 suturali et duabus utrinque prope callum apicalem exaratis, interstitio subsuturali late valde confuse sub- 

 confluenter multipunctato, interstitiis inter hoc et callum humeralem bis tribus (interstitio confuse punctato 

 interjecto), limbo apicali confluenter punctato ; pygidio dense acute recumbente granulato et cum propy- 

 gidio griseo-setoso. Mesosternum inter coxas conice productum et tumidum. Tibiae anticae bidentatae, 

 4 posticae mediocriter suratis, sat brevibus. S ■ Tarsi antici ungue majore dilatato, dente superiore paullo

Long. 14—17 millim.

Var. A. cliontalensis. Tborax toto metallicus. 



Hah. Nicaragua (Salle), Chontales (Belt, Janson). 



Closely allied to the North-American A. marginata (Fabr.), but differs in the 

 sculpture of the elytra. This, although variable, in A. granulipyga always shows six 

 interstices between the broad second interstice and the humeral callus, separated into 

 two groups of three each by a confused line of punctures. Sometimes this division is 

 not clearly perceptible, except behind towards the apical callus, and the broad second 

 interstice also varies in its definition. A typical example from El Reposo is figured. 



78. Anomala vanpatteni. 



A. marginatce (Fabr.) proximo affinis, paullo major et difFert interstitio secundo lato, confuse multipunctato. 

 Ovata, viridi-aenea, elytris saepe fulvo-castaneo translucentibus, tborace vitta laterali flava ; subtus aeneo- 

 testacea ; thorace sat dense, versus latera subconfluenter, punctato, angulis posticis fere rectis, basi versus 

 augulos marginato ; elytris profunde punctato-striatis, interstitio 2° lato (postice angustiore) confluenter 

 multipunctato, caeteris interstitiis convexis; pygidio dense subaspere punctato-ruguloso, griseo-setoso. 

 Mesosternum inter coxas breviter prominulum, conicum.

79. Anomala marginicollis. (A. valdeeostata, Tab. XIII. fig. 13.) 



Oblongo-ovata, viridi-aenea, capite antice limboque laterali thoracis fulvis, elytris castaneis aeneo-tinctis, 

 femoribus et tibiis partim flavo-testaceis ; capite dense punctato, clypeo subsemicirculari margine sat alte 

 reflexo ; thorace post medium vix ampliato, lateribus arcuatis, angulis posticis valde obtusis, sat dense 

 punctulato, basi immarginato ; elytris densissime subrugulose punctulatis, utrinque costis duabus (inter-

 pygidio dense transversim punctato-strigoso, griseo-setoso. Mesosternum inter coxas paullulum productum.
