have each five complete punctured dorsal striae, the 2nd interval 

 very wide and bearing many large irregular punctures, and the 

 4th having a few punctures which i'orm an imperfect row along 

 the middle. The pygidium bears coarse and not close transverse 

 striolse and is decorated at the base with two tufts of greyish 

 hairs. The lower surface and legs are similarly clothed with long 

 but not close grey hairs, except at the middle of the abdomen. 

 The mesosternal process is vertical in front and not produced 

 beyond the front coxae. 



6 . The inner front claw has the lower lobe very broad, the 

 front tibia is armed with two short and sharp teeth, and the hind 

 tarsi are rather longer and more slender than in the female. 



Length, 8-9 mm. ; breadth, 4-5 mm.

This species exactly resembles P. pilosa, but is easily distin- 

 guished by the broad reflexed clypeus. The elytral sculpture is 

 also slightly different. 



67. Popillia pilosa. 



Popillia pilosa, Arrow, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xii, 191-3, p. 51. 



Golden or coppery green, with the lower surface and legs 

 darker coppei'y green, the elytra testaceous with a metallic sheen 

 and with their outer edges coppery black. 



The body is ovate and a little depressed. The clypeus is rugose 

 and short, with the front margin feebly rounded and slightly 

 reflexed. The forehead is rugosely punctured and clothed with 

 long erect yellow hairs, and the vertex strongly and distinctly 

 punctured. The pronotum bears coarse punctures, which become 

 confluent near the sides, and is clothed with long but not close 

 yellow hairs ; the lateral margins are scarcely curved, angulated 

 before the middle, with the front and hind angles sharp, the 

 former produced, the latter right angles. The scutellum bears a 

 few unequal punctures, and each elytron bears seven nearly equi- 

 distant dorsal punctured striae, the 2nd and 5th less impressed 

 than the rest and abbreviated behind. There is no abrupt lateral 

 flange. The pygidium is punctured and bears two basal tufts of 

 yellow hairs. The lower surface is clothed, except along the 

 middle line of the abdomen, with long yellowish hairs, and the 

 mesosternal process is short and vertical in front. 



c? . The inner front claw has the lower lobe very broad and 

 ungulate near the base, the two teeth of the front tibia are short 

 and sharp, and the hind tarsi are rather longer and more slender 

 than those of the female.
