punctured. The lower surface is almost without hair, the sides 

 are strongly punctured, and the mesosternum is not produced. 

 The legs are Jong, the front tibia is bidentate, the hind tibia 

 inflated before the middle, and the claws are long and slender. 



d . The larger front claw is not cleft and the longer middle one 

 only very feemy ; the hind tibia is rather swollen in the midlle 

 and contracted at the extremities. 



$ . The longer claw of the front and middle feet is slightly cleft.

199. Anomala signaticollis. (Plate III, fig. 36.) 



Anomala signaticollis, Nonfried, Berl. Ent. Zeitschv. 1893, p. 334. 



Bright yellow, with a pale metallic green lustre, with the vertex 

 of the head, the centre of the pronotum, the extremity of the hind 

 tibiae and the hind tarsi, deep green. The extreme inner and 

 outer edges of the elytra may also be dark green, and this may 

 spread inwards until a large part or the whole of the elytra is 

 or this colour, the head and prothorax becoming simultaneously 

 diffused with it, until on the former only a narrow front margin 

 and on the latter narrow lateral margins remain pale. 



The body is elongate, parallel-sided and rather depressed. The 

 head is densely rugose in front and strongly punctured behind, 

 and the clypeus is short and broad, with its margin strongly 

 reflexed and nearly straight in front. The pronotum is sparingly 

 but rather evenly punctured, strongly transverse, with the front 

 angles acute, the hind angles obtuse, and the base finely margined 

 and gently trisinuate. The scutellum is small and short, smooth 

 in the middle, with a few punctures near the sides. The elytra 

 have each five strongly impressed and coarsely punctured dorsal 

 strise, the subsutural interval being wide, with an incomplete 

 median line of irregular punctures on its anterior part ; the mar- 

 ginal membrane is distinct, and the apical angles are rounded. 

 The pygidium is moderately and rather deeply punctured. The 

 lower surface is almost free from hair, the sides strongly punc- 

 tured and the mesosternum not produced. The legs are long, 

 the front tibia is bidentate, and the hind tibia inflated, the claws 

 are slender, and the longer one of the front and middle legs 

 minutely cleft. 



3 . The outer division of the longer front claw is extremely 

 minute and remote from the tip of the claw. The hind tibia is 

 rather swollen in the middle and contracted at the extremities.
