are very strongly and deeply sulcate, with the sulci rather inde- 

 finitely punctured, the primary costse narrow and convex, and the 

 intervening (second and fourth) intervals strongly and confluently 

 punctnred. The pygidiura is coarsely transversely rugose and 

 fringed with long hairs at the apex. The mesosternum is not 

 produced, and the metasternum is densely punctured and clothed 

 with not very long or thick yellow hair. The front tibia is 

 bidentate, the hind tibia moderately slender, not inflated or con- 

 stricted, and the longer claw cleft on the front and middle feet. 



J . The antennse are moderately long, the teeth of the front 

 tibia are not strong or sharp, and the lower lobe of the inner 

 front claw is dilated. 



Length, 13 nun.; breadth, 7 mm.

Type in the British Museum. 



The type remains the only known specimen of this species. Only 

 the clypeus, pygidium and parts of the legs of this specimen show 

 a shght metallic lustre, but it is possible that it is not quite normal 

 and that others will prove to be more deeply and brilliantly coloured. 



169. Anomala dilatata, sp. nov. 



Light chestnut-brown, with the lateral margins of the pronotum, 

 the pygidium, lower surface and femora pale yellow, the head, 

 pronotum and scutellum having a light metallic green suffusion. 



The shape is shortly oval, with the pronotum rather narrow 

 and tlie elytra regularly dilating from the shoulders to near the 

 extremities. It is compact and convex, only moderately shining 

 above, with the legs and sternum clothed with rather long and 

 thick yellow hair. The head is densely rugose, with the clypeal 

 margin strongly reflexed, rounded at the sides and nearly straight 

 in front. The pronotum is rather strongly and closely punc- 

 tured, with the sides evenly rounded, the front angles nearly 

 rioht angles, the hind angles rounded and the base completely 

 margined. The scutellum is well punctured, and the elytra bear 

 a sutural line and two dorsal pairs of lines of strongly impressed 

 punctures, the interval between the latter bearing a row of 

 punctures disrupted behind, the subsutural and humeral intervals 

 very broad and strongly and irregularly punctured. The pygidium 

 is transversely striolated and bears a few long erect hairs towards 

 its extremity. The tibiae are short, the front ones armed with 

 two strong teeth, the hind ones dilated at the extremity. The 

 longer front and middle claws are cleft. 



cJ . The club of the antenna is as long as the footstalk, and the 

 inner front claw is short, broad and strongly angulated at its 

 low^er edge. 



I have not seen a female.
