in the other specimen to warrant description. Length of type, from 
front of clypeus to the abdominal apex, 16.85 mm.; of elytron, 10 mm. 
Described from two specimens, one with, the other without counter- 
part. . 
Type.— No. 2,571 M. C. Z. Florissant, Col. (No. 13,610 S. H. 
Scudder Coll.). Paratype, No. 2,572, 2,573 M. C. Z. (No. 8,162 
and 8,279 S. H. Scudder Coll.). 
A good-sized species apparently belonging in the group with the 
elongate forms which are rather abundant in Mexico and the south- 
western United States. In the paratype the sides of the prothorax 
are more divergent posteriorly and the elytral punctuation is better 
shown, but I think there is no doubt of its specific identity with the 
type. 
ANOMALA SCUDDERI, sp. nov. 
Plate 8, fig. 4-6. 
Form elongate, the abdomen probably unnaturally extended in the 
specimen at hand. As only the ventral view is shown, the characters 
of the head and prothorax are obscured. Elytron, (only one being 
preserved), nearly two and a half times as long as wide, apex broadly 
rounded, surface sculpture not showing through on to the underside 
and for that reason probably not strong. Legs moderately elongate 
and not very heavy, the tarsal joints rather stout and short, the claws 
simple or nearly so except that one of the middle pair is toothed near 
the base. Length, from front of head to abdominal apex, 9.25 mm.; 
of elytron, 5.30 mm. j | 
Described from one specimen. 
Type No. 2,574 M. C. Z. Florissant, Col. (No. 5,125 S. H. 
Scudder Coll.). 
Though lacking any very characteristic features, the leg and elytral 
structures have led me to place this fossil in Anomala. The form, 
if we assume that the abdomen is unnaturally distended, was not unlike 
that of the modern A. semalinda.

This genus is represented by several species in North America at the 
present day, and the Scudder collection of Florissant fossils contains 
two. One of these has already been described, the other is undoubt- 
edly new.
