plainly costate ; in the male only the basal part of the second and

 these irregular punctures vary ; pygidium covered with closely set, 

 deep punctures ; pectus very slightly pubescent ; anterior tibiae 

 bi-dentate outwardly in both sexes ; inner claw of anterior and 

 intermediate tarsi cleft, the anterior one of the male broad.

 Plate XLI., fig. 47. 



Flavescent, with the head, the discoidal part of the prothorax the 

 scutellum and the tibiae reddish brown with a strong metallic sheen, 

 which is also, but in a much lesser degree, noticeable on the elytra ; 

 head deeply and very closely punctured, the punctures are more 

 irregular on the clypeus, which is therefore more shagreened, and is 

 plainly attenuate laterally with the angles broadly rounded, and the 

 anterior part sub-truncate ; prothorax a little broader at the base 

 than across the median part, and covered with somewhat closely 

 set, round, moderately shallow punctures equi-distant all over the 

 surface ; scutellum with somewhat scattered, round, moderately 

 deep punctures ; elytra a little shorter in proportion to the size than 

 any of the South African species, being only twice as long as the 

 prothorax, deeply punctato-striate, especially the first four strige, 

 the four intervals of which are distinctly costate ; the third interval 

 is pluri-punctate from the base to about one-fifth of the length ; the 

 pygidium is closely punctate, and the pectus only slightly villose ; 

 anterior tibiae bi-dentate outwardly ; inner claw of the anterior and 

 intermediate tarsi cleft in both sexes, the anterior inner claw is very 

 broad in the male. 



Length 10-10^ mm. ; width 5f-6 mm. 



Hah. Mozambique (Louren^o-Marquez). 



Anomala pakca, n. spec. 



Testaceous, with the head reddish brown, the prothorax has a 

 very broad fuscous sub-metallic patch covering the whole of the 

 central part, and also a round spot close to the supra-lateral fossa 

 which, as often as not, coalesces with the central patch ; elytra with
