120. Anomala olivieri. 



Anomala olivieri, Sharp,* Anu. Mag. Nat. Hist. (7) xii, 1903, p. 471. 



Testaceous, with the head, the hind tibiso and all the tarsi 

 reddisli, and the extreme front margin of the clypeus, the head 

 behind the eyes, the pronotum (except the lateral marf^ins, each 

 of which has a small dark spot), the elytra and more or less of 

 the pygidium, dai'k brown. 



It is a rather massive, moderately elongate species, smooth but 

 not very shining above, and clothed upon the lower surface and 

 legs with long tawny hair. The head is rather finely punctate- 

 rugose, with the front margin strongly reflexed and nearly straight. 

 The pronotum is suhopaque, with minute but not very close 

 punctures ; its sides are strongly curved, the front angles acute, 

 the hind angles very obtuse, and the base margined and very 

 feebly trisinuate. The scutellum bears a few minute punctures. 

 The elytra are shallowly but rather coarsely punctured, most of 

 the punctures arranged in longitudinal rows, except upon the 

 very broad subsutural space. The pygidium bears fine, rather 

 scattered, punctures, but is finely and lightly rugose at the sides, 

 and shining and almost smooth at the apex. The front tibia 

 is tridentate, the uppermost tooth very feeble, the hind tibia is 

 moderately long and slender, and the larger claw of the front and 

 middle feet is cleft. 



(^ . The club of the antenna is nearly twice as long as in the 

 female ; the apical tooth of the front tibia is short and sharp, 

 and the inner front claw is very unequally cleft. 



2 . The club of the antenna is short ; the apical tooth of the 

 front tibia is long and clubbed, and the inner front claw is nearlv 

 equally cleft. 



Lenf/tJi, 19-20 mm.; breadth, 10*5-11 mm.

121. Anomala illusa. (Plate II, fig. 23.) 



A7iomaIa illusa, Arrow, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) viii, 1911, 

 p. 363. 



This has the closest possible similarity to A. elata. P., and 

 A. superJJua, Arr., but it is rather broader and more convex and a 

 little more shining, the head is less densely punctured, tlie 

 clypeus narrower and less flat and opaque, and the legs are 

 stouter, all the tibice being shorter and broader, and the basal 

 joints of the middle and hind tarsi more compact. The third 

 tibial tooth is almost obsolete. Tiie a^deagus of the male has the 

 paramera simply rounded externally and the ventral lobe bluntly 

 pointed. 



(^ . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is acute. 



$ . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is very blunt.
