Length 8 to 11 mm. The males have the elytra shining, coarsely 
punctured, generally wholly black; but a series collected by Mr. Hopping 
in Fresno county, California, paired with typical females, have the elytra 
with testaceous markings. Black males were taken at the same time and 
place. The females have the elytra opaque, finely punctured, bright red, 
with the basal spots near the suture and the median diskal spots black. 
One hundred and thirty-eight specimens have been examined from 
California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Idaho. 
Type locality: “Shoal water bay, Oregon and Washington Territory.” 
(37) Anoplodera lucifera Hopping, 1922, Can. Ent., July, p. 164. 
Length 10 to 13 mm. Only two specimens are known. It resembles 
A. sanguinea Lee. in colour; body black with bright red, opaque elytra, 
which are much longer in proportion than those of sanguinea. 
Type locality: Cochise county, Arizona. 
Since this species w'as described, Mr. H. W. Wenzel has sent us a speci- 
men for examination, which, although smaller, 10 mm., is very evidently 
the same species. It was taken in Jemez mountains, N.M., and in the 
same collection there is a typical specimen of haldemani Csy. of the same 
place and date. This species may possibly prove to be the female of A. 
haldemani Csy. ; but there are greater differences between these two forms 
than exist between the sexes of any species of Anoplodera known to us except 
possibly laetifica Lee. The elytra of haldemani, in addition to the great 
difference in colour, are rather closely punctured and asperate, whereas 
the elytra of lucifera are not at all asperate and not closely punctured.

One specimen from Jemez mountains, New Mexico, was sent us by 
Mr. H. W. Wenzel for determination. It agrees with Colonel Casey’s 
very good description and is, like the type, a male. Length, 10-5 mm. 
Original Description 
“L. haldemani, n. sp. Slender and rather convex, intense black throughout the body, 
legs, and antennae, the elytral humeri obliquely red; lustre moderately shining, pubescence 
short, sparse, and inconspicuous. Head wider than long, the tempora and base nearly as 
in sanguinea ; surface flat, very densely punctate; antennae (male) nearly as long as the 
body, rather stout. Prothorax much longer than wide, as in sanguinea, but much less 
inflated or subangulate at the middle; disk rather coarsely, deeply and less extremely 
densely punctate, the punctures in close mutual contact, without distinct median im punc- 
tate line except very narrowly toward base, the line generally with a. very fine impressed 
stria. Elytra between two and three times as long as wide, at base nearly one-half wider 
than the prothorax, the humeri rounded but rather prominent; sides evenly and rather 
strongly convergent from base to apex and straight; each elytron narrowly truncate at 
apex, the truncation slightly oblique and straight or extremely feebly sinuate, the angles 
obtuse; disk not very coarsely or densely punctate, the punctures deep and perforate 
toward base, becoming finer and more or less asperate toward apex, in some cases with 
traces of two narrow impunctate lines toward base. Under surface very finely and densely 
punctate, more conspicuously pubescent. 
Length 9 - 0 to 10*5; width 2 • 5 to 3 0 mm. 
Type locality; New Mexico. 
The two specimens are males, and are from the Levette cabinet. The species is 
allied to sanguinea, but differs greatly in coloration and punctation, and in the more 
narrowly and obliquely truncate elytral apices. The red humeral maculation is similar 
in form to that of 1 cmaeops basalis .
