finely and completely margined. The scutellum is finely but not 

 evenly punctured, a little impressed, bnt not distinctly angulated, 

 at the apex. The elytra bear seven strongly impressed and closely 

 punctured dorsal striae, the second one disrupted at the base, and 

 the intervals are narrow, smooth and convex. The pygidium is 

 finely, rather deeply and evenly punctured, and the metasternum 

 is thinly clothed with short, very pale yellow hairs. The legs are 

 rather long, the front tibia armed with two strong teeth, the hind 

 tibia inflated near the base and constricted before the apex, and 

 the inner front claw only is cleft. 



d . The antennae are long, and the inner front claw is rather 

 feebly dilated. 



$ . The teeth of the front tibia are very long and far apart. 



Length, 16-18 mm. ; breadth, 9-10 mm. 



CBY'LON ; MADRAS: Madura (T. R. D. Bell), Utakamand ((7. A.

Type in the British Museum. 



The general colour is very pale, and the abdomen of the dry

Anomala testacea, Blanch, (wee Hope), Cat. Coll. Ent. Mus. Paris 

 1851 (1850), p. 183. 



Testaceous, with the head, a narrow sutural line, the hind tibiae 

 and all the tarsi dark red. 



It is cylindrical in shape, rather short and broad, and moderately 

 convex. The clypeus is rather lightly punctured, smooth and 

 shining, and the forehead finely rugose. The pronotum is finely 

 and closely punctured, smooth and shining. The scutellum is 

 finely punctured, and the elytra are deeply and rather evenly 

 punctate-striate. The front tibia is armed with two strong teeth, 

 and the longer claw of the front foot only is cleft. 



Length, 14 mm. 



MADRAS : Pondicherry. 



Type in the Paris Museum. 



A single specimen only is known of this species, but the author 

 seems to have associated with it a second specimen which, M. Lesne 

 informs me, belongs to a different species. It is necessary to 

 change the name on account of its previous employment by Hope 

 for another Indian species. 



144. Anomala semiusta. (Plate II, fig. 30.) 



Anomala semiusta, Arrow, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) x, 1912, p. 333. 



Pale testaceous, with the head, pronotum (except the lateral 

 margins), the sides of the scutellum and the elytral suture 

 brown, and the clypeus, tibiae and tarsi reddish. The head and 

 pronotum have usually an exceedingly faint metallic lustre. The 

 dark central mass of the pronotum is often divided into two by a 

 pale median line.
