 subinterrupto, superficie paullo ina3quali, irregulariter sat grosse punctato ; pectore griseo-villoso. Tibias 

 anticse bidentatae. Mesosternum inter coxas lato, apice .(juxta metasternum) interdum transverse sub-

Long. 11-12 millim. tf § . 



Hab. Mexico, Puebla, Teapa (Salle), Jalapa, Yautepec, Oaxaca (Edge); British 

 Honduras, E. Hondo (JBlancaneaux) ; Guatemala, Zapote, Volcan de Atitlan, 

 Pantaleon (Champion); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 



Distinguished from A. irrorata, Blanch., with which it agrees in the densely strigulose 

 opaque pygidium, by the three twin rows of foveoles on the elytra sharply distinguished 

 from the other smaller punctures. 



Thirty examples, varying a little in the number of black spots on the elytra. 



The foveee of the elytra are mostly a little elongated, and in them are aggregated from 

 two to five of the ordinary punctures, leaving spaces between the foveae free of punctures. 



I have adopted (with a slight alteration of termination) the MS. name given to the 

 species by Chevrolat. An example from Atitlan is figured. 



42. Anomala irrorata. (Tab. XII. fig. 22.) 



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



Hab. Mexico 1 , Cuernavaca, Puebla, Tuxtla, Catemaco, Oaxaca (Salle), Colima city, 

 Yautepec, Oaxaca (Hbge). 



There are many examples in the Salle collection labelled A. irrorata, Blanch., and 

 they agree with Blanchard's description as regards the sculpture of the elytra, which 

 differs from that of A. foraminosa in being more irregular and stronger, and wanting 

 the geminated rows of foveoles. Blanchard's phrase runs " Eltyris pallide testaceis, 

 profunde seriato-punctatis, punctis omnibus maculaque media versus suturam piceis." 

 A specimen from Oaxaca is figured. 



43. Anomala sticticoptera. 



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



Hab. Mexico \ Cordova (Salle) ; British Honduras, E. Sarstoon (Blancaneaux) ; 

 Guatemala (Salle), Volcan de Atitlan, Zapote, San Geronimo, Purula, Sabo (Champion) ; 

 Costa Eica (Van Patten), Irazu (Sogers). 



Distinguished from the three preceding species by the very finely and less densely 

 strigose and glabrous pygidium. The colour and sculpture of the elytra are similar, 

 but have a wider range of variation; some Guatemalan examples have the elytra 

 clear testaceous with castaneous suture; in others the black spots coalesce and the 

 elytra become blackish-castaneous with a few tawny patches. In most examples the
