of a GuUar tree. It differs from the allied species by its almost 

 uniformly pale colour, without a black vertex, and by the rouuded 

 sutural angles of the elytra. 



154. Anomala stenoptera, sp. nov. (Plate II, fig. 35.) 



Pale yellow, w'ith the extreme edges of the elytra dark (the 

 sutural edge most distinctly), and the tarsi reddish. 



It is very long, narrow and parallel-sided and rather smooth 

 and shining, vvitli long and very stout legs. 

 It is almost devoid of hairy clothing, but 

 each ventral segment has a close fringe of 

 stiff bristles, and the bristles of the tarsi 

 are very long. The head and clypeus are 

 moderately closely punctured, the latter 

 small and broadly rouuded. The pronotum 

 is rather closely and evenly punctured, with 

 the sides regularly rounded, the front angles 

 nearly right angles, the hind angles very 

 obtuse and the base completely margined. 

 The elytra are strongly but unevenly 

 punctate-striate, with a broad irregularly 

 Fig. ^2.— Anomala punctured subsutural interval. The pygi- 

 stenoptera, cJ. dium is shining and rather coarsely but 

 not closely punctured. The front tibia 

 is tridentate, and the longer claw of the front foot only is cleft. 



S ' The club of the antenna is rather long, the tibiae and tarsi 

 are very thick, and the teeth of the front tibia very minute.

Very dark metallic greeu or coppery above and beneath, or 

 pitchy black beneath. The antennae are red. 



The shape is convex, moderately elongate and cylindrical. The 

 entire sternum is clothed with rather short grey hairs, and the 

 abdominal segments have bands of short golden hairs at the sides. 

 The clypeus is densely granulated, with the margin rounded and 

 strongly refiexed, and the forehead is finely and closely punctured. 

 The pronotum is also finely and closely punctured, very closely at
