in
