218 LAMELLICOENIA. 



Sab. Mexico, Cordova, Teapa {Salle) ; Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 

 to 4000 feet (Champion). 



A dozen examples showing very little variation. The clypeus and anterior claws in 

 both sexes are formed precisely the same as in A. undulata, and I treat A. discoidalis 

 as a distinct species simply on account of its constancy in the Panama region, whence 

 nearly all the specimens come. The few Mexican individuals are rather less typical, 

 the thorax in these having a more or less stronger punctuation, an entire basal margin, 

 and less sharply defined spot, characters which connect them so far with A. undulata. 



I received a specimen some years ago from Paris under the name of A. maculicollis, 

 Dej. An example from Chiriqui is figured. 



3. Anomala guatemalena. (Tab. xil. fig. 3, var.) 



A. undulatce affinissima, sed differt clypei lateribus fere parallelis etc. Minor, suboblonge ovata, fulvo- 

 testacea, nitida, viridi vel seneo-fusco multifariam variegata ; clypeo transverse-, lateribns fere parallelis, 

 cum fronte creberrime punctulatis ; tborace sicnt in A. undulata, sat fortiter disperse pnnctato, sequaliter 

 convexo, linea dorsali obsoleta, margine basali integro ; elytris punctato-striatis, interstitiis snbtiliter 

 disperse pnnctulatis (nee transversim rugosis), interstitio lato subsutnrali basi solum confuse (fere 

 biseriatim) punctato, post medium unipunctato-striato. Pygidium sicut in A. undulata et A. discoidali 

 confluenter rugulosum, interspatiis sat amplis subverrucosis. 



Long. 6-7 millim. 



Color supra variat : — 



1. Tota rufo-testacea (elytris fulvioribus). 



2. Thorax viridi-seneus, limbo laterali elytrisque fulvo-testaceis. 



3. Thorax maculis 2 irregularibus viridi-seneis, elytris fulvo-testaceis callo humerali fusco. 



4. Thorax geneus margine elytrisque fulvo-testaceis, his macula mediana transversa suturali alterisque minutis 



discoidalibus et marginalibus fuscis. 



5. Thorax seneus vel rufescens, variabilis, elytris fascia mediana maculari, callo et vitta subhumerali nigro- 



fuscis. 



6. Eadem, sed elytris fasciis latis duabus undulatis seneo-nigris. 



7. Eadem, sed capite thoraceque runs. 



8. Caput et thorax viridi-senea, elytris castaneo-fuscis maculis indistinctis castaneo-rufis. 



9. Mgra, capite thoraceque castaneis vel viridi-seneis. 



Sab. Guatemala, near the city (Salvin), Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet, Tocoy, El 

 Jicaro, San Geronimo, Chacoj, San Juan in Vera Paz (Champion); Costa Rica, Cache 

 (Eogers). 



Nearly forty examples, two or three of which show a gradation towards A. undulata 

 in the more semicircular clypeus and one or other points of difference. The form, 

 however, is evidently in a state of almost complete segregation front the northern 

 species and merits a separate name and description. A specimen from Chacoj in the 

 Polochic valley is figured. 



4. Anomala chiriquina. 



Brevius ovata( <$ $ ), fulvo-testacea, nitida, capite cuprascenti-rufo, thorace plaga magna nigro-aenea plerumque 

 lineola postero-dorsali abbreviata fulva ; elytris sutura fascia angusta undulata mediana, plaga suturali 

 ante apicem (interdum usque ad latera extensa), vitta lata marginali versus humeros et interdum maculis
