206 BUTELIN.5. 



This species forms a connecting link between A. varier/ata and 

 A. diversipennis. It is rather smaller and narrower than the 

 latter and diflPers also in the truncate hind margins of the 

 elytra and tlie dark markings of the head and pronotura. These 

 markings are almost as in A. variegata, Hope, but that species has 

 a marginal line at the base of the pronotum. 



20(3. Anomala diversipennis, sp. nov. (Plate III, figs. 25 & 26.) 



Testaceous, with a golden-green lustre upon the head, pro- 

 notum, scutellum, lower surface and legs, and the elytra, the 

 pygidium, the whole of the last two abdominal segments, except 

 a pale lateral spot on each side of the penultimate one, the 

 posterior half of the fourth, a lateral spot on each side of the four 

 antei-ior segments, a small spot on the outer face of each of the 

 posterior femora, and the tarsi, brick-red or black. 



It is elongate-oval in shape, not very convex and scarcely 

 shining, the upper surface being finely and closely punctured. 

 The liead, pronotum and scutellum are closely 

 and evenly punctured, the clypeus more 

 densely. The eyes are small and rather far 

 apart, the clypeus short and broad, with the 

 margin strongly retlexed, nearly straight in 

 front and rounded at the sides. The sides 

 of the pronotum are gently curved, straight 

 in front, with the front angles acute, the hind 

 angles obtuse and the base not completely 

 margined. The elytra have each six very 

 deeply impressed dorsal strise, the second dis- 

 rupted at the base, and the intervals are convex 

 Fig. 50. — Anomala and finely punctured, the fifth dilated and 

 diver sipemtis, <S . divided at the base ; the apical margins are sepa- 

 rately rounded and rather broadly fringed. 

 The pygidium is transversely rugose. The sides of the metasternum 

 are rugosely punctured and very scantily clotlied with short pale 

 hairs. Tlie front tibia is armed wilh a long terminal tooth and 

 a slight upper one, the hind tibia is long, and the longer claw of 

 the front and middle feet is cleft. 



tS . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is straight and acute 

 and the inner front claw short and broad. Probably the elytra 

 are generally black. 



2 . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is curved and very 

 blunt, and the inner front claw long and slender. The pygidium 

 is more strongly rugose than in the male and has t\^'o pale con- 

 verging bars. Probably the elytra are generally I'ed. 

 Length, 22-5-24 mm.; breadth, 6-5-7'5 mm. 

 BuEMA : Karen Hills, 2700-3800 ft. (L. Fea). 

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

 I have seen two males with black elytra, one (small) male with 

 red elytra and one female with red elytra.
