136. Anomala variivestis, sp. nov. (Plate III, figs. 20, 21.) 



Testaceous yellow, with the cl ypeus, forehead and tarsi red, and 

 a large patch on each side of the middle line of the pronotum (the 

 two patches sometimes partly fused together), the extreme mar- 

 gins of the elytra (the sutural dark line dilating into a triangular 

 patch round the sciitellum),and sometimes the whole of the elytra, 

 black or nearly black. 



Oval in shape, convex and very smooth and shining. The 

 clypeus and forehead are densely and rugosely punctured, the 

 former short and broadly rounded, and the vertex strongly 

 punctured. The pronotum is rather closely and evenly punc- 

 tured, with the sides strongly rounded, the front angles slightly 

 acute, the hind angles rounded and the base finely margined. 

 The scutellum is finely punctured, and the elytra are deeply and 

 closely punctate-striate, the second stria broken up in its anterior 

 half into numerous large punctures. The pygidium is closely and 

 rugosely punctured. The sides of the metasternum are closely 

 punctured and thinly clothed with short erect hairs. The front 

 tibia is armed with two strong teeth, the hind tibia is constricted 

 before the extremity, and the longer claw of the front and middle 

 feet is cleft. 



d . The teeth of the front tibia are very sharp. 



. The terminal tooth of the front tibia is blunt and club- 

 shaped. 



Length, 13'5-14'5 mm.; breadth, 7-8 mm. 



ASSAM : Manipur ( W. Doherty) ; BUKMA : Maymyo (H. L. 

 Andrewes). 



Type in the British Museum ; co-types in Mr. H. E. Andrewes' 

 collection. 



The specimens of the typical pale form are all from Assam and 

 those of the dark phase with entirely black elytra are from 

 Maymyo. 



137. Anomala bilobata. (Plate IT, fig. 18.) 



Anomala bilobata. Arrow. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) x, 1912. 

 p. 329. 



Testaceous, with the clypeus, hind tibia3 and all the tarsi reddish. 



The form is elongate and cylindrical. The head is small and 

 deeply punctured, and the clypeus transverse, with the margin 

 strongly reflexed and bilobed in front. The pronotum is very 

 finely punctured, rounded at the sides, with the front angles 

 nearly right angles, the hind angles very obtuse and the base 

 finely margined and very gently rounded. The scutellum is finely 

 punctured, and the elytra bear irregular rows of fine punctures, 

 the 2nd interval being wide and irregularly punctured. The 

 pygidium is rather rugosely but not deeply punctured. The meta- 

 sternum is finely and densely punctured and clothed with fine 

 yellowish pubescence. The front tibia is tri dentate and the inner 

 claw of the front tarsus is cleft.
