ANOMALA. 173 



163. Anomala macrophylla. 



Melolontha macrophylla, Wiedemann, Zool. Mag. ii, 1, 1823, p. 91. 

 Anomala rugipennis, Blanch.,* Cat. Coll. Ent. Mus. Paris, 1^51 

 (1850) p. 182. 



Bright testaceous yellow, with the head, pronoturn, scutellum, 

 tibiae and tarsi orange, the sides of the pronotum paler. 



The body is stoutly built, convex, ovate and rather thinly 

 clothed beneath with bristly yellow hairs. The head is densely 

 punctured, and the clypeus small, transversely rectangular in 

 shape, but with the front angles strongly rounded and the margin 

 strongly reflexed. The pronotum is very convex and finely and 

 closely punctured, with the sides strongly curved, all the angles 

 obtuse and the base finely margined. The scutellum and elytra 

 are finely and rather closely and rugosely punctured, and the 

 latter are deeply longitudinally sulcate, with scarcely perceptible 

 punctures in the sulci, the intervals convex, except the sub- 

 suturai one, which is broad and has a row of large irregular 

 pits along the middle. The pygidium and the sides of the 

 metasternum and abdomen are finely rugulose. The front tibiae 

 are bidentate, and the longer claw of the front and middle tarsi 

 is very minutely cleft. The outer front claw is scarcely shorter 

 than the inner one and has a slight internal dilatation which 

 does not reach the tip, giving it the shape of a parrot's bill. 



cJ . The club of the antenna is extremely long, and the eyes 

 are very large and prominent, the intervening space being little 

 wider than the diameter of one of the eyes. The teeth of the 

 front tibia are short and sharp, and the cleavage of the inner 

 claw is so minute that the outer division is frequently lost. 



$ . The eyes have little more than half the diameter of those 

 of the male. 



Females appear to be rare, as I have seen only one (in the 

 Indian Museum Collection). 



Length, 13-15 mm. ; breadth, 7-8 mm.

] 64. Anomala euops, sp. nov. (Plate IV, fig. 3.) 



Pale yellow, with the forehead, the pronotum (except at the 

 sides), scutellum, elytral suture, pygidium, tibiae and tarsi reddish, 

 occasionally with a slight metallic lustre. The sternum is rather 

 thickly clothed, the abdomen thinly and the pygidium still more 

 thinly, with erect yellow hair. 



The body is short, compact and convex, and the legs are 

 slender. The eyes are very large and prominent and about 

 equal in diameter, as seen from above, to the interval between 

 them. The clypeus is very small, not much wider than it is
