Colaspis flavocostata avaloni
DESCRIPTION.—A series of six specimens collected at Avalon, New Jersey, and six others from various localities in New Jersey are very close to flavocostata with a similar aedeagus, but there are minor differences—the eyes are farther apart, the length of the first hind tarsal joint is shorter, the costae flatter in most specimens, and the elytral punctures coarser, the coloring without metallic luster except on the epipleura, the head and prothorax are deeper yellow brown than the elytra but not at all aeneous, and neither does the dark brown undersurface have any metallic luster. I believe they can be regarded as a new subspecies of flavocostata and am naming them C. flavocostata avaloni.
TYPE.—Male, and five paratypes, USNM Type No. 26914.
TYPE-LOCALITY.—Avalon, New Jersey, George M. Greene collector.
OTHER LOCALITIES.—New Jersey: Lockport; Stone Harbour; Atlantic City; Helmbach; Anglesea; all collected by George M. Greene.
