smooth, each with a sutural and two dorsal costae slightly indicated 

 and minute scanty punctures in the intervals. The pygidiuro is 

 short and broad, with a broad impression at the apex ; it is finely 

 punctured in the middle, and rather closely and rugosely at the 

 sides. The metasternum is strongly and closely punctured at 

 the sides, with very short, scanty and inconspicuous hairs, and 

 smooth and very tumid in the middle, where, together with the 

 mesosternum, it forms a very broadly compressed laminar process, 

 semicircularly rounded in front. The front and middle legs are 

 moderately slender and the hind ones rather stout ; the front tibiae 

 are armed with two not very sharp teeth, and the longer claw of 

 the front and middle tarsi is cleft. 



Length, 17 mm. ; breadth, 9 mm.

 O. T. Bingham). 



Type in the Geneva Museum. 



I do not know the female, the description being drawn^from the 

 ( cJ ) type in the Geneva Museum. I am very sceptical of the 

 supposed locality of this specimen. An allied species occurs in 

 the Malay Peninsula. 



283. Anomala isolata, sp. nov. 



Deep golden green, with the pygidium, lower surface and legs- 

 (except the hind tibiae and the tarsi) generally paler. 



It is broadly oval, compact, convex and very shining, with 

 moderately slender legs. The clypeus is short, broad, rounded at 

 the sides and rugosely punctured, and the forehead is strongly 

 but separately punctured. The pronotum is short, rather 

 strongly and evenly punctured, with the sides obtusely angulated 

 in the middle, the front angles acute, the hind angles obtuse, and 

 the base not margined in the middle. The scutellum is strongly 

 punctured, and the elytra bear rather irregular rows of strongly 

 impressed punctures, with a very broad, closely and irregularly 

 punctured, subsutural interval ; the humeral and apical calli are 

 prominent and the three striae between the latter and the suture 

 are very deeply impressed posteriorly. The pygidium is strongly 

 punctured. The mesosternum is produced, but short, blunt and 

 compressed, and the sides of the metasternum are closely punc- 

 tured arid clothed with extremely fine and inconspicuous pale 

 pubescence. The tibiae are slender, the front pair armed with 

 two strong teeth, the hind ones not inflated, nor dilated at the 

 end. The longer claw is cleft in the front and middle feet. 



c? . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is short and sharp, 

 and the pygidium is more shining than in the female. 



$ . The terminal tooth of the front tibia forms a rounded lobe. 



Length, 16-17 mm. ; breadth, 9-10 mm.
