 Anomala chlorochelys, Arrow, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) x, 1912, 



p. 340. 



Bright green, with the lower surface, legs and extreme edges 

 of the head, pronotum and elytra golden-red. 



It is a large, very shining, oval and convex species. The clypeus 

 is rounded and closely punctured, the forehead more finely and 

 less closely. The pronotum is very finely arid closely punctured, 

 a little more strongly at the sides. The elytra are very shining, 

 finely and lightly punctured, with the outer 'margins conspicuously 

 dilated towards the extremity and truncate behind, forming an 

 obtuse external angle ; the membranous margins are narrow and 

 almost concealed by the lateral dilatation. The pygidium is sub- 

 metallic arid transversely rugulose. 



cf. The two teeth of the front tibia are sharp and close 

 together. 



$ . The two teeth of the front tibia are less sharp and close 

 together, and the pygidium bears a few long scattered hairs. 



Length. 26-29 min. ; breadth, 15-16-5 mm.

Very dark bronzy green, with the sternum and legs greenish 

 black and the abdomen beneath deep mahogany-red. 



The body is elongate-oval in shape, not very convex and ex- 

 tremely smooth and shining. The sides of the mesosternum are 

 thinly clothed with decumbent yellowish hair, and the pygidium 

 bears a few very long and erect hairs. The clypeus is short and 

 very minutely punctured, with the margin nearly straight in front 

 and the posterior suture deep and nearly straight. The forehead 

 bears similar but more scattered punctures, and the pronotum is 

 thinly and very minutely, but rather equally, punctured ; it is 

 short, with the sides angulated near the middle, the front angles 

 acute, the hind angles well-marked and slightly obtuse, and the 

 base gently trisinuate, with a marginal line interrupted in the 

 middle. The scutellum is scarcely punctured, and the elytra bear 

 inconspicuous lines of extremely minute punctures ; the humeral 

 and apical callosities are prominent, the apical margins nearly 

 vertical, and the marginal membranes very broad and conspicuous, 

 especially at the posterior part of the sides. The pygidium is 

 very smooth and shining in the middle, finely and rather rugosely
