upon the alternate intervals, the' others being narrow, convex and 

 minutely punctured. The pygidium and lower surface are very 

 thinly hairy, and the metasternum is finely arid closely punctured. 

 The front tibia bears two strong teeth placed rather close together, 

 the hind tibia is long and slender, and the front and middle feet 

 have the larger claw bifid. 



c? . The antennal club is rather long and the tibial teeth short 

 and very sharp. 



Length, 14'o mm. ; breadth, 7'5 mm. 



SIKKIM: Kurseong (VerscJiraeyhen, Lynch), Gopaldhara, Bung- 

 bong Valley (H. Stevens) ; X. BENGAL: Siliguri (Indian Mas., July). 



Type in the British Museum. 



Three specimens taken by Verschraeghen at Kurseong are 

 males and have the pygidium transversely striolated and broadly 

 black at the base, while four specimens from the Indian Museum, 

 taken at Kurseong and Siliguri, are all females, with the pvgidium 

 densely pitted and yellow, except for a very narrow black basal line. 



213. Anomala flavopicta. 



Anomalajiavopicta, Arrow, Arm. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) ix, 1912, p. 75. 



Pale yellow, with the head, a median stripe upon the pronotum 

 -extending from front to hind margin (narrowed before the latter 

 but extending along it almost from side to side), the scutellum, 

 and two irregular transverse bands upon the elytra (the anterior 

 one frequently reaching the base and sometimes uniting with the 

 posterior band), black or dark brown ; the head, thoracic markings 

 and scutellum faintly metallic. The base of the pygidium (with 

 a pointed median prolongation), the tibiae and tarsi are also dark, 

 the front and middle tibiae sometimes yellow on their inner side. 

 The antennas are long and yellow. 



It is narrow, rather parallel-sided and not convex. The clypeus 

 is small, narrowly semicircular arid rugose. The eyes are large, 

 the forehead very coarsely rugose, and the vertex strongly but 

 not densely punctured. The pronotum and scutellum are closely 

 punctured ; the sides of the former are angulated before the 

 middle, strongly convergent to the front angles, which are acute, 

 and slightly divergent to the hind angles, which are nearly right 

 angles. The elytra have three or four pairs of punctured striae, 

 bordering slight costse, which, like the remaining surface, are 

 minutely and rather sparingly puuctulated ; the intervals are 

 irregularly punctured. The pygidium is transversely striolated 

 and bears long hairs at the apex. The metasternum is densely 

 punctured and clothed with rather long yellow hair, except in 

 the middle, and the abdomen is strongly but not closely punc- 

 tured. There is no sternal process. The front tibiae are strongly 

 bidentate, the hind tibiae very long and slender and the longer 

 claw of the front and middle feet is cleft. 



c? . The inner front claw is broad and its lower edge strongly 

 bisinuated. 



Length, 13-14 - 5 mm. ; breadth, 7-7*5 mm.
