 Kandy (G. F. S. Baker, April).

146. Anomala mollis, sp. nov. 



Very pale yellow, with the forehead and vertex, the pronotum 

 (except the lateral margins), the elytral suture, a vague spot upon 

 the humeral callus, and the tibiae and tarsi darker. 



It is a very small species, moderately elongate, rather depressed, 

 and not very shining above. The legs are long and slender. The 

 head is finely and rather closely punctured, the clypeus very small, 

 broadly rounded and nearly straight in front. The pronotum is 

 irregularly and rather strongly punctured, with the sides strongly 

 rounded, the front angles not sharp, the hind angles very blunt 

 and the base finely margined. The scutellum bears a few punc- 

 tures, and the elytra are deeply but unevenly punctate-striate. 

 The pygidium is sthongly punctured. The front tibia bears three 

 teeth, the uppermost very minute, the hind tibia is slender, and 

 the longer claw of the front foot only is cleft. 



d 1 . The eyes are very large and prominent, the club of the 

 antenna is long, and the legs are very slender. 



Length, 8-10 mm.; breadth, 4-4*5 mm.

147. Anomala conformis. 



Anomala conformis, Walker,* Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist (3) iii, 1859, 

 p. 56. 



Orange-testaceous, with the forehead and a narrow sutural line 

 upon the elytra dark, and the extremities of the tibia? and the 

 tarsi reddish. 



Oval and convex in shape, smooth and rather shining, with a 

 very scanty clothing of hairs beneath. The head is small, strongly 

 punctured on the vertex, and rugosely upon the clypeus and the 

 middle of the forehead. The eyes are rather large and prominent, 

 and the clypeus short, with its margin curvilinear and well raised. 

 The pronotum is finely but rather closely punctured, with the 

 lateral margins rounded, the front angles not very sharp and the 

 hind angles very blunt. The elytra are deeply and strongly 

 punctate-striate, with the subsutural interval broad and strongly 

 and irregularly punctured in front, the punctures reduced upon 

 the posterior half to a single impressed line. The pygidium is 

 rather strongly and closely punctured, the metasternum densely and 

 the abdomen moderately closely. The front tibia is tri-dentate, 

 the terminal tooth long and slender, the second strong and sharp, 

 and the third very feeble. The longer claw of the front foot only 

 is cleft. The hind tibia? are rather inflated before the middle and 

 constricted before the extremity.
