the suture and all the dorsal striae infuscate but with the seven 

 costate intervals testaceous ; clypeus and anterior part of the head 

 strongly and closely shagreened, basal part of the head closely 

 punctured ; the clypeus is sub-truncate in front and moderately 

 rounded laterally ; prothorax of normal shape, and with the supra- 

 lateral fossa conspicuously deep, it is covered with very closely set 

 equi-distant, moderately deep, round punctures ; scutellum somewhat 

 closely punctured ; elytra plainly costate on the dorsal part ; the 

 costae are not carinate, and are smooth, the punctures in the striae 

 are deep and somewhat irregular towards the sides, and the second 

 interval is filled with punctures irregularly disposed from the base to 

 four-fifths of the length ; pygidium sometimes slightly infuscate, 

 covered with coalescing, shallow, somewhat cicatricose small foveae ; 

 pectus very little pubescent ; anterior tibiae bi-dentate ; claws of 

 anterior and intermediate tarsi cleft in the female, the only sex 

 I know. 



Not unlike the female of .1. dorsata, but with the elytra more 

 ampliate laterally behind, and easily distinguished from all the 

 other South African species by the irregular punctuation of the 

 second interval extending from the base to four-fifths of the 

 length.

" Eeddish brown, head and prothorax with an aeneous sheen, 

 vaguely and finely punctate, elytra striato-punctate. 



Length 5 lin. 



One example from Tette (Mozambique). Similar to A. vctula, 

 Wiedem., from the Cape, but smaller and relatively naiTower. The 

 colour is a tolerably bright brown-red, not without metallic glance on 

 the head and prothorax which are furnished with fine scattered 

 punctures ; the head is marginate, the margin not reflexed ; the 

 elytra have rows of punctures, the interspaces being flat, provided 

 here and there, but always sparely, with impressed punctures ; the 

 under side and the legs are like the upper side brow'n-red, only 

 somewhat darker. The tibiae of the fore-legs are bi-dentate, the 

 external broader claw is cleft." 



Anomala sebakdana, n. spec. 

 Very pale straw-colour with the head reddish or brownish red ; prothorax with 

 two discoidal black patches, suture of elytra black; pygidium with a broad, 

 triangular fuscous, or black, basal patch ; clypeus parallel, truncate in front, 

 closely punctured like the frontal part ; prothorax plainly finely and closely 

 punctured ; elytra with the same sculpture as A. prcbativa, with which it is closely 

 connected, the genital armature being very, yet not quite similar, apart from its 

 .smaller size it is also distinguished from the latter by the foveolato-punctate
