A REVISION OF NORTH AMERICAN CHRYSOBOTHRINI 221 



National Museum is herewith selected as the lectotype. He stated 

 in his description that the middle tibia of the female is straight, but 

 in the females in the type series the middle tibiae are slightly arcuate, 

 but not so strongly as in the males. 



(99) Cheysobothris fiskei, new species 



(Fig. 125, B) 



Resembles Chrysobothris bimarginicollis Schaeffer, but differs from that species 

 as follows: Underside of body bright green at middle and purplish brown at 

 sides ; pronotum more sparsely, shallowly, irregularly punctate, with sides arcu- 

 ately converging at basal halves ; elytra widest behind middle, with the sides 

 slightly diverging from humeral angles to behind middle, then obliquely converg- 

 ing to tips, which are conjointly broadly rounded, and each elytron with four 

 more or less distinct, longitudinal costae and three distinct, bright-green or 

 golden-green foveae; and male genitalia with sides of lateral lobes parallel near 

 apices. 



Length 9^10.5 mm., width 4-4.7 mm. 



Type locality. — Montell, Tex. 



Type material. — Type, allotype, and paratypes in the United 

 States National Museum, No. 55298. 



Described from five specimens (one male type), three males and 

 two females, reared from Texas redbud (Cercis reniformis Engel- 

 mann), collected at the type locality by W. F. Fiske, to whom the 

 writer takes great pleasure in dedicating the species.
