Anomala ^msilla, Arrow, Ann, Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) ix, 1912, p. 82. 

 Pale yellow, with a golden or golden-green suffusion, the liead 



and a longitudinal patch on each side of the pronotum (angulated 



externally and not attaining the front or hind margin) dark 



green . 



It is ovate, much narrowed in front and behind, and not very con- 

 vex. The head is very deeply and rugosely 

 puTictured, the clypeus small and rounded, 

 and the frontal suture almost obliterated. 

 The pronotum is coarsely but sparsely punc- 

 tured at the sides and almost smooth in the 

 middle ; the sides are strongly angulated in 

 the middle and nearly straight from there 

 to the front and hind angles, which are 

 sharp, the base being broadly rounded in tlm 

 middle and not margined. The scutellum 

 is smooth and sharply pointed. The elytra 

 are coarsely and deeply striate-punctate. 

 The pygidium is coarsely rugose and bears 

 a few long hairs near the apex. The meta- 

 sternum is rugose and thinly pubescent, and 

 the abdomen is coarsely punctured. The 



mesosternum forms a broad compressed slightly prominent lamina. 



The front tibiae are strongly bidentate, and the larger claw of the 



front and middle feet is cleft. 



cJ. Smaller, its elytra less broad, the prothorax less contracted 



anteriorly ; the tibise and the tai'si are dark green, the apica 



tooth of the front tibia is acute, the upper tooth slight, and the 



inner front claw broad. 



5 . The shape is more oval, the elytra have the outer margins 



dilated and thickened from the shoulder to the middle, the tibiiB 



and tarsi are copper-coloured, and the apical tooth of the front 



tibia is rather blunt.
