14 Rev. F. W. Hope on the 
Sp. 2. Anomala controversa, Hope. 
Castanea, capite piceo, margine anteriori parum elevato, antenne 
testacez. 
Long. lin. 63, lat. lin. 3. 
Thorax flavo-castaneus, punctatus, maculis magnis_binis 
nigris insignitis, alteraque minori utrinque in marginibus 
locata. Elytra striato-punctata, quibusdam lineis elevatis 
flavis conspicua, discus flavo piceoque colore variegatus. 
Podex flavescens. Corpus infra concolor, femoribus luteis, 
posticis binis incrassatis, tibiis tarsisque rufescentibus. 
The above insect has been regarded as similar to the Anomala 
Hopfneri, which pertains to the new world, and is, I believe, not 
uncommon in Mexico. The present insect is an East Indian 
species, and, although according in colour and marking, is evi- 
dently distinct; its form at once is sufficient to distinguish it. 
Sp. 3. Galba Chrysocoma, Hope. (Plate I. fig. 3.) 
Flava, capite nigro, antennis pectinatis atris. 
Long. lin. 8, lat. lin. 23. 
Thorax antice rotundatus, angulis posticis acutis, disco 4-tuber- 
culato, tuberculis auratis capillis tectis. Elytra aureo-to- 
mentosa, fusca, apicibus acuminatis. Corpus infra nigrum, 
aureo-tomentosum, pedibusque concoloribus. 
[Plate I. fig. 3, the insect magnified ; 3, the front of the head and mandibles ; 
3b, mandible; 3c, maxilla; 3d, mentum, &c.; 3e, antenna; 3/, prosternum ; 
3 g, tarsus. |] 
Sp. 4. Harpalus Sinicus. 
Niger, capite antice rubro-piceo, postice atro nitido, antennis 
rufo-fuscis pilosis. 
Long. lin. 7, lat. lin. 2. 
Thorax lateribus rufo-marginatis, posticeque parum punctu- 
latus. Elytra striata. Corpus infra concolor, pedibus flaves- 
centibus. 
Sp. 5. Amara orientalis. 
Nigra, antennis rufis, thorace rufo-marginato, elytris striato- 
punctatis, pedibusque rufo-testaceis. 
Long. lin. 3, lat. lin. 1. 
The present insect appears to be mediate between true Harpalus 
and Amara.
