surface is finely and densely punctured. The head is very deeply 

 and rugosely punctured and quite opaque, except upon tlie vertex, 

 and the clypeus is short and almost regularly semicircular. The 

 pronotum is very closely and evenly punctured, with tlie sides 

 strongly rounded, the front angles acute, the hind angles obtuse 

 and the base not margined. The scutellum bears numerous fine 

 punctures on each side. The elytra are everywhere finely and 

 closely punctured, with rather larger punctures intermixed : there 

 are only slight traces of longitudinal lines, but tlie membranous 

 margins are moderately wide and conspicuous. The pygidium is 

 finely and closely transversely strigose and bears a few long hairs 

 towards the extremity. The abdomen beneath and the mitldle of 

 the metasternum are finely punctured, and the sides of the latter 

 are densely rugulose. The legs are fairly stout, the front tibiae 

 strongly bidentate, the hind tibiae a little contracted before the 

 extremity, and the longer claw cleft on the front and middle 

 feet. 



(S . The pygidium is rather less closely and finely rugulose tli.an 

 in the female, the terminal tooth of the front tibia is short, and 

 the inner fro)it claw broadly dilated. 



5 . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is long and clubbed.

Tj/pe in the British Museum. 



Although all from different sources, I believe a female in the 

 British Museum and one in Mr. Andrewes' collection (taken 

 by Capt. A. K. AYeld-Downing) to be conspecific with the nuile 

 from the S. Shan States. 



This species has the closest relationship to Ji. russiveniris, 

 Fairm. (Tonkin), but is less brilliant green above and less red 

 beneath, and the legs are rather stouter. It also closely re- 

 sembles A. lasiocaula, Ohaus, but is more densely punctured and 

 has a rather broader pronotum. It is smaller and narrower than 

 A. pictij)cs, and the clypeus is evenly rounded, instead of having 

 a flattened front maro-jn. 



225. Anomala pictipes, sp. nov. (Plate III, fig. 4.) 



Chocolate-brown, with a greenish coppery lustre, and with 

 narrow lateral margins to the pronotum (sometimes only trace- 

 able in front), an irregular line on each side of the pygidium, the 

 outer parts of the femora, and parts of the lower surface yellow. 



Oval, convex and moderately shining, but the upper surface 

 covered with very fine and dense punctures, a little less dense on 

 the elytra, upon which there are shallow, indefinite stria?. The 

 clypeus is rather small, subrectangidar, with the punctures 

 confluent. The sides of the pronotum are strongly rounded, 

 the front angles wery sharp, the hind angles very blunt, ajul the 

 base broadlv rounded and not margined in the middle; the
