Burmese species of Ruieline Coleoptera. 339 



cJ, The lower lobe of the inner front claw is acutely 

 pointed, broad, and angulated at the lower edge. 



Length 10 mm. ; breadth 5"5-G'5 mm. 



Ilab. BUUMA : Krvqu li'iWs (Doherty). 



This little insect is one of the puzzling species which 

 stand on the border-line between Atioinala and Mimela. It 

 is very much like Alimela dehilis, Sharp, to which it is un- 

 doubtedly allied. Tiie prosternum is prominent behind the 

 front coxa% but does not form an angular process between 

 them, and the species must, I think, be placed in Anomala if 

 any distinction is to be retained. 



Anomala (JEuchlora) laniventris, sp. n. 



Obscure cupreo-olivacea, pronoti lateribus, corpore subtus fcmori- 

 busquo testaceis, tibiis tarsisquo viridi-aeneis, abdomine subtus 

 bruiiucscenti : ovalis, supra parum nitida, pectore, abdominis 

 lateribus pygidioque sat dense griseo-pubescentibus, corpore 

 supra undique crebre sat minute punctato, elytrorum lineis 

 nonnullis inconspicuis longitudinalibu-s, marginibus extcrnis 

 latissime membranacois ; mesosteruo baud producto ; tibiis 

 anticis bidentatis, pedum 4 anteriorum unguo majori fisso. 



Dark coppery olivaceous, with the lateral edges of the 

 pronotuni, tlie lower surface of the body and the femora 

 yellow, the abdomen browner and the tibiae and tarsi deep 

 metallic green. 



Elongate oval, not very shining, with the sternum, the 

 pygidium and sides of the abdomen rather thickly clothed 

 witli soft grey pubescence. The entire upper surface is 

 closely and finely punctured, except the clypeus, which is 

 rugose and broa<ily rounded. The base of the pronotum is 

 rather prominent in the middle and not margined, and the 

 sides arc obtusely prominent in the middle, with the front 

 angles nearly right angles and the hind angles obtusely 

 rounded. There are a few indistinct longitudinal rows of 

 fine punctures on the elytra, the outer margins of which are 

 bordered with very broad membranous fringes. There is no 

 raesosternal process. The front tibia is sharply bidentate 

 and the larger claw of the front and middle feet is cleft. 

 The third and fifth joints of the antenna are longer than the 

 fourth. 



(^ . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is slender and 

 the upper one short but sharp. Tiie inner lobe of the inner 

 front claw is very broad and abruptly angulated at the middle 

 of the lower edge.
