middle. The pygidium is deeply, but not very closely, transversely 

 striolated. The metasternum is coarsely punctured at the sides 

 and thinly clothed with short yellow hair. The legs ai-e short 

 and stoutj the front tibia armed with two strong teeth, the hind 

 tibia very short and broad, and the longer claw cleft on the front 

 and middle feet.

I have seen only females of this species, which, although super- 

 ficially rather like A. decipiens, has very well marked characters 

 in the very glossy pronotum, shape of the clypeus, distinct hind 

 angles of the thorax, etc. 



188. Anomala angusta. 



Anomala angusta, Arrow, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) ix, 1912, p. 79. 



Testaceous, with a slight golden or coppery suffusion and with 

 a rather vague dark patch on each side of the pronotum. 



It is a long narrow insect, slightly increasing in width from in 

 front backwards and not very convex. The head is rugosely punc- 

 tured, and the clypeus is semicircular. The pronotum is strongly 

 and closely punctured and lightly sulcate along the middle, 

 strongly contracted in front and broadest at the base ; the sides 

 are angulated before the middle, and nearly straight from there to 

 the angles, which are sharp, the front angles acute and the hind 

 right angles, the base being completely margined. The scutellum 

 is closely punctured and rather rounded at the apex, and the 

 elytra are deeply and rather evenly striated, the striae rather 

 indistinctly punctured, the interstices convex and very sparsely 

 punctured. The pygidium and the sides of the metasternum are 

 rugose and clothed with grey hair, and the abdomen is coarsely 

 punctured and more scantily hairy. The legs are long and 

 slender, the front tibia bidentate, and the longer claw of the 

 front and middle feet cleft at the apex, the latter very minutely. 



S . The inner front claw forms an extremely broad lamina. 



5 . The inner front claw is rather broad. 



This species is related to A. straminea. Semen., but it is much 

 more elongate and slightly metallic. 



Length, 10-12-5 mm. ; breadth, 5-7 mm.
