ANOMALA. 249 



The short setiform rudimentary tooth on the convex side of the external fore tarsal 

 claw is sometimes absent. The hind tibiae in this species are equal in length to 

 the tarsi. 



Named A. erythrocephala, Chevr., in the Salle collection, a name which cannot be 

 adopted, as it was used by Fabricius for a species of the genus. 



A specimen from Jacale is figured. 



100. Anomala ? 



Hal). Mexico (Salle, ex coll. Sturm). 



Closely allied to A. castaniceps, and perhaps only a well-marked local form of it, 

 differing chiefly in colour. A single example. 



III. Ungues omnes simplices. 



101. Anomala carinifrons. (Tab. XIII. fig. 24.) 



Oblongo-ovata, toto flavo-testacea, nitida ; capite densissime punctato-scabroso, vertice laeviore ; clypeo deflexo, 

 sat angusfce quadrato, angulis anfcicis obtusis, margine alte reflexo, sutura frontali cariniformi ; thorace 

 brevi, paullo ante medium latiore, lateribus late arcuatis, margine basali integro, supra sat dense et fortiter 

 punctato ; elytris striis punctatis decern, quarum l a -7 m profundis et 3 lateralibus vix impressis ; costis 

 tribus paullo convexis, interstitio 2° parum latiore, dimidio basali confuse sub-biseriatim punctato. 

 Pygidium convexum, nitidum, parce punctatum. Mesosternum sat angustum, declive, planum. d . Tarsi 

 antici ungue raajore sat gracile, haud dilatato ; antennarum clava valde elongata, articulis 2°-6 m brevibus, 

 2°-4 m subglobosis. 



Long. 13 millim. 



Hab. Mexico, Chihuahua city (Edge). 



Evidently a close ally of A. cavifrons, Lee, of Texas and New Mexico, differing 

 only in its larger size and strongly sculptured elytra. It is probably also found within 

 the United-States boundary, as I have an example from Arizona sent by Morrison. 



102. Anomala ? 



Hab. Mexico, San Andres Chalchicomula in Vera Cruz (Hbge). 



One mutilated example of a distinct species closely allied to the foregoing.. 



Species incertce sedis.
