The above species is also subject to great variation; in some 
specimens the thorax is entirely black.

Sp. 1. Melolontha Chinensis. 
Affinis Mel. Nepalensi, Hope. Castanea, thorace colore satu- 
ratiori inquinato albisque capillis irrorata.

Elytra testacea, lateribus externe sulcatis et atro-marginatis.

The above insect, along with Melolontha Indica, Nepalensis, 
and others, form a peculiar section. At first sight the present 
species appears to belong to Ancylonicha of De Jean, and the 
species named by the baron is certainly much like it; the absence 
of a spear to the mesosternum plainly marks the species.
