55. Anomala ? 



Hab. Guatemala, Sinanja [Champion). 



A single very imperfect example of a species deceptively similar to the above, but 

 with a perfectly even thoracic surface, and remarkable for the extreme narrowness of 

 the mesosternum combined with a somewhat prominent triangular apex (not tuber- 

 culiform), advancing beyond the suture of the metasternum. 



56. Anomala doryphorina. (Tab. xni. fig. 3.) 



Gen. Doryphorce (Earn. Chrysomebnse) similis. Ovata, valde eonvexa, castaneo-rufa, polita, elytris utrinque 

 litura ovata magna a bumero (callum bumerali cingente) per basin curvata usque ad suturam et recte 

 usque prope apicem continuata ibique angulatim flexa et usque prope marginem lateralem extensa, flava ; 

 corpore subtus cum pedibus nigro-polito ; clypeo postice parum ampliato, cum fronte dense confluenter 

 punctato, margine sat elevato ; vertice lsevissimo ; tborace a basi ad apicem angustato, lateribus leviter 

 arcuatis, angulis posticis subrectis, margine basali medio interrupto ; elytris seriato-punctulatis, seriebus 

 alternis subobsoletis interstitiis subtilissime punctulatis, 2° lato, parce confuse punctulato ; pygidio aspere 

 densissime striguloso, opaco ; pectore tenuiter griseo-hirto. Tibiae anticse bidentatse, quatuor posteriores 

 valde suratse ; tarsi antici articulo unguiculari subtus prope basin dente obtuso elongate Mesosternum 

 mediocriter latum, apice paullulum prominente, polito. 



Long. 12 millim. 



Hab. Guatemala, Panima in Vera Paz 1800 feet (Champion). 



Two examples of the same sex, and, judging by the breadth of the larger claw of the 

 anterior tarsi, probably males ; the joint is, however, not abruptly dilated. The upper 

 slender part of the cleft claws in the four anterior tarsi is decidedly shorter than the 

 lower. 



57. Anomala chrysomelina. (Tab. XIII. fig. 4.) 



Prseeedenti subsimilis, at minor, antice angustata etc. Ovata, eonvexa, polita, flavo-testacea, seneo-tincta, 

 elytris flavo-testaceis, maculis utrinque duabus rotundis basalibus (altera prope scutellum altera bumerali), 

 fascia angulata mediana maculisque utrinque duabus apicalibus (altera marginali rotunda altera communi 

 suturali antice cum fascia anguste conjuncta) fulvo-rnfis ; capite subtiliter coriaceo, parum punctulato, 

 elypeo postice dilatato, antice subtruncato, margine parum elevato ; tborace a basi ad apicem angustato, 

 lateribus leviter arcuatis, basi immarginato, supra disperse punctulato ; elytris punctato-striatis, stria 2 a 

 versus basin confuse duplicata, 5 a et 8 a valde abbreviata et incompleta. Pygidium subtiliter subsparsim 

 undulato-strigulosum, nitidum. Tibias anticse unidentatse (apicali), dente 2° superiore obsoleto ; 4 posticse 

 minime suratae. Pectus et coxse posticse grosse punctata, fere glabra. Mesosternum angustum, sed apice 

 sat porrecto et antice compresso. 



Long. 9 millim. 



Kab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 



One example, probably a female, as the external claw of the anterior tarsi is long and
