184 EUTELIN^. 



Males of this little species were found by Mr. Anclrewes flying 

 in swtirms over grass during the daytime, but the female is 

 apparently rare. 



178. Anomala pomona, sp. nov. 



Testaceous, with a metallic green suffusion, and with the head, 

 the pronotum (except the lateral margins), the seutellum, a broad 

 common sutural band upon the elytra (not quite reaching the 

 posterior margins), parts of the lower surface, the hind tibiae and 

 all the tarsi dark. 



It is oval in shape, convex and shining. The head is closely 

 rugose, with the clypeus broadly rounded. The pronotum is 

 rather unevenly and finely punctured, a little moi-e coarsely at 

 the sides, which are strongly rounded, the front angles are right 

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

 The seutellum is very finely punctured, and the elytra bear rather 

 even and equidistant lines of moderately fine close punctures, the 

 second row disrupted at the base. The pygidium is rather 

 coarsely and rugosely punctured. The front tibia is armed with 

 two strong teeth ; the hind tibia is short and stout and a little 

 constricted before the extremity ; the longer claw of the front 

 and middle feet is cleft. 



2 unknown. 



Leafjth, 11*5 mm. ; breadth, 6'5 mm. 



Bombay : Kasana, Igatpuri (July — Pusa Cull.). 



Type in the British Museum. 



179. Anomala dalbergiae, sp. nov. 



Testaceous, with a metallic suffusion, which is deep fiery red in 

 the male and pinkish or greenish golden in the female. The tarsi 

 in both sexes are brown. 



It is a small oval species, convex above and very smooth and 

 shining. The legs are short and stout. The head is gi-anulated, 

 the clypeal margin rounded at the sides and nearly straight in 

 the middle. The pronotum is irregularly, sparingly and very 

 finely punctured, but with coarser punctures towards the sides, 

 which are gently rounded, the front angles acute, the hind angles 

 obtuse and the base completely margined. The seutellum bears 

 only a few minute punctures, and the elytra are rather deeply 

 and coarsely striate-punctate ; the second (subsutural) interval 

 bears an incomplete row of punctures, and the fourth is broad 

 behind, where it bears a few scattered punctures ; the membranous 

 margin is rather broad. The pygidium is striolated (not very 

 finely). The front tibia is armed with two strong teeth, the hind 

 tibia is dilated in the middle, and the longer claw is cleft at the 

 tip in the front and middle feet. 



d . The teeth of the front tibia are short, but very sharp, and 

 the longer front claw is vexy broad. The colour, as stated above, 

 is deeper in the male than in the female. 



Length, 7-8 mm.; breadth, 4'5 mm.
