227. Anomala laniventris. (Plate li, fig. 3.) 



Anomala laniventris, Arrow, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) x, 1912,. 

 p. 339. 

 Dark copperv-olivaceous, with the lateral edges of the pro- 

 iiotum, the lower surface of the body, and the femora yellow, the 

 abdomen browner, and tlie tibiae and tarsi deep metallic green. 



Elongate-oval, not very shining, with the sternum, the pygidiuni 

 and sides of the abdomen rather thickly clotlied with short grey 

 pubescence. The entire upper surface is closely and finely punc- 

 tured, except the clypeus, which is rugose and broadly rounded. 

 The base of the prouotum is rather prominent in the middle and 

 not margined, and the sides are obtusely prominent in the middle, 

 with the front angles nearly right angles and the hind angles 

 obtusely rounded. There are a few indistinct longitudinal rows 

 of fine' punctures on the elytra, the outer margins of which are 

 bordered with very broad membranous fringes. There is no 

 mesosternal process. The front tibia is sharply bidentate, the hind 

 tibia stout, and the larger claw of the front and middle feet is cleft. 

 The 3rd and 5tli joints of the antenna are longer than tlie 4th. 



cJ . The terminal tool h of the front tibia is slender and the upper 

 one short but sharp. Tlie inner lobe of the inner front claw is very 

 broad and abruptly angulated at the middle of the lower edge. 



2 . The teeth of the front tibia are rather long and sharp. 



Length, 17-li) mm. ; breadth, 9-5-10-5 mm.

 yept.), Rangoon {E. T. Atkinson). 



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



This species is related to the Himalayan A. perphxa, Hope, but 

 is much duller in colour and easily recognizable by the very broad 

 external membranes of the elytra. 



228, Anomala densa, sp. nov. (Plate III, fig. 1.) 



Coppery and moderately shining, with the clypeus and legs 



fiery red. . , , , , r 



It is oval and rather convex, with the whole upper surface 

 very finely and densely punctured, and the pygidium and the 

 sides of tiie body beneath rather thickly clothed with fine grey 

 hair. The clypeus is broadly rounded and densely granular. 

 The prouotum is much narrowed in front, with the sides 

 strongly rounded, all the angles blunt, tlie base not completely 

 raaro'uied, the punctures very fine, deep and uniform, but with a 

 very° narrow unpunctured median line. The outer edge of the 

 scutellum is also unpunctured. The elytra are rather less strongly 

 and uniformly punctured and have indications of indefinite longi- 

 tudinal lines of rather larger punctures, the membranous margins 

 being narrow. The pygidium is densely granular. The front 

 tibia is strongly bidentate, the hind tibia rather stout, and the 

 longer claw is cleft on the front and middle feet. 



S . The apical tooth of the front tibia is sharp, the inner front
