ANOMALA. 227 



many years ago, without name, belongs to this species ; it is probably from some locality 

 in Southern Mexico. This specimen is rather smaller (8J millim.), and has the black 

 sutural vitta much broader, and the lateral and apical borders of the elytra and a large 

 part of the scutellum also black ; but the form and sculpture are similar. 



30. Anomala flavilla. (Tab. XII. fig. 18.) 



Oblonga, flavo-testacea, capite ruflore (vertiee interdum fuseo), thorace maculis duabus (transversim positis, 

 interdum obsoletis) elytroramque sutura angusta (interdum dilatata) et toto limbo exteriore fusco-nigris ; 

 clypeo sat parvo, semicirculari ; tborace lateribus arcuatis, angulis posticis rotundatis, margine basali 

 integro, ^equaliter convexo, disperse punctulato ; elytris regulariter punctato-striatis, interstitio lato sub- 

 suturali confuse (haud numerose) punctato ; pygidio discrete punctato, nitido, convexo. Tibiae antice 

 subtridentatse. 



Tarsi antici ungue majore, 3 medio leviter dilatato, dente superiore tenui paullo breviore, $ graciliore lon- 

 gioreque apice fisso. 



Long. 8-9 millim. 



Hob. Mexico, Tres Marias Islands, Ventanas in Durango (Forrer). 

 Four examples. A specimen from Ventanas is figured. 



31. Anomala decolor. 



A.fiavipenni (Brum.) affinis et similis, sed differt tibiis anticis tridentatis etc. Oblongo-ovata, rufo-testacea, 



nitida (tborace interdum plagis duabus rufescentibus), vertiee callo humerali suturaque anguste fuscis ; 



clypeo sicut in A. fiavipenni concavo sed minus quadrato, subsemicirculari, fortiter sed discrete punctato ; 



thorace lateribus arcuatis, angulis posticis fere rotundatis, margine basali integro, disperse punctato; 



elytris magis regulariter punctato -striatis, interstitiis subsuturali (lato) et bumerali confuse (sub-bise- 



riatim) punctatis striaque tertia (ab interstitio subsuturali) paullo irregulari ; pygidio discrete punctato ; 



tibia? anticaa dente superiore (3°) prominente. Mesosternum inter coxas angustissimum. Unguis major 



anterior ( $ ) sicut in A. fiavipenni fissus. Antennae cum clava sat elongatse. 

 Long. 11-12 millim. $ . 



Hab. Mexico (Flohr, in coll. Bates). 



Females only. Although the four examples are not so ticketed I believe they came 

 from the neighbourhood of the city of Mexico. 



32. Anomala megalops. (Tab. XII. fig. 19.) 



A. fiavipenni (Burm.) affinis, sed valde differt oculis maximis globosis. Oblongo-ovata, rufo-testacea, nitida, 

 fronte et vertiee sutura calloque bumerali nigris, tborace interdum plagis duabus vagis fuscis ; clypeo 

 postice parum dilatato, margine sat alte elevato parce subtiliter ruguloso, oculis magnis globosis ; tborace 

 brevi et lato, lateribus arcuatis, angulis posticis valde obtusis, margine basali integro, disperse punctato ; 

 elytris sicut in A. decolori punctato-striatis, interstitiis subsuturali et humerali parce confuse punctatis ; 

 pygidio convexo, discrete punctato ; tibiis anticis tridentatis. Metasternum inter coxas angustissimum. 



cJ? Antennge elongate, clava valde elongata gracilis. Tarsi antici ungue majore elongato nullomodo dilatato, 

 dente superiore breviore, articulo unguiculari subtus valde dentato. 



Long. 11 millim. tf? 



Hob. Mexico, Cordova (Salle), Jalapa (Edge). 



Two examples only, both apparently males. The antennal joints 3-5 are rather 

 longer than usual in the Anomalce, and the club is very long and slender. The same
