is nearly semicircular, finely and rather rugosely punctured, with 

 the margins strongly reflexed. The pronotum is strongly and 

 closely punctured, with the sides slightly curved in front, nearly 

 straight from before the middle, and all the angles very obtuse, 

 the base being completely margined. The scutellum is finely 

 puuctured. The elytra are punctate-striate, with the entire 

 surface finely but not closely puuctulated; the subsutural in- 

 terval is broad, and irregularly and rugosely punctured, and the 

 third, fifth and seventh intervals are narrow and slightly elevated. 

 The pygidium is feebly striolated. 



c? . The club of the antenna is as long as the footstalk and 

 twice as long as the clypeus. The legs are slender, the front 

 tibia armed with two sharp teeth, the hind femur rather thick ; 

 all the claws are slender, sharp and undivided, the inner front 

 claw having an angular flange at its lower edge.

162. Anomala stenodera, sp. uov. 



Very dark red-brown, a little paler upon the elytra, and with 

 the pronotum very feebly suffused with a greenish metallic 

 lustre. The antennae are yellowish. 



Elongate-oval in shape and narrow in front, with the meta- 

 sternum and the sides of the abdomen clothed with rather long 

 tawny hair. The eyes are very large and prominent, separated 

 by a distance less than twice their diameter, and the clypeus 

 is very narrow, hollowed and rather scantily punctured. The 

 forehead and vertex are evenly punctured and a little more 

 strongly than the clypeus. The pronotum is rather narrow 

 and strongly and closely punctured, especially at the sides, which 

 are obtusely angulated before the middle, and the front and 

 hind angles are also obtuse, the base being completely margined. 

 The scutellum is strongly punctured, and the elytra are deeply 

 punctate-striate, the second stria becoming disrupted in its 

 anterior half and the fifth interval broad with a few irregular 

 punctures behind ; the marginal membrane is rather broad and 

 conspicuous at the extremity. The pygidium is strongly and 

 closely punctured. The front tibia is armed with two very 

 sharp teeth, the hind tibia is short and stout, and the longer 

 claw of the front and middle feet is minutely cleft at the tip. 



(S . The antennal club is very long, the eyes are very large, and 

 the inner front claw is abruptly lobed near the base. 



Length, 14-15 mm. ; breadth, 8 mm.
