Lake and Vigo counties : rare. -June 27— July 7. Of the Vigo 

 County ^pHC-imen my notebook says, 'several buzzing close to 

 ground in i-orufield on high land southwest of St. ilary s — only one 

 taken." This specimen, together with the one sime taken in Lake 

 County, have heretofore been among my iuiuiha labeled as a variety. 

 but a critical examination shows the form of clypeus. cleft of tarsal 

 cla\vs. pubescence of under surface and punctuation of elytra to be 

 wholly different and presenting a combination of characters found 

 in no other described North American species. 



1541 (SSoSi. A^-OiIAL.\ LUCICOLA Fab.. Ent. Sysr.. 170^. Snppl. 1.32. 

 Oval, robus-t. Color variable from entirely dull yellow to wholly black ; 



thorax often with a disial piceous space, this sometimes divided at middle. 

 Clypeus nearly twice as broad as long, rather densely punctured, its front 

 broadly rounded, sides very little divergent, margin narrowly reflexed. Tho- 

 rax convex, side;; regularly curved; surface rather coarsely but not densely 

 punctured. Elytra with double rows of rather coarse, closely placed punc- 

 tures, thdse near the suture ci infused: interval^ liriiad. feebly convex, finely 

 punctulate. Length s..j_io mm. 



Throughout the State: frequent in the southern counties, much 

 less S(j in the north. June 12-.Jniy 11. Occurs most commonly on 

 the foliage of the wild grape and Virginia creeper. Sometimes does 

 much damage to cultivated ur;ipes. These can be sprayed with a 

 solution of Paris green, as the jjnison will be washed off between 

 the time of the beetles appearance and the ripening of the fruit. 



1542 1 .5S40 I . AxoMALA margixata Fab.. Ent. Syst.. I. 170S. 1(54. 



Oval, robust. Pale dull yellr.w. with shining bronzed lustre; head and 

 disk of thorax reddish-brown, narnjw side margin of latter paler. Clypeus 

 short, broader at base, margin nanowly retlexed. its surface and lower 

 part of front densely and rugusely punctured. Thorax narrower in front. 

 sides curved, surface rather coarsely and sparsely punctured, with minute 

 shallow punctures between the larger ones. Elytra with somewhat irregu- 

 lar rows of coarse, clnsely placed punctures, the intervals equally convex. 

 Length 12-1.5 mm. 



Knox. Crawford and Posey counties : scarce. June 25-July 10. 

 Our largest, least variable and yiiost handsome form. A member of 

 the Austroriparian fauna whi'li. aci-ording to Horn, "occurs in the 

 Southern States." 



XXV. Strigoderjia Burm. 1--4-I:. (Gr.. "stria ^ skin." 



This genus differs from AnO'itnla mainly by the characters given 

 in key. The thorax is impressed on the sides and tlie outer front 

 and middle tarsal claws are cleft at tip.
