surface is finely punctured and only very scantily hairy. There 

 is no uiesosteriial process. The front tibia is tridentate and the 

 longer claw of the front and middle feet cleft ; the hind tibia is 

 not strougly inflated or constricted. 



c?. The inner front claw is very broad and divergently cleft, 

 and the last abdoiuiual segment is extremely short and only 

 visible at the sides. 



2 . The penultimate ventral segment is very broad and the last 

 segment well developed. 



Length, 11-5-14-5 mm.; breadth, 7-8-5 mm.

Type in the British Museum ; co-types in the Genoa Museum. 



This is closely related to .-1. varicolor, Gyll., of which it has 

 the general appearance and type of coloration, as well as great 

 variability in the degree of piguientation. 



Taken at light. 



157. Anomala vivida, sp. nov. 



Eed-browu, with the upper surface, tibiae and tarsi suffused 

 with a brilliant golden-green lustre, the elytra generally becoming 

 a little paler towards their extremities, and the apex of tlie 

 pygidium, the lower surface of the body, the femora and antennaj 

 reddish yellow. 



Bather broadly oval in shape and only moderately convex. 

 The eyes are very large and prominent, the clypeus small, with 

 its margin strongly reflexed and nearly straiglit in front. The 

 clypeus and forehead are rather finely rugose, and the vertex is 

 strongly punctured. The pronotum is closely punctured but 

 very shining, with its sides strongly curved, the front angles 

 nearly right angles, the hind angles obtuse, and the base strongly 

 trisinuated and completely margined. The scutellum is impressed 

 at its apex and strongly punctured. The elytra are deeply but 

 rather indefinitely punctate-striate, the subsutural interval being 

 very broad, and deeply and ratlaer coarsely punctured. The 

 pygidium is coarsely transversely striolated. The sides of the 

 metasternum are finely rugose and clothed with rather long, but 

 not very tiiick, tawny hair. The front tibia is armed with two 

 strong teeth, the hind tibia is inflated before the middle and 

 rather dilated at the extremity, and the longer claws of the front 

 and middle feet are cleft. 



c? . The club of the antenna is very long, and the e3'^es are 

 separated by a distance only about one and a half times their 

 diameter.

Lenijfh, 15-17 mm. ; breadth, 7'5-8'5 mm. 



Assam : Cachar. 



Tyjye in the British Museum. 



This and the seven following species are known almost exclu- 

 sively from male specimens, the females probably being sluggisli 

 and therefore rarely seen.
