Lamellicorn Coleoptera of Japan. 109 
Yv Anomala rufocuprea, Motsch. 
A. rufocuprea, Motsch. Etud. Ent. 1860, p. 14. 
Rh. lucidulus, Motsch. Bull. Mosc. 1866, i. p. 171. 
This species is very common, and is one of the most 
variable in appearance with which I am acquainted. It 
is closely allied to A. Frischii. It varies in colour from 
testaceous through cupreous-seneous, blue to nearly black. 
Hab.—Japan; Tartary. ‘“ Abundant on sallows.” 
Rhombonyzx lucidulus, Motsch. In the British Museum 
collection there is a specimen from Hokodadi which agrees 
perfectly with the description of this species. I consider 
it to be merely a variety of A. rufocuprea with testaceous 
elytra. 
Dahan oblonga, Fabr. Motschulsky records this 
species from Japan. Has he not mistaken one of the 
varieties of A. rufocuprea for it? This latter has, how- 
ever, the thorax constantly delicately punctured. 
Anomala geniculata, Motsch. 
Rhinoplia geniculata, Motsch. Bull. Mose. 1866, i. p. 171. 
** Statura et color Anom. Frischit, sed latior. Ovata, 
conyexa, nitida, punctulata, supra pallide testacea; capite, 
thorace scutelloque plus minusve eneis, corpore subtus 
nigro-cupreo, pedibus nigro-zneis, geniculis testaceis ; 
elytris dense punctato-striatis, interstitiis alternis paulo 
latioribus.” 
Long. 6 lin.; lat. 34 lin. 
Hab.—Japan. 
If I have correctly determined this species, it is a 
broader and less convex species than A. rufocuprea, and 
has the thorax less densely punctured. I have seen 
specimens in which the elytra are eneous ; but the margins 
are generally testaceous. 
Length 6 to 8 lines. 
Anomala costata, Hope. 
A. costata, Hope, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1839, p. 73. 
Hab.—Japan. 
It is closely allied to A. aurata, Fabr., but has the 
channel on the thorax much stronger, and the coste on 
the elytra more distinct, &c.
