rather strongly but unequally punctured and thinly clothed with 

 long erect grey hairs. There is no mesosternal process. 



I have seen only male examples, in which the anteniial club is 

 very long, the front tibia is strongly bidentate, and the inner front 

 claw dilated, very acute and minutely cleft at the outer edge.

160. Anomala aegrota, sp. nov. (Plate IV, fig. 4.) 



Pale testaceous yellow, with the head, pronotum, scutellum, 

 tibiae and tarsi a little darker, the head with a very faint crimson 

 metallic suffusion. 



It is ovate and moderately convex, with fine yellowish hair 

 upon the metasternum and the end of the pygidium. The head 

 is rugosely punctured, with the eyes very large and prominent. 

 The clypeus is very small, the width scarcely greater than the 

 diameter of the eye (seen from the side), rectangular, with the 

 sides parallel and the front margin feebly curved and very strongly 

 reflexed. The pronotum is finely and fairly closely punctured, 

 with the sides strongly rounded, all the angles very blunt and the 

 base finely margined. The scutellum is finely punctured, and 

 the elytra are moderately finely punctured in rows, with a minute 

 puncturing upon the intervals. The subsutural interval is irre- 

 gularly punctured. The pygidium is finely and sparsely punctured 

 and hairy at the apex, and more coarsely and rugosely punctured 

 upon the remaining surface. The front tibia is armed with two 

 strong sharp teeth, and the longer claw is cleft upon the front 

 and middle feet. 



c? . The club of the antenna is rather longer than the foot- 

 stalk and its joints are widest in the middle and rather abruptly 

 narrowed a little before the end.

161. Anomala praenitens, sp. nov. 



Chestnut-red, with the lower surface, femora and antennal 

 club a little lighter and the vertex of the head darker, the head 

 and pronotum suffused with a slight metallic green lustre. The 

 metasternum is clothed thickly, the abdomen thinly, and the 

 pygidium still more thinly, with tawny hair. 



The body is elongate-ovate in shape, stout and convex. The 

 eyes are large and prominent, and their diameter, as seen from 

 the side, about equal to the breadth of the clypeus or forehead. 

 The latter is deeply and densely punctured, and the small clypeus
