base slightly wider than the punctures ; pubescence short, not very abundant. Meta- 

 sternum sparsely punctate ; abdomen more densely and finely and scarcely at all 

 pubescent. Length 5-6 mm. 



Male. — Fifth ventral segment broadly but feebly emarginate ; sixth narrower ; 

 short and feebly emarginate at apex ; last dorsal as wide as the last ventral but 

 slightly longer and truncate at apex. 



Female. — Last ventral and dorsal segments rounded at apex. 



Huachuca Mts., Arizona. 



This species is allied to puncticollis (Bland) Horn, and delicatula 

 Fall, but is more elongate, has the eyes more widely separated and 

 differs also in the form of the last dorsal segment of the male. 



Cymatodera latefascia Schaef., Jour. N. Y. Ent. Soc, Vol. XII, p. 216. 



This species, of which I now have seen more material, seems to 

 be very close to cylindricollis and may prove to be the same ; it differs 

 very slightly from a female Mexican specimen sent me as somewhat 

 doubtfully that species by Mr. Schenkling. 



Cymatodera flavosignata, new species. 



Elongate, dark brown; elytra with an irregularly angulate, narrow median fascia 

 yellow, below this and also near base and around humeri a few more or less distinct 

 pale streaks. Head coarsely and densely punctate. Eyes moderate. Antenme 

 reaching slightly below humeri; joints elongate, the second shorter than third, the 

 outer slightly subtriangular. Prothorax elongate, feebly constricted at apical third, 

 more distinctly so at basal third ; disk moderately, coarsely and more or less conflu- 

 ently punctate ; pubescence moderately dense and longer than on elytra. Elytra 

 about one and one half times as wide as thorax at base ; feebly widening posteriorly ; 

 apices arcuate truncate, sutural angles rounded ; rows of punctures moderately coarse, 

 more or less obliterated from the middle to apex on the disk but continued nearly to 

 apex at sides ; intervals rather sparsely punctate in basal half, much more densely 

 from middle to apex, surface rather sparsely pubescent. Under side sparsely pubes- 

 cent ; mesosternum coarsely punctate ; metasternum and abdomen finely and sparsely 

 punctate. Legs more densely pubescent than abdomen. Length 12 mm. 



Male. — Fifth ventral segment broadly arcuate-emarginate ; sixth parallel, 

 broadly arcuate-emarginate, not carinate on the disk, but the apical and side margins 

 slightly thickened. Last dorsal narrower than last ventral, elongate, narrowing to 

 apex, and deeply, subtriangularly notched at middle, the angles rounded ; the sur- 

 face above the incisure broadly and rather deeply impressed. 



Female. — Fifth ventral very feebly arcuate-emarginate ; sixth elongate and rather 

 strongly narrowing to apex, which is broadly but rather feebly emarginate. I as< 

 dorsal more deeply emarginate with the angles more or less acute. 



Huachuca Mts., Arizona, July and August. 



The narrow, strongly undulate yellow median fascia and the form 

 of the last ventral and dorsal segments of both sexes make this an 

 easily recognizable species. It should be placed near morosa Lee.
