d . The club of the antenna is nearly twice as long as that of 

 the female. 



2 ' The terminal tooth ot the front tibia is very long.

I have seen seven males, but only a single female. The latter 

 (a specimen in the Hope Department of the Oxford Museum, 

 taken by Capt. Boys, but \\itliout recorded locality) differs from 

 all the males in the tibiae being entirely pale, but that is probably 

 only an individual peculiarity. 



The species is a remarkably small one, closely related to 

 M. bicolor, Hope, but less compact and convex and much more 

 strongly punctured upon the elytra and pygidium. The colour- 

 ing of the legs and upper surface is different, the eyes are rather 

 larger, the front angles of the thorax more produced, and the club 

 of the antenna of the male is longer. 



163 a. Anomala vestigator, sp. nov. 



Pale testaceous-yellow, with the head, the pronotum (except 

 broad lateral margins), the hind tibiae, the extremities of the 

 front tibiae and all the tarsi red, and with an exceedingly feeble 

 metallic lustre upon the posterior parr of the head and the 

 pronotum. 



It is oval and convex in form, not very shining, and incon- 

 spicuously clothed with short, erect, pale hair beneath. The head 

 is strongly and closely punctured, with the eyes very large and 

 prominent and the clypeus very narrow but not short, the sides 

 parallel and the front margin rounded and strongly reflexed. 

 The pronotum is very convex, rather closely punctured, strongly 

 rounded at the sides, with all the angles very blunt and the base 

 completely margined. The scutellum is well punctured, and the 

 elytra bear five fairly well-marked dorsal strise, with the intervals 

 convex and rather closely punctured, the svibsutural one broad ; 

 the membranous margins are well developed. The pygidium is 

 finely, but rather rugosely, punctured and bears a few scattered 

 hairs. The front tibia is armed with two very strong and sharp 

 teeth, and the hind tibia is short and stout and very broad at the 

 extremity. 



cJ . The longer claws of the front and middle feet are very 

 minutelv cleft at a distance from the tip, the longer front claw 

 is dilated and bent, and the shorter one is rather broad but very 

 acute at the tip. The club of the antenna is very long.
