This is one of the small species having evident relationship to 

 Popillia, but differing in the absence of an emargination to the 

 pronotum in front of the scutellum. 



288. Anomala parva, sp. nov. 



Deep golden-green or coppery-red, with the elytra orange, 

 suffused with a metallic greenish or reddish lustre, and sometimes 

 with the pygidium also orange, with a deep green patch on each 

 side. 



It is rather short, broad behind, a little depressed, very shining, 

 and thinly clothed beneath and at the end of the pygidium with 

 fine yellowish hairs. The head is closely and rugosely punctured, 

 with the clypens rather narrow and gently rounded in front. 

 The pronotum is very minutely and sparsely punctured, except 

 near the sides, where the punctures are large and deep ; the sides 

 are angulated in the middle, scarcely rounded, the front angles 

 acutely produced and the hind angles almost right angles ; the 

 base is not margined. The scutellum is smooth, and the elytra 

 bear six deep and closely placed dorsal grooves containing large 

 punctures ; the marginal membrane is rather broad behind. The 

 pygidium is coarsely transversely rugose, but slightly shining. 

 The mesosternum forms a compressed lamina extending well 

 beyond the middle coxae, but very blunt and not at all produced 

 forward. The legs are rather long, the front tibia armed with 

 two strong teeth, the hind tibia not at all inflated, nor dilated 

 at the end, and the longer claw of the front and middle feet cleft 

 at the tip. 



3 . The front tibia is shorter and broader, and the two teeth 

 are shorter and sharper, than in the female. 



$ . The elytra are longer and have a strong lateral thickening 

 behind the shoulders. 



Length, 6*5-8 mm. ; breadth, 3-5-4-5 mm.

289. Anomala dohertyi, sp. nov. 



Deep golden- or coppery-green, with the tibiae and tarsi 

 coppery-red, the elytra, a median longitudinal line and the lateral 

 margins of the pronotum, and the femora light golden-green. 



It is very shining, with the sides of the body beneath and the 

 end of the pygidium thinly clothed with yellowish hairs ; oval in 

 shape, a little depressed, with the head and prothorax narrow. 

 The head is coarsely and rugosely punctured, with the clypeus 

 broadly rounded. The pronotum is rather long and narrow, very
