Ruteline Coleoptera of Ceylon. 3G3 



tibia lias three teeth and the larger claw of the front and 

 middle feet is cleft. 



The tibial teeth of the male are short but not sharp. The 

 terminal tooth in the female is stout and strongly bent 

 outwards. 



This is not easily distinguishable from A. elata, ¥,, except 

 by means of the genitalia of the males, but the clypeus is of 

 slightly different shape^ its sides being gently convergent, 

 and the elytra are long and parallel-sided, with relatively 

 broad membranous margins, especially at the posterior lateral 

 part. The cedeagus of the male is constricted just before the 

 end and the paramera are divergent and globularly swollen 

 at the apices. 



Anomala illusa, sp. n. 



Ad A. elatam et superjluam maxime affinis, sed paulo robustior, 

 pedibus brevioribus et crassioribus, capito minus dense punctato, 

 clypeo minori, distincte haud crebre punctato, tibiis anticis latis, 

 dente tertio obsolescenti, pedum 4 posteriorum tibiis brevibus, 

 medio intlatis, tarsorum articulis 4 basalibus transversis, latis. 



Long. 22 mm. ; lat. max. 12 mm. 



Hab. Trincomali (E. E. Green, Sept. 1910). 



This has the closest possible similarity to A. elata, F., and 

 A. superflua, Arr., but it is rather broader and more convex 

 and a little more shining, the head is less densely punctured, 

 the clypeus narrower and less flat aiid opaque, and the legs 

 are stouter, all the tibise being shorter and broader and the 

 basal joints of the middle and hind tarsi more compact. 

 The third tibial tooth is almost obsolete. The cedeagus of 

 the male has the paramera simply rounded externally and the 

 ventral lobe bluntly pointed. 

 * I know only a single male of this species.
