406 SUPPLEMENT. 



coxas angustum et anguste declivi-carinatum. J . Tarsi antici ungue majore lato~robusto deflexo, dente 

 superiore brevi et tenui vix abbreviato ; articulo unguiculari robusto, infra profunde sinuato. 

 Long. 11-13 millim. S 2 • 



Sab. Guatemala, Coban and La Tinta in Vera Paz (Conradt). 

 Several examples. 



68 (a). Anomala smitlii. 



A. cupricollis individuis minoribus similis, sed differt corpore supra densius et subtilius punetato, vix nitido. 

 Pusco-seneus, elytris fulvo-testaceis disco interdum grosse fusco-maeulatis. Caput densissime confluenter 

 punctulatum, opacum ; clypeo minus quadrato, angulis magis rotundatis ; tborax et scutellum dense sed 

 plerumque discrete punctulati, subnitidi ; elytra subtiliter et densissime confluenter punctulata, utrinque 

 striis geminatis tribus grosse et irregulariter pnnctatis, stria suturali apicem versus solum impressa. 

 Mesosternum apice (juxta metasternum) vix incrassatum. Pygidium densissime subtiliter scabroso- 

 punctulatum, opacum. d 1 • Ungues antici profunde flssi, dente superiore tenuiore, baud breviore, articulo 

 unguiculari subtus acute sinuato. 



Long. 16-18 millim. <$ . 



Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (II H. Smith). 



Four examples, all males. 



The two unnamed Anomala?, Nos. 45 and 104, from Playa Vicente, are possibly 

 females of this species ; but their mutilated condition, especially the absence of anterior 

 and intermediate tarsi, renders their determination doubtful. They are more oblong 

 in form and somewhat smaller than the four examples above described. 



Anomala nitidula (p. 246). 



The following beautiful colour-variety is to be added : — 



Var. a. escuintlensis. Eufo-cuprea, tborace vitta marginali albo-testacea, elytris cuprascenti-fulvis. 



Hab. Guatemala, Escuintla (Conradt). 

 One male example only. 



Anomala vidua (p. 247). 



The following is an interesting local modification : — 



Yar. A. crassesculpta. — Caput densissime minute scabroso-punctatum, vertice laeviore ; tborax grosse spatiose 

 punctatus ; elytra utrinque costis tribus elevatis, interstitiis sat grosse punctatis. <5 . Eufus, tborace vitta 

 lata (interdum in duas divisa) elytrisque nigris ; $ dilutius rufa, elytris flavo-testaceis, tborace maculis 

 discoidalibus duabus nigris. Pedes utroque sexu rufo-testacei tarsis semper concoloribus. 



Hab. Guatemala, Chimaltenango (Conradt). 



It will be seen that the modification relates chiefly to the sculpture, the only colour- 

 difference being that the tarsi in the variety are pale in both sexes and black (at least 

 in all the examples before me) in the Mexican A. vidua : an analogous difference in the 

 form and colour of the sexes is presented by both type form and variety.
