220 LAMELLICOENIA. 



About a score examples, all presenting the strange apparent deformity of the thorax 

 above described. The species is otherwise closely allied to A. guatemalena ; but 

 presents little variation in the elytral markings, which consist always (except when 

 absent altogether) of a few small dark spots in the same situations as the leading 

 spots in the other species of the group. The pygidium has an even surface, without 

 fovese or compression, and is minutely confluent, strigulose, and opaque. 



7. Anomala calligrapha. (Tab. xil. fig. 6.) 



Oblonga, thorace relative parvo et basi elytris angustiore ; subtus nigra vel picea ventreque pallido ; supra 

 capite thoraceque nigro-seneis, politis, elytris fulvo-testaceis, plaga subhumerali fasciisque duabus undulatis 

 (jam inter ruptis jam valde dilatatis vel diffusis) nigro-fuscis ; clypeo transverso, postice dilatato, punctulato- 

 ruguloso ; thorace medio angulatim dilatato deinde usque ad basin lateribus parallelis, dorso undique 

 paullo insequali, disperse punctato, margine basali integro ; elytris oblongis rugulosis, punetato-striatis, 

 interstitio lato subsuturali valde confuse punctato striisque 2 a et 3 a irregularibus. Pygidium nitidum, 

 grossissime haud profunde punctatum, punctis longitudinaliter confluentibus. <$ . Tarsi antici ungue 

 majore basi dilatato, dente tenui superiore elongato. 



Long. 7-9 millim. <S ? . 



Eab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 to 6000 feet (Champion). 

 Upwards of twenty examples. 



8. Anomala retusicollis. 



A. calligraphce et A. compressicolli affinis ; oblonga, thorace postice lateribus parallelis, elytris haud relative 

 elongatis ; capite thoraceque medio nigro-seneis, hoc margine lato lineolaque abbreviata dorsali fulvis, elytris 

 fulvis, medio maculis l a -3 m parvis transversim positis fuscis ; thorace antiee utrinque post oculum et sulco 

 antero-dorsali impresso, caetera superficie subeequali disperse punctato; elytris regulariter punetato- 

 striatis, interstitiis lsevibus, subsuturali lato biseriatim confuse punctato. Pygidium minute confluenter 

 rugulosum, subopacum. 



Long. 6 millim. 



Eab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 to 6000 feet (Champion). 



Three examples, intermediate in form between A. calligrapha and A. compressicollis, 

 and also allied to A. chiriquina. The lateral depression of the thorax is confined to a 

 moderate space near the fore margin on each side instead of occupying the greater 

 portion of the half disc as in A. compressicollis. 



9. Anomala barbicollis. 



Prsecedenti affinis ; oblonga, thoracis lateribus postice subparallelis, antiee utrinque prope angulum depresso, 

 disco utrinque plaga magna setifero-punctata, caetera superficie convexa, subtiliter parce punctulata ; 

 elytris punetato-striatis, interstitiis paullo convexis, laevibus, subsuturali lato, confuse multipunctato, 

 postice unistriato, striis l a , 3 a , 4 a et 9 a 10 a que prope apicem profundis ; pygidio subtilissime transversim 

 striato-opaco, asqualiter convexo ; capite et thorace politis, viridi-seneis rufo-translucentibus, hoc lateribus 

 fulvis ; elytris fulvis, fasciis duabus undulatis (interdum latis et diffusis) nigro-fuscis vel castaneis. 



Long. 9 millim. 



Eab. Guatemala, Sinanja in Vera Paz (Champion). 

 Two female examples only.
