Specimens examined : 10 cJ , from Lincoln, West Point 

 and Fairmont, collected from June 21 to July 2. In this 

 as well as several other species of the genus Anoynala the 

 color of the elytra seems to be inconstant. The majority

 brown, heavily streaked, or largely brown. Innuba is 

 fairly common throughout most of the eastern and southern
