Mr. Kirby has very properly separated this genus 

 from Anomala, from which it differs in many 

 respects. It is allied to Euchlora of Mr. MacLeay. 

 All the species of llhombonyx are glabrous and 

 rarely if ever have the elytra Avith elevated lines. 

 This form seems peculiar to Siberia, Japan, and 

 China.
