Anomala lucida, Klug, 

 Monatsb. Berl. Acad., 1855, p. 659 ; Peter's Eeis., p. 259. 



" Obscurely ferruginous, with an aeneous sheen on the upper side ; 

 head, thorax, and scutehum with punctate impressions ; elytra striato- 

 punctate. 



Length 4^ lin. 



One example from Sena (Mozambique). Somewhat smaller than 

 A. brunnea, but otherwise similarly shaped. Dark brown, metallic 

 above ; head, prothorax, and scutellum more strongly and more 

 densely punctate ; the elytra with rows of punctures, the inter- 

 spaces scarcely raised and smooth ; anterior tibiae bi-dentate ; claws 

 as in A. bnmnea." 



Anomala lutea, Klug, 

 Monatsb. Berl. Acad., 1885, p. 659 ; Peter's Eeis., p. 258. 



" Ovate, yellowish testaceous, head, margin of prothorax, suture 

 of elytra and tarsi ferruginous. 



Length 9 lin. 



Very like .4. iKtllida, Fabr., only a little larger. The yellow^ 

 colouration extends over almost the whole body, only the head, 

 with the exception of the antennge, the dorsal surface of the 

 prothorax, the suture of the elytra, their apical margin, and the 

 tarsi are brown ; the area between the ej^es is a little more deeply 

 impressed, and the prothorax more deeply punctured than in the 

 case of A. pallida ; the elytra are more frequently and more irre- 

 gularly punctured, especially in the intervals ; the brown colouration 

 of the suture is only feebly indicated ; and that of the margin is 

 limited to the apex of the elytra ; anterior tibiae bi-dentate. This 

 species belong to the Sub-genus Hcteroplia of Burmeister. Several 

 examples from Tette (Mozambique)." 



Anomala plagiata, Burm., 

 Handb. d. Entomol., iv., 2, p. 496. 



" Testaceous, shining, with the head, the disk of the prothorax, and 

 a broad sutural patch on the elytra black ; margin fuscous, tarsi 

 infuscate. 



Length 6 mm. <y . 



From Kaffirland. Collection of Mr. Germar. Shorter than 

 A. vetula, but with the same shape ; the head is somewhat broader, 

 and the anterior margin less reflexed ; club of the antennae very 

 thick and broad ; head and prothorax finely punctate, the former 



pygidium, which is only aciculate in comparison, especially in the median part, in 

 A. prohativa : inner claw of anterior and intermediate tarsi cleft in both sexes. 

 Length llj-llf mm. ; width 5^6 mm. 

 Hah. Southern Ehodesia (Sebakwe). 



Anomala opacicollis, n. spec. 

 This species is also very closely allied to A. prohativa, and the shape of the 

 genital armature of both species is the same, but the colour is paler and the body is 

 a little more elongate in proportion to the size ; the prothorax, which is somewhat
