ANOMALA BREVICEPS. 235 



but becomes much paler in front, it is coarsely and rugo- 

 sely punctured , but the punctures on the vertex are much 

 more distant than they are in front. The thorax is shi- 

 ning, and is moderately coarsely, rather sparingly punc- 

 tured , in the middle is a more or less distinct dark mark , 

 divided in the middle so as to form two or more nearly 

 united spots. The scutellum is finely and sparingly punc- 

 tured and is margined with black. The elytra are also 

 narrowly margined with black, and may have a humeral 

 and sub-apical black spot, they are very distinctly punc- 

 tured , the punctures consisting of a sutural series , and four 

 or five pairs of lines of punctures , the spaces between these 

 are also punctate, so that the serial punctuation is not very 

 distinct. The pygidium is rather coarsely and sparingly 

 punctured. The hind legs are rather short and stout, their 

 tibiae are infuscate at the extremity , and the tarsi also are 

 darker ; the tibiae are a good deal dilated in front of the 

 middle, and bear externally only a single transverse ca- 

 rina. The front tibiae bidentate without trace of a third 

 tooth. 



Two specimens: one from Silago (July 1877), the other 

 from the district of Rawas (May 1878). 



A specimen from Sarawak agrees with one from Suma- 

 tra (the Silago specimen), except that it is narrower, and 

 has the black spots on the elytra distinct; the second indi- 

 vidual from Sumatra (the Rawas specimen), has the elytra 

 less distinctly punctured, and the hind tibiae have the ru- 

 diments of a second carina on the outside.
