f8 DESCRIPTIONS OP NEW SPECIES. 



288. L. pul>erulus. Elongato-ovalis, ferruginous, flavo-pubescens, 

 versus latera longe pilosus, capite anguste marginato, lateribus obliqnis 

 antice late subtruncato, fortiter punctate, fronte sutura bene impressa, 

 thorace dense fortiter punctate, lateribus obtuse rotundatis, elytris pro- 

 funde aequaliter punctatis. Long. -50. 



Cape San Lucas ; John Xantus. One male ; the tarsal claws 

 are strongly pectinate. Quite distinct from any other species 

 known to me by the more strongly punctured elytra, and uniform 

 pubescence. 



ANOMALA KCEPPE. 



2S9. A. centralis. Longiuscula subovata, testacea, capite confertim 

 subtiliter punctato, rufo, thorace parce punctulato macula triangulari 

 ab apice fere ad basin extendente, elytris seriatim punctatis sutura lim- 

 boque externo nigris, tarsis fuscis. Long. -35. 



Cape San Lucas ; Mr. John Xantus. Of the same shape as 

 A. varians, but very distinct from all the species known to me 

 by the triangular spot of the thorax ; this spot in front is nearly 

 as wide as the head, and gradually narrows behind, terminating 

 behind the middle. The elytra are marked with regular rows of 

 punctures, the only confused ones being near the suture. The 

 club of the antennae in all the specimens before me is equal in 

 length to the stem. 



PEL-miVOTA McLEAY. 



2OO. P. llicae. Obscure viridi-senea, capite thoraceque nitidis sat sub- 

 tiliter punctatis, elytris alutaceis, castaneis viridi-micantibus, subtiliter 

 seriatim punctatis, pedibus nigro-cyaneis, viridi tinctis ; antennis casta- 

 neis. Long. '70 -77. 



Cape San Lucas ; John Xantus. The elytra are very dark 

 brownish testaceous, but so tinged with metallic green that the 

 ground color is not obvious. The head and thorax are dark 

 bronzed green ; the clypeus is flat, parabolic, and finely margined. 



COTAL.PA BUEM. 



291. C. puncticollis. Viridi-senea, longe pilosa, elytris fusco-testa- 

 ceis vage baud profunde punctatis, fere glabris, capite confertissime 

 piinctato, clypeo parabolico, thorace rude sat dense punctato, pedibus 

 chalybeis. Long. *85. 



New Mexico ; Mr. Ulke. The punctures of the thorax are 

 large but not so dense as to be conspicuously confluent. The
