angles slightly acute, and the hind angles obtuse but well marked ; 



the base is scarcely lobed, very gently trisinuate and finely 

 margined. The scutellum is broad and 

 blunt and bears a few fine punctures, The 

 elytra bear seven similar and equidistant 

 striae, which are deeply impressed and 

 closely punctured, with narrow convex 

 intervals. The pygidium is evenly and 

 moderately strongly punctured. The meso- 

 sternura is not produced. The front tibia 

 has two strong blunt teeth, but is without 

 a terminal spur. The legs are short and 

 stout, the hind femora very thick. 



Fig.24.—Anoplanomala. cJ • The club of the antenna is as long 



glohdosa, cJ. as the footstalk. The inner claw of the 



front tarsus is sharp, slightly dilated, but 



scarcely perceptibly bifid. There are no tibial spurs. 



2 . The club of the antenna is about one-third as long as in the 



male, and the longer claw of the front and middle feet is bifid. 



There is a single short terminal spur to each of the four posterior 



tibise. The hind femur is extremely short and thick. 

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

Pale testaceous, with a very faint rosy tinge, the head and 

 pronotum coppery or coppery green. There are usually vague 

 dark markings upon the hind femora and the posterior part of the 

 abdomen. 



The form is short and ovate, vvith the greatest breadth behind 

 the middle of the elytra. The clypeus and forehead are rugosely 

 punctured, the former nearly semicircular, with its inargin 

 strongly reflexed. The vertex and pronotum are rather strongly 

 punctured, the sides of the latter angulated about the middle, the 

 front angles nearly right angles, tlie hind angles obtusely rounded, 

 the base gently sinuated and entirely margined. The scutellum 

 is minutely punctured, and the elytra bear closely packed im- 

 pressed rows of rather large punctures. The pygidium, meta- 

 sternum and abdomen are closely and evenly punctured, and the 

 mesosternum is not produced. The front tibia is bidentate, and 

 the larger claw of the front and middle feet cleft. The front 

 tibia is without a visible terminal spur, the middle tibia bears 

 a single one only, and the hind tibia is rather slender, with the 

 internal angle produced into a spine, but without articulated 

 spurs.
