150 BUTELINJE. 



128. Anomala clerica, sp. nov. 



Testaceous yellow, with the upper surface black, except the 

 sides of the pronotum and sometimes a narrow basal margin and 

 a short longitudinal stripe near the middle of each elytron, 

 extending from the base to rather more than a quarter of its 

 length, the two stripes slightly converging at their posterior ends. 

 The clypeus, the hind tibia, the posterior part of the middle tibia 

 and the tarsi are deep red. 



It is moderately elongate and parallel-sided and rather depressed 

 in form, with its broadest part a little before the end of the 

 elytra. The clypeus and forehead are finely and rather feebly 

 rugose, the former small and transversely rounded, the latter tri- 

 angularly impressed in the middle, and the vertex closely and 

 strongly punctured. -The pronotum is also strongly and closely 

 punctured, with the sides strongly rounded, the front angles 

 acute, the hind angles slightly obtuse and the base completely 

 margined. The scutellum is finely punctured and its apex 

 impressed. The elytra ai % e closely and coarsely but rather un- 

 evenly punctate-striate, with the second stria broadly disrupted 

 at the base. The pygidium is rather strongly and evenly, not 

 closely, punctured. The lower surface is well and evenly punc- 

 tured, the metasternum thinly clothed with yellow hair. The 

 legs are rather slender, the front tibia is ai-med with two short 

 teeth, the hind tibia is slender, but inflated before the middle, and 

 the longer claw is cleft at the tip upon the front and middle 

 feet. 



c? . The club of the antenna is rather long, and the front tibial 

 teeth are very short and placed near together.

129. Anomala rugosa. 



Anomala ntgosa, Arrow, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1899, p. 2(53. 



Testaceous yellow, with the head, the hind tibiae (and the 

 extremities of the others) and all the tarsi dark red, and a large 

 triangular patch on each side of the pronotum, the extreme edges 

 of the elytra and an oblique stripe extending from each shoulder 

 to the apical callus (in the female), or the whole surface of the 

 elytra except a narrow external pale border (in the male), black. 



The body is oval, compact and convex, closely sculptured above 

 and not very shining. The head is densely rugosely punctured, 

 with the clypeus rounded at the sides and straight in front. The 

 pronotum is finely and closely but not densely punctured, strongly 

 rounded at the sides, with the front angles blunt and the hind 

 angles rounded off ; the base is finely margined and feebly tri- 

 sinuated. The scutellum is short and closely punctured, and
