264. Anomala chrysochroma, sp. nov. 



Orange-yellow above, with a golden-green suffusion, and deep 

 metallic green upon the pygidium, lower surface and legs. There 

 is a small deep blue-green stripe just within the margin of the 

 pronoturn on each side, touching the front but not the hind 

 margin, the foot-stalk of the antenna is orange-coloured and the 

 club nearly black. 



It is elongate oval in shape, convex, and very smooth and 

 shining above. The head, pronoturn and scutellum are very 

 scantily and minutely punctured, the eyes widely separated, the 

 clypeus broad, with its margin straight in front and not very 

 strongly reflexed. The pronoturn is a little more strongly punc- 

 tured near the front angles, which are acute, the hind angles are 

 nearly right angles and the base is not margined. The elytra 

 are not distinctly flattened at the outer margins, the membranous 

 margin is distinct from a little behind the shoulder to the apex, 

 and the puncturation is almost obsolete. The pygidium is finely 

 and scantily punctured and bears a iew long hairs near its aj)ex. 

 The body is arched beneath. The sides of the nietasternum and 

 abdomen are thinly clothed with moderately long greyish hair, 

 and the mesosternal process is rather long and slender and 

 scarcely curved. The legs are slender, the front tibia armed with 

 a feeble external tooth, tlie longer front and middle claws cleft- 

 The antennfe are very long and slender. 



I know only a single female specimen. 



Length, 15 mm. ; breadth, 8 mm.

265. Anomala xanthochroma, sp. nov. 



Orange-yellow, with the head, pi^onotum and scutellum fiery 

 red, the clypeus golden-green, the lateral margins (with the 

 exception of the hind angles) of the pronoturn deep bluish-green,- 

 and the lower surface, pygidium and legs dark coppery-green. 



Kather narrowly elongate in shape, and not Aery convex, with 

 long slender legs ; the head, pronoturn and scutellum very bril- 

 liant. The clypeus is feebly rugose and shining, with its margin 

 strongly reflexed and slightly excised in the middle. The fore- 

 head and vertex are finely and sparsely ])unctured, and there is a 

 fringe of long hairs at the inner edge of each eye. The pro- 

 noturn and scutellum are scantily and extremely finely punctured,^^ 

 the former gently rounded at the sides, with the front angles 

 acute and the hind angles obtuse but well-marked. The elytra 

 have two slightly elevated smooth dorsal costse, bordered by lines 

 of punctures, and the alternating intervals, of which the sub- 

 sutural one is very broad, are moderately closely punctured. 

 The pygidium is tumid, smootli and shining, and entirely clothed 

 with long, erect, but not dense, pale hair, and the body is similarly 

 clothed beneath. The mesosternal process is straight, moderately
