224 LAMELLICOBNIA. 



21. Anomala veraBcrucis. 



Oblonga, subovata, fulvo-testacea, tborace saturate viridi-aeneo vitta marginali medio intus sinuata fulva ; 

 capite rufo, elytris sutura angusta lineaque marginali subhumero (interdum margine lata irregulari) 

 nigro-fuscis. Capite crebre punctate, vertice laevi, clypeo subsemicirculari, paullo reflexo ; tborace 

 lateribus sat regulariter arcuatis, angulis postice subrotundatis, margine basaH integro, sat fortiter sub- 

 disperse punctato ; elytris utrinque costis tribus vix elevatis striis punctatis rectis delimitatis, interstitiis 

 inter costas l m et 2 m stria paullo irregulari unica, inter eostas 2 m et 3 m parce confuse punctato, interstitium 

 subsuturali lato multipunctato, stria suturali valde impressa fere recta, striis 2 a , 3 a et 7 a 8 a que prope callum 

 apicalem, profunde exaratis. Pygidium tf confluenter baud profunde arcuato-rugulosum, parum nitidum, 

 $ discrete punctatum, nitidum. Tarsi anteriores articulo unguiculari subtus dentate. Tibiae anticae 

 bidentatas. Tarsi anteriores ungue majore <S baud subangulatim dilatato, dente superiore breviore, 

 $ fere aequaliter fisso. 



Long. 11-12 millim. g $ . 



Hab. Mexico, Vera Cruz {Salle) ; Guatemala, San Isidro {Champion). 



This and the following species much resemble the smaller examples with yellow elytra 

 of A. cincta, and still more A. Costarica?, but the narrower simple mesosternum and 

 bidentate anterior tibiee amply distinguish them. 



22. Anomala sejuncta. 



A praecedente differt thoracis angulis posticis fere rectis, margine ante angulum leviter sinuato margineque 

 fulvo antice dilatato posticeque attenuato ; elytris lsevioribus striisque prope callum apicalem minus 

 profundis. 



Long. 12 millim. 



Hab. Guatemala {Salle), Duefias and near the city {Champion); Costa Rica {Van 

 Patten). 



Four examples. The colour of the head is coppery red and of the thorax coppery- 

 aeneous or brassy-black, the elytra having no dusky marking except a narrow sutural 

 border. The pygidium is much more densely and deeply sculptured. Costa Bican 

 examples have the hind angles of the thorax less rectangular than those from 

 Guatemala. 



23. Anomala ? 



Hab. Guatemala {Salle). 



A single example of a doubtful species. 



24. Anomala hopfneri. (Tab. XII. fig. 13, $ .)

 aenescenti-castanea elytrisque vitta suturali (medio dilatata) vitta postero-marginali et saepe callo humerali, 

 nigris ; clypeo postice parum dilatato, marginibus reflexis ; tborace relative parvo, ante medium sub- 

 angulatim dilatato, angulis posticis subrectis, disperse punctulato, margine basali integro ; elytris striis
