194 BUTELIK^E. 



scutellum bears a few fine punctures, and the elytra bear six deeply 

 impressed, finely punctured dorsal striae ; the intervals are convex, 

 the subsutural one broader than the rest and divided by a line of 

 coarse punctures, which is incomplete behind and disrupted in 

 front. The marginal membrane is rather wide posteriorly. The 

 pygidium is transversely strigose and bears a very few long erect 

 hairs. The metasternum is clothed at the sides with rather close 

 yellowish pubescence. The legs are rather long and slender, the 

 front tibia armed with two strong teeth, the hind tibia moderately 

 slender and the longer claw of the front and middle feet cleft. 

 The claw-joint of each foot is encircled by a few very long and 

 fine bristles, longer than the claws. 



c? . The inner front claw is very broadly dilated and sharply 

 angulated beneath. 



Length, 9-5 mm. ; breadth, 5 mm.

194. Anomala longiceps, sp. nov. (Plate III, fig. 19.) 



Testaceous, suffused with a metallic green lustre, and with the 

 head (except the front part of the clypeus), a large irregular 

 discoidal patch upon the pronotum (sometimes resolved into two 

 by a median line), the pygidium, or a patch on each side of it, and 

 parts of the lower surface, dark green or coppery. The legs are 

 pale, with the tarsi red and the hind tibiae coppery red. 



It is elongate-oval and rather depressed, with very long and 

 slender legs, not very shining above, the entire surface being 

 closely punctured, and there is only a very 

 scanty clothing of minute hairs beneath. 

 The clypeus is narrow, semi-elliptical in 

 shape and densely rugose, and the forehead 

 is densely punctured. The pronotum and 

 scutellum are rather closely punctured, with 

 the sides of the former rounded, all the 

 angles rather sharp and the base finely 

 margined. The elytra bear each a sutural 

 and three discoidal costse, broad and well- 

 elevated in the middle, but disappearing in 

 47 Anomala i ront an d behind, and the entire surface is 

 longiceps, <j>. finely but rather rugosely punctured. The 

 pygidium is rather feebly, and the meta- 

 sternum and abdomen are more finely, rugulose and shining. 

 The second venti-al segment bears two spines close to the lateral 

 margin on each side. The front tibia is armed with two teeth, 

 the terminal one rather long; the hind tibia is very long, the 

 tarsi are very slender, and the longer claw is cleft on the front 

 and middle feet. 



c? . The longer front claw is very unequally cleft, the hind tibia 

 is more slender, and the hind tarsus longer, than in the female. 

 Length, 9 mm. ; breadth, 4-5 mm.
