Anomala damara, n. spec, 

 Plate XLI., fig. 29. 



Pale brick-red, shining, palpi and antennae testaceous, tarsi darker, 

 head very slightly infuscate in the frontal part, deeply and very 

 closely punctured, the clypeus is rounded laterally, slightly arcuate 

 in front in the male and sub-truncate in the female, the margins are 

 reflexed and the punctuation is more rugose than on the head; 

 prothorax nearly sub-parallel from the median very slightly ampliate 

 part to the basal angle, but slightly sinuate, little convex and im- 

 punctate ; scutellum impressed longitudinally in the middle and very 

 slightly punctate ; elytra sinuate laterally at a short distance from 

 the shoulder and ampliate from about the median part, somewhat 

 deeply punctato-striate with some of the intervals faintly costulate 

 and the broad interval between the first and the second stria filled 

 with irregular shallow punctures giving it a coriaceous appearance, 

 the punctures are nearly obHterated on the humeral callus but not 

 on the apical ; pygidium with shallow, not closely set, small punctures 

 and having no fringe of hairs ; pectus clothed with flavous hairs, legs 

 slightly hairy inwardly; anterior tibiae bi-dentate outwardly, inner 

 claw of anterior and intermediate tarsi simple in the male, cleft in 

 the female. 



Length 13i-15 mm. ; width 8 mm. 



Hah. Damaraland (Otjimbingwe). 



Anomala exoleta, n. spec, 



Plate XLI., fig. 30. 



Pale testaceous, shining, hind tibiae and tarsi darker ; head finely 

 yet deeply and closely punctured especially in the anterior part, 

 clypeus sub-truncate in front but broadly rounded laterally, the 

 margin is reflexed and the punctuation is similar to that of the 

 anterior part of the head ; prothorax slightly sinuate laterally between 

 the median part which is not ampliate and the basal angle where 

 it is slightly broader than across the median part, very finely 

 aciculate, but the aciculation is hardly distinct in the centre of the 

 disk where there is a faint impressed median line obliterated occa- 

 sionally ; scutellum with a few small lateral and basal punctures ; 

 elytra regularly punctato-striate, the punctures are moderately deep 

 and the four raised intervals distinct, the punctures are obliterated 

 near the humeral and apical callus, and those between the first and 

 second punctate striae are shallow but not very rugose ; the shape is 

 similar to that of the two preceding species ; pygidium very closely
