9S RUTELIX.i:. 



Length, 7'5-8*5 mm. ; breadth, 4-4-5 mm. 

 SiKKiM : Kurseong {Verschraeglien) •, Assam: Shillong {E. T. 

 Atkinson, F. W. Champion). 



Type in M. Rene Oberthiir's collection. 



Genus ANOPLANOMALA, nov. 



Type, Anomala glohidosa, Shai'p. 



Range. Southern India. 



Form rather short, compact and convex, with the sternum 

 thickly clothed with rather long, soft hair. Clypeus simply 

 rounded. Mandible entire and rounded at the apex. Maxilla 

 short, armed with short, sharp teeth. Mentum rather long and 

 narrow. Basal margin of the pronotiini gently trisinuated and 

 having a complete fine marginal stria. Prosternum and meso- 

 sternum without processes. Front tibia bidentate externally and 

 without a distinct terminal spur. Hind tibia short or moderately 

 long, the middle and hind tibiae without terminal spurs or with 

 a single one only. 



Other features are as in Anomala. 



The two species for which this genus is constituted differ from 

 Anomala only in the absence of some or all of the tibial spurs, 

 of which, except in the Coprin^, the Lamellicornia have normally 

 one to each front tibia and two to each of the four posterior 

 tibiae. They are always much larger than the short spines which 

 usually fringe the end of the tibia. These spurs in Anoplanomala 

 are wanting, except for a single one upon each of the four hinder 

 tibiae in the female A. glohulosa and a single one upon the middle 

 tibia of the male A. cameola. The female of the latter is not yet 

 known.

Very deep red-brown, with the head and pronotum black, the 

 antennae and the three basal ventral segments of the abdomen 

 yellow, and the tarsi reddish. 



It is a small species, rather shortly ovate in form, very shining 

 and convex, with a rather long but not dense clothing of greyish 

 hairs beneath. The clypeus is nearly semicircular, moderately 

 closely punctured, with the margin strongly reflexed. The fore- 

 head is rather rugosely punctured. The pronotum is very finely 

 and sparingly punctured, with the sides well rounded, the front
