Descriptions of New Species and Notes. 



Macrotelus terminatus var. pallipes, new variety. 



Form and size of terminatus from which it differs by the almost 

 entirely black prothorax, brown elytra and pale tibiae. 



Brownsville, Texas. 



The moderately large series which I have taken or raised from 

 branches of Acacia farnesiana and Acacia flexicaulis differs constantly 

 in the above-mentioned characters from terminatus ; of the latter I ob- 

 tained only one specimen. The metasternum is also more or less 

 reddish in this variety. 



Cymatodera antennata, new species. 



Colordark brown ; antennas, palpi, legs and under side paler. Head moderately 

 coarsely and densely punctate ; pubescence sparse. Eyes prominent. Antenna; 

 reaching to about middle of elytra ; joints two and three small, together as long as 

 joint four ; joints four to eleven equal, subserrate. Prothorax twice as long as wide 

 at apex ; rather strongly constricted at basal third, less strongly at apical third ; sur- 

 face rather sparsely pubescent and densely punctate, the punctures, especially at sides, 

 more or less confluent. Elytra twice as wide as the thorax at base ; parallel to about 

 apical fourth ; apices rounded ; pubescence short and rather inconspicuous ; the row of 

 punctures becoming gradually finer posteriorly and entirely obliterated at apex ; inter- 

 vals as wide or slightly narrower than the punctures, sparsely, finely, irregularly punc- 

 tate. Under side of body scarcely pubescent, meso- and metasternum densely and 

 moderately coarsely punctate ; abdomen very finely and densely punctate. Legs 

 sparsely pubescent. Length 7-9 mm. 



Male. — Fifth ventral segment truncate at apex. Sixth short, broadly but feebly 

 emarginate at apex. Last dorsal segment truncate at apex, as wide as the last ventral. 



Female. — Sixth ventral short and broadly rounded. 



Huachuca Mts., Arizona. 



The short second and third antennal joints bring this species near 

 longicomis from which it is distinguished by the uniform color, the 

 form of the last ventral segments of the male, and the subserrate an- 

 tennae. It resembles cylindricollis Chev. closely, but has the eyes 

 larger, more narrowly separated and the antennal joints four to ten 

 wider. 



Cymatodera pallida, new species. 



Yellowish-testaceous, head and thorax slightly darker. Head shining, rather 

 sparsely and finely punctate and feebly pubescent ; eyes prominent, rather widely 

 separated ; antennal joints two, three and four nearly equal in length, narrower. than 

 five and following joints and each shorter than joint five. Thorax feebly constricted 

 subapically, laterally strongly compressed below middle, thence slightly divergent to 

 base; surface rather sparsely punctate and not densely pubescent. Elytra parallel, 

 apices rounded ; rows of punctures coarse, towards apex finer ; intervals as wide or near
