S ovata, $ oblongior postice dilatata, glabra, nitida, subtus fusca, pedibus fusco-ameis (interdum rufo-testaceis),

 interstitio subsuturali lato valde irregulariter usque ad apicem punctato. Pygidium sequaliter convexum,

Elytrorum maculis typice quinque in fasciam obliquam ab humero (haud callum tegente) usque ad medium

A large number of examples. Although the form, especially of the female, is 

 different, this species belongs to the group of which A. undulata and A. variegata 

 (Latr.) are the types. The slender upper part of the cleft anterior claws is as long as, 

 or longer than, the lower, which is dilated towards the base in the male. A. cribriceps is 

 remarkable for the close and comparatively uniform punctuation of the head, which is 

 opaque, except the slightly shining posterior part of the vertex. An example from 

 Tonila is figured. 



11. Anomala punctatipennis. 



Anomala punctatipennis, Blanch. Cat. Coll. Ent. i. p. 187 \ 



Hdb. Mexico, Cordova, Vera Cruz l (Salle) ; Guatemala (Salle). 



Four examples in the Salle collection bearing this name. The species is not so 

 " breviter ovata " as most others of the same group; the elytra are a little dilated 

 behind, and the thorax does not broaden towards the base and is nearly parallel-sided 

 behind the dilatation. The " profunde striato-punctatis " of Blanchard's diagnosis is a 

 distinctive character, the punctures of the striae being large, deep, and circular or 

 umbilicated, each seated in a larger impression. Size 6-7 millim. 



12. Anomala zapotensis. (Tab. XII. fig. 8.) 



Late ovata, glabra, flavo-testacea, capite thoraeeque seneo-tinctis hoc signaturis duabus vagis fuscis, elytris 

 castaneo-fuscis fasciis duabus dentatis flavo-testaeeis, altera a scutelli apice usque ad medium basin 

 curvata, altera magis transversa mediana ; clypeo subsemicirculari, crebre rugoso-punctato, fronte sparsim 

 punctata ; thorace brevi et lato, ante medium perparum dilatato quasi a basi usque ad apicem angustato, 

 disperse punctato, margine basali integro ; elytris regulariter et profunde punctato-striatis, interstitio 

 lato subsuturali nullo. Pygidium dense transverse confluenter strigosum. Mesosternum antice declive 

 anguste obtuse carinatum. 



Long. 9 millim.
