ANOMALA. 231 



Length, 16-18 inin. ; breadth, 9'5 mm. 



BUUMA (G. Q. C'orbett). 



Ti/i>e in. the British Museum ; co-type in Mr. H. E. Atidrewes' 

 collection. 



This species is closely allied to A. peguensis, but is smaller and 

 more smooth and shining above, the puncturation being less close, 

 especially upon the pronotum. The female is unknown, but pro- 

 bably has the pygidium clothed with long hair, as in A. peguensis. 



245. Anoinala monochroa. 



Anomala monochroa, Bates,* The Entomologist, xxiv, 1891, SuppL 

 p. 17. 



Very deep green, with the lower surface and legs deep metallic 

 green, sometimes with reddish reflections. 



It is compactly oval and convex, with the sides of the body 

 thinly clothed beneath with short golden hair. The clypeus is 

 rugosely punctured, the forehead and pronotum very closely, and 

 the elytra finely and rather closely, the punctures being denser at 

 the sides. The apical margins of the elytra are narrow. The 

 pygidium is densely and rather finely granular, and the sides of 

 the metasternum are rather densely punctured. The front tibia 

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

 cleft. 



$ . The teeth of the front tibia are short and sharp, and the 

 longer claw of the front foot is bent at the base. The pygidium 

 is very finely granular and almost opaque. 



$ . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is longer and 

 blunter, and the pygidium is rather more shining and less finely 

 granulated. 



Length, 24-27 mm.; breadth, 14-15 mm. 



BUBMA : Malewoon (L. Fea, July and August) ; MALAY 

 PENINSULA. 



Type in M. Rene Oberthiir's collection. 



This species was described by H. W. Bates as taken at Kulu, 

 in the Punjab; but as in the case of Anomala holomelcena, Melo- 

 lontha aryus and other insects enumerated in the same paper, a 

 mistake seems to have been made as to the real place of origin. 

 Probably specimens from the Malay Peninsula were accidentally 

 mixed with those brought from Kulu. 



246. Anomala chlorosoma, sp. nov. (Plate II, fig. 15.) 



Uniform deep green above and beneath, the legs and lower 

 surface slightly metallic. 



Oval, convex, very smooth and shining. The head is strongly 

 and closely punctured, the clypeus rather broadly rounded. The 

 pronotum is finely punctured, denselv at the sides, very lightly 

 and minutely in the middle ; the front angles are acute and the 

 hind angles slightly obtuse. The elytra bear fine and irregular
