long, its breadth about equal to the diameter of the eye as seen 

 from the side ; it is rounded, smooth and shining, rather finely 

 punctured, with the margin strongly re- 

 flexed all round. The forehead is rather 

 rugosely punctured. The pronotum is 

 short, broad and finely punctured, but a 

 little more coarsely and less closely at the 

 sides, which are strongly rounded, the 

 anterior angles obsolete, the hind angles 

 obtuse and the base finely margined. The 

 scutellum is finely punctured, and the 

 elytra are shining, but rather closely 

 punctured in rows, with the alternate 

 intervals wider and irregularly punctured, 

 g 43 The pygidium is finely trans verselyrugulose. 



Anomala mops, <$ . J. The club of the antenna is longer 



than the footstalk and more than twice 



the length of the clypeus. The front tibia bears two sharp teeth, 

 the hind femur is rather thick, all the claws are long, sharp and 

 undivided, and the inner front one is dilated.

Coppery, with the elytra chestnut, slightly metallic, the sides of 

 the pygidium and of the abdominal segments having more or less 

 distinct paler spots, those on the pygidium generally uniting to 

 form a wavy line. The sternum is thickly clothed with long 

 tawny hairs, and there are a few similar hairs on the vertex of 

 the head and the apex of the pygidium. 



The body is slightly elongate, broadest ne^r the extremity, and 

 convex. The head is densely rugose and opaque, and the clypeus 

 transverse, with the front margin gently rounded. The pronotum 

 is completely margined and minutely punctured, the punctures 

 being fairly close in the middle and rather dense at the sides ; the 

 lateral margins are obtusely angulated in the middle, the front 

 angles are sharp, the hind angles blunt but a little produced, and 

 the base is trisinuate. The scutellum is finely punctured and has 

 a short linear impression on each side. Each elytron has a deep 

 sutural stria and four paired striae enclosing elevated costae, and 

 the intervening spaces are flat and strongly and irregularly 

 punctured. The pygidium is finely, and at the sides densely and 

 rugosely, punctured. The mesosternum is not produced, the front
