 p. U(j ; Annual Report 1917-18, pp. 93-94. 



Hitherto mixed with polita. This is one of the three species hitherto 

 mixed up luider the name varians ; it is distinguishable by the incised 

 clypeus. 



It has been reared at Pusa from larva3 found in leaf-mould and at 

 Pusa and Dacca from lai-vse gnawing sugarcane stems below ground. 

 At Pusa the adult beetles have been taken at light and are also freely 

 attracted to the Andres- Maire trap, in larger numbers than those of 

 polita. 



Also recorded by Arrow from Calcutta, Chota Nagpur, Malda, 

 Murshidabad, Golconda (Vizagapatam), Bangalore, Coimbatore and 

 Mandalay. 



This species is undoubtedly a pest although we have as yet few records 

 of it as actually doing damage. 



Anomala olivieri, Sbp. 



Arrow, F. I. Rutel. p. U4. 



We have this from Xaduvatum (Nilgiris), May 19Ul, and from 

 Ootacamund (9 April 1901 ; C. A. Barber) where it occurs in numbers. 

 Arrow also records it from Cochin. 



It is not common as a rule. Mr. Ramakrishna 



Ayyar. 



Anomala elata, Fb. 



Arrow, F. I. Rutel. p. 145, f. 35. 



This species apparently represents polita in the South Indian Hills. Mr. Fletcher. 

 The hind tibia and tarsus are dark and the latter very thick (in polita 

 slender and not very dark). 



It is represented in the Pusa Collection from Pollibetta and Sidapur 

 in Coorg and from the Bababudin Hills. 



Anomala polita, Blanch. 



Arrow, F. I. Rutel. pp. 14G-147, t. 2, f. 24 ; Proc. Second Ent!. 

 Meeting, pp. 146, 174, 192, 245. 



This is one of the species hitherto mixed up under the name varians ; 

 it resembles bengalensis closely but has the clypeus straight (incised 

 in bengalensis).
