151. Anomala andamanica, sp. nov. (Plate II, fig. 34.) 



Testaceous, with the vertex of the head, two adjacent spots at 

 the middle of the front margin of the pronotum (sometimes 

 absent and sometimes fused into a single large patch), a spot on 

 the humeral callus, an indistinct one on the apical callus, and the 

 extreme margins of the elytra, black. The elytral margin is 

 extremely narrow, but expands into a conspicuous patch round 

 the scutellum. The tarsi and extremities of the tibiae are deep 

 brown. 



The body is moderately elongate, rather parallel-sided and 

 depressed. The head is strongly and closely punctured, and the 

 clypeus rather small, with its margin strongly rounded at the 

 sides but straight in the middle. The pronotum is finely but 

 strongly and closely punctured, rounded at the sides and 

 margined at the base. The scutellum is i-ather closely punc- 

 tured, and the elytra are deeply punctate-striate. The pygidium 

 is strongly and densely punctured. The metasternum is densely 

 and tlie abdomen less closely punctured, and the clothing of the 

 lower surface is exceedingly fine and sparse. 



c^ . The body is a little narrower than in the female, the eyes 

 larger, the clypeus rather smaller, the antennae very long and the 

 front tibia broader, with very short and sharp teeth. 



Length, 13-15 mm. ; breadth, 6*5-7'5 mm.

Type in the British Museum. 



This species is extremely like A. communis, Burm., but the 

 clypeus is not quite so small and tlie sculpture rather stronger. 

 The pronotum is more closely punctured and therefore less 

 shining ; the black spot or spots upon it, when present, at once 

 identify the species. 



152. Anomala latipes. 



Anomala latipes, Arrow, Arm. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) x, 1912, p. 332. 



Bright yellow, with the head behind the eyes, a spot on each 

 shoulder and a broad sutural line extending to the base, black. 

 A pair of black spots sometimes appears at the middle of the 

 pronotum. The tarsi are reddish. 



The body is rather cylindrical in shape, nearly parallel-sided 

 and not very depressed. The clypeus is rugose, short and nearly 

 straight in front, and the forehead is closely punctured. The
