236 ANOMALA I'USCULA. 



their size. Antennae testaceous , with elongate club. Head 

 short , with convex eyes , the surface rather coarsely punc- 

 tate, but the punctures not confluent. Thorax rather coar- 

 sely, moderately closely punctured. Scutellum sparingly 

 punctate. Elytra yellow, with the suture narrowly and 

 indistinctly paler; they have very distinct regular lines of 

 punctures, the interstices being, with the exception of the 

 outer ones, destitute of punctures. The pygidium is coar- 

 sely, rather closely punctured. The breast is almost with- 

 out setae; the ventral segments rather coarsely punctate. 

 The legs including the tarsi are rather stout ; the front tibiae 

 are tridentate but the upper tooth is indistinct. The hind 

 tibiae have two carinae on their outer face. 



Three specimens have been brought home, one captured 

 in March 1877 at Fort de Kock , a second in July of the 

 same year at Sidjoendjoeng , the third at Padang. 



20. Anomala fuscula, n. sp. 



Fusco-aenea , nitida , pectore piloso , antennis rufis ; pro- 

 thorace crebrius punctato ; elytris dense punctatis , punctis 

 subregularibus , haud striatis ; pygidio opaco , ruguloso , parce 

 piloso. Ex affinitate A. sulcatulae Burm., sed corpore supra 

 minus dense et profunde punctato. — Long. 13 — 15 m.m. 



Rather narrow; head and thorax brassy, coarsely and 

 closely punctured , the punctures more distant on the middle 

 of the thorax; scutellum rather finely and sparingly punc- 

 tured. Elytra densely punctured, the punctuation having 

 a somewhat regular appearance, and yet not consisting of 

 regular series , or striae , of punctures , about the base and 

 along the suture , the punctuation is less coarse and dense , 

 but towards the sides it becomes somewhat rugulose; the 

 colour is rufescent or fuscescent, with a strong brassy re- 

 flection. The pygidium is densely rugose, and bears fine, 

 short, pale hairs, becoming longer towards the hind mar- 

 gin. Beneath the breast bears a dense pale pubescence, 

 which however leaves the middle bare ; the lateral accumu-
