Five examples. In form A. chiriquina comes very close to var. 6 of A. guatemalena, 

 differing only in its mnch smoother elytra and more minutely rugulose pygidium. It is 

 intermediate between that species and the following. The broad subsutural interstice 

 has but few punctures, these forming only two irregular rows.

Brevius ovata, fulvo-testacea, polita, capite et tborace fundo nigris vel rufis viridi-seneo metallicis (boc 

 rarissime lateribus fulvis), elytrisque sutura, fascia angusta mediana, plaga suturali subapicali et vitta

 tborace subtilissime et sparsissime punctulato; elytris punctato-striatis, stria 2 a integra, interstitiis 

 lEevibus. Pygidium sat acute et grosse confluenter strigulosum, utrinque $ retuso-compressum, S fortius

The entire second elytral stria distinguishes, besides other characters, this species 

 from others of the A. undulata group. Yet, widely distinct though it be, it is linked 

 with A. undulata step by step by the species or subspecies above described, and the 

 individual varieties, apparently very rare, intermediate between them. The markings 

 of the elytra in the thirty specimens examined offer little variation ; in what may 

 be considered typical examples there are, besides the narrow median fascia and the 

 large rhomboidal subapical sutural spot, an oblong dark spot in the middle of the 

 base and another similar one towards the apex in the fulvous area between the 

 rhomboidal spot and the broad lateral border. These accessory spots are often absent, 

 or the dark fasciae more or less diffused. 



6. Anomala compressicoHis. (Tab. xil. fig. 5.) 



A. undulates affinis; magis ovata, flavo-testacea, tborace plaga antero-discoidali viridi vel cupreo-senea, 

 elytrisque macula rotunda prope suturam mediana (interdum maculis utrinque 3 in fasciam dispositis 

 plagaque suturali posteriore et callo bumerali) fuscis ; clypeo brevi et lato, postice paullo dilatato, dense 

 ruguloso-punctato ; thorace utrinque disco valde retuso velut compresso sulcoque lato dorsali, margine 

 basali integro, disco sat grosse et minus disperse punetato ; elytris regulariter punctato-striatis, interstitiis 

 brevibus, interstitio lato prope suturam confuse (fere biseriatim) punetato prope apicem unistriato.
