 surface appears flatter than in other species of the group.

Long. 9-10 millim. 



Hab. Mexico, Acapulco, Ven tanas, Iguala {Edge) ; Nicaeagua, Chontales (Belt). 



A large series of examples collected by Herr Hoge, one of which is figured. A 

 single specimen from Chontales agrees with the prevailing Mexican form in markings. 



14. Anomala • 



Hab. Nicaeagua, Granada (Salle). 



A single example of a species apparently distinct. 



15. Anomala ? 



Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca (Salle). 



A single example of a species almost exactly agreeing in sculpture with A. micans, 

 but from its narrow simple mesosternum and straight unthickened lateral margins of 

 the elytra belonging to a different group. 



16. Anomala ? 



Hab. Mexico (Salle, ex coll. Sturm). 



A single example of a species allied to the preceding, but having a rather wider 

 mesosternum slightly thickened at the apex. 



17. Anomala championi. (Tab. XII. fig. 10.) 



Elongato-ovata, fulvo-testacea, nitida, vertice macula utrinque tborace signatura magna sexlobata elytrisque 

 macula basab bumeralique, fascia mediana lata valde dentata et dilacerata, guttis maculisque apicalibus, 

 nigro-teneis ; corpore subtus nigro-aeneo, pedibus flavis nigro-maculatis ; capite densissime punctato, clypeo 

 postice baud ampliato margineque parum elevato ; tborace brevi et lato, lateribus subregulariter arcuatis, 

 angulis posticis obtusis, dorso valde insequali utrinque transversim bicalloso, rugoso et sparsim grosse 

 punctato ; elytris grosse punctato-striatis, utrinque costulis tribus subelevatis, lateribus confuse ruguloso- 

 punctatis, interstitio 2° confuse sub-biseriatim grosse punctato. Pygidium elytris dimidio obtectum, dense 

 confuse rugulosum, longe setosum. Mesosternum angustum, inter coxas haud tumidum. Tibiae anticas 

 bidentatae, sed dente tertio rudimentario, posticae suratae. Tarsi 4 anteriores ungue externo profunde fisso.
