A REVISION OF NORTH AMERICAN CHRYSOBOTHRINI 213 



Redescribed from the type in the United States National Museum. 



Male. — Differing from the female in having the last visible abdominal sternite 

 deeply, semicircularly emarginate at apex, with the angles broad and slightly 

 emarginate and without a smooth, longitudinal carina, the eighth abdominal 

 tergite more broadly rounded at apex and the surface more sparsely punctured, 

 the anterior tibia armed with a triangular tooth near apex and with a number 

 of very small teeth on inner margin, and the middle and posterior tibiae armed 

 with a row of small, distinct teeth on their inner margins. 



Type locality. — Nogales, Santa Cruz County, Ariz. 



Host. — Unknown. 



Schaeffer described this species from a single female collected 

 August 18, 1906, at the type locality by F. W. Nunenmacher. The 

 only other specimen examined by the writer is a male collected Oc- 

 tober 3 in the Huachuca Mountains, Ariz., by D. J. and J. N. Knull. 

 This species resembles serripes Schaeffer, but the female differs from 

 the female of that species in having the last visible abdominal 

 sternite deeply, narrowly, arcuately emarginate at the apex, and the 

 male in having the median lobe of the genitalia coarsely serrate on 

 the lateral margins.
