rugulose-pmictate. Thorax sparsely piinctulate, more densely on the sides. 

 Elytra superficially striate-punctiilate, the interstices flat and smooth. 

 Pygidium sparsely arcuate-punctate. Anterior tibiae bidentate, the apical 

 tooth prolonged, the upper extremely short. The anterior and middle tarsi 

 with oi;ter claws fissile. Long. 20 millim., $ . 



Belongs to the group typified by the European A. frischii, 

 and similar to that species in form. 



Anomala pkasinicollis, n. sp. 

 Similar in form to A. frischii (F.), and belonging to the same subgroup. 

 Testaceous-yellow, with a faint greenish tinge on the elytra, and a brassy 

 lustre on the mider side of the body ; head, thorax, and scutellum apple- 

 green, scarcely metallic, the sides of the thorax yellow; tibi* and tarsi 

 brassy or golden green ; pygidium and propygidium dull brassy green ; 

 antennae yellow. The head and thorax are densely, here and there con- 

 fluentlj', punctulated ; veiwed from above, the thorax appears broadly trape- 

 zoidal, but the sides are somewhat dilated a little before the middle, before 

 which they converge stronglj' to the acute anterior angles, and behind they 

 are nearly parallel to the hind angles. The elytra are punctulate-striate in 

 pairs, the striae scarcely impressed, and the intervals rather closely covered 

 with large and small punctures intermixed. The breast is clothed with 

 tawny pile. The pygidium is very closely and roughly though minutely 

 rugulose-punctate or granulate, and clothed with erect tawny hairs. Long. 

 15— IGmiUim., c?, $. 



The species occurs also in Assam, and is probably found in 

 other parts of India, but I cannot find that it has been before 

 described. The anterior tibige are bidentate, and the outer claw 

 of the four anterior tarsi is bifid. 



EUCHLORA VIRIDIS, Fahi\ 



A widely distributed species in South-eastern Asia. The Kulu 

 insect does not differ from examples from South China, Siam, 

 Perak, and Assam. 



EuCHLORA MONOCHROA, n. Sp. 

 Of broader ovate form than E. viridis ; above dull dark leaf-green, 

 beneath and legs the same, but more metallic ; antennal club pitchy red. 

 The whole upper surface densely and rather strongly punctulate ; the punc- 

 tures on the thorax in many places confluent, on the elytra annulate or 

 arcuated and condensed into wavy wrinkles at the apex, the disk having two 

 or three straight rows of umbilicated punctures. The subapical callus of the 

 elytra is very prominent and more sparingly pimctured. Pygidium very 

 densely punctulate-rugnlose and subopaque. The thickened lateral margin 

 of the elytra extends in a very gradual ciu've past the outer apical angle and 

 then ceases. Long. 27 — 28 millim. 



Two examples. 



EuCHLORA DIMIDIATA, Hope. 



Found also in Nepaul. 



EucHLORA BARBATA, Burme'ister, Handb. d. Ent. iv. 2, p. 505. 

 Burmeister gives the " Himalaya " as the locality of this 

 well-marked species.
