The locality Assam given in the original description is in all 

 probability wrong. The cursory note in which this species was 

 described by Burmeister is misleading and contains nothing of real 

 value to distinguish tlie species from the closely similar A. varicolor, 

 Gryll., the size, marking, sculpture, and even the toothing of the 

 front tibia, being exceedingly variable, although these last are 

 generally two-toothed in the present species and three-toothed 

 in the other. One of the most constant features is the complete 

 narrow median line of the pronotum, the dark thoracic patches 

 usually extending from the front to the hind margin without 

 uniting. The paramera of the ajdeagus of the male are longer 

 than in A. varicolor, and on one side slightly hooked. 



133. Anomala tincticeps, sp. nov. (Plate IV, figs. 5, 6.) 



Pale testaceous yellow, with the head, the sutural edges of the 

 elytra (very narrowly), the extremities of the femora and tibi, 

 and the tarsi red. 



It is oval and convex, and moderately smooth and shining, with 

 a thin clothing of pale hair at the sides of the sternum. The 

 head is closely and rugosely punctured, with the sides of the 

 clypeus and the vertex less rugose and more shining. The 

 clypeus is short, with the margin strongly rounded at the sides 

 and well reflexed. The eyes are moderately large and prominent. 

 The pronotum is evervwhere finely and evenly punctured, with 

 the sides rather strongly rounded, the front singles right angles, 

 the hind angles almost rounded off, and the base gently curved 

 and finely and completely margined. The scutellum bears 

 numerous fine punctures. The elytra bear seven strongly punc- 

 tured and nearly equidistant dorsal stria?, the second disrupted at 

 the base, and the intervals are very minutely punctulated ; the 

 marginal membranes are fairly broad at the hind margins. The 

 pygidium is moderately strongly and closely punctured. The legs 

 are stout, the front tibia strongly but bluntly bideutate, the hind 

 tibia rather inflated in the middle, and the longer claw of the 

 front and middle feet cleft. 



<S . The eyes are rather larger and more prominent than in the 

 female, the teeth of the front tibia are much shorter, and the 

 inner front claw is angularly dilated beneath. 



$ . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is very long. 



Length, 11-12 mm. ; breadth, 6-7 mm.
