 (Fig. 47 ; fig. 117, E) 

 Chrysolothris chiricahuae Knull, 1937, Ent. News 48: 37-38. 



Figitre 47. — Anterior tibia of male (A), clypeus (B), and last visible abdominal 

 sternite of male (C) and of female (D) of Chrijso'bothris chiricahuae. 



Male. — Moderately elongate, strongly depressed above, rather strongly shin- 

 ing, bronzy brown, with a distinct cupreous tinge, pronotum more cupreous 

 and more strongly shining than elytra ; beneath brownish cupreous, with an 

 indistinct bronzy reflection, and more strongly shining than elytra. 



Head uniformly bronzy brown, with two small, irregular callosities on front 

 and a smooth longitudinal carina on occiput; front slightly convex; surface 

 coarsely, rather densely, irregularly punctate, sparsely clothed with long, re- 

 cumbent, whitish hairs, intervals densely granulose ; clypeus broadly, deeply, 

 arcuately emarginate in front, transversely subtruncate on each side. Antenna 

 piceous, with a distinct cupreous tinge, uniform in width to apex ; intermediate 

 segments compact, wider than long, subtruncate at outer margins ; third seg- 

 ment one-third longer than fourth. 



Pronotum twice as wide as long, narrower at apex than at base, widest just 

 behind middle; sides nearly parallel at middle, arcuately converging toward 

 base and apex ; anterior margin slightly sinuate, with a vague median lobe ; 

 base broadly, arcuately emarginate on each side, median lobe strongly pro- 

 duced, and narrowly truncate in front of scutellum ; disk with a faint, longi- 

 tudinal, median depression, a deep lateral depression on each side near apical 

 angle, and a small callosity on each side at base ; surface coarsely, rather densely, 

 irregularly punctate at middle, coarser and confluently punctate toward the 

 sides, the intervals densely, finely granulose. 



Elytra distinctly wider than pronotum, nearly twice as long as wide; sides 

 feebly sinuate and nearly parallel from humeral angles to apical third, then 

 arcuately converging to tips, which are separately rather narrowly rounded ; 

 lateral margins finely serrate posteriorly ; basal and humeral depressions broad 

 and deep ; disk uneven, rather strongly depressed ; surface glabrous, finely, 

 irregularly punctate. Each elytron with three smooth, longitudinal costae, the 

 first straight, strongly elevated, extending along sutural margin from apex to 

 basal third, and the other two irregular, interrupted by the densely punc- 

 tured depressions, and with an irregular, transverse depression in front of 

 middle, a smaller one behind middle, and two indistinct ones at apical third. 



Abdomen beneath sparsely, finely, irregularly punctate, sparsely clothed with 

 moderately long, recumbent, whitish hairs, without lateral callosities, intervals 

 densely granulose; last visible sternite deeply, broadly, arcuately emarginate 

 at apex, without a submarginal ridge, lateral margins slightly serrate: eighth 

 termite deeply, broadly, triangularly emarginate at apex, densely granulose,
