On new Species (>/x\nomala. 473 



Measurements in mm. — Total length 59; length of cara- 

 pace 7'75, of" fiftli segment of tail 8, of hand-back 6, of 

 movable finger 7'5; width of hand 6"75. 



(7o/o»r blackish ; the hand, however (with the exception 

 of the fingers and keels), is reddish brown. 



Material. — A single adult specimen, of the male sex, 

 collected at the Chaksani Ferry, Tsaiigpo Valley, Tibet, by 

 Lieut.-Colonel L. A. Waddell, C.B. 



Remarks. — In addition to the differences which are given 

 above, T may point out that this species is much larger than 

 S. austerus, sp. n. It can be distinguished from S. crassi' 

 manus, Poc, by the structure of the tinger-keel, which is 

 almost smooth, by the presence of k^^els on the last steriiite, 

 and by the greater strength of the keels of the tail. 



LIX. — Some new Species of the Coleopterous Genus Anomala 

 from Southern India. By GILBERT J. AuROW. 



(Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) 



About seventy S[)ecie3 of the enormous genus Anomalu have 

 already been described from British India, and over sixty of 

 these are known to me, as well as a very large number which 

 are still undescribed. I hope in a future volume of the 

 'Fauna of British India' series to attempt an orderly 

 revision of this mass of closely related insects, whose nomen- 

 clature is at present in very great confusion. As this work 

 cannot be completed for a considerable time, I propose to 

 publish preliminary descriptions of some of the new forms, 

 as tliese are constantly sent to me for determination and it 

 is unddsirable to circulate unpublished names. 



I have received two important collections from Southern 

 India, one of them made by Mr. H. Leslie Andrewes in the 

 Nilgiri Hills, the other by M. du Breuil in Madura, the latter 

 collection being the property of Baron Paul de JMofl'arts. 

 The fauna of Southern India is the most purely Indian to be 

 found within the limits of the Empire; tlie species are nearly 

 all peculiar to that area, and in many cases form groups of 

 closely related forms without any known representatives 

 outside the area. For this reason it has not been possible to 

 compare many of tlie new species figuring here with any 

 others previously known. 



The types of all the following species are in the British
