ANOMALA. 265 



smooth, with a few strong punctures at the sides and in the front 

 angles ; the sides are scarcely rounded, obtusely angulated near 

 the middle and nearly straight to the angles, which are all sharp, 

 the front ones acutely produced ; the base is not margined. The 

 scutellum is smooth, and the elytra bear six close and strong 

 dorsal grooves, containing coarse indefinite punctures, the mar- 

 ginal membrane being rather broad at the extremity. The 

 pygidium is densely transversely rugose and opaque. The meso- 

 sternal process is strong, very slightly produced and very blunt, 

 and the sides of the metasternum are coarsely rugose. The front 

 tibiae are bidentate, the hind Hbiae not inflated nor distinctly dilated 

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

 cleft. 



3 . The antennae are rather long, the front legs rather stout, 

 with the tibial teeth short and the inner claw dilated. 



$ . The elytra are gradually dilated and strongly thickened 

 before the middle, and the terminal tooth of the front tibia is 

 long and curved. 



Length, 8 '5-10 mm. ; breadth, 5-6 mm.

Deep metallic green, with the clypeus, the sides of the prothorax 

 and generally a very narrow basal line, the elytra and legs reddish 

 testaceous. 



The clypeus is finely, the forehead more coarsely, rugose, with 

 a few coarse hairs between the eyes. The prothorax is nearly 

 twice as broad as it is long, very shining, with two deep pits on 

 each side ; the lateral margins are strongly angulated a little 

 before the middle, and nearly straight from there to the front 

 and hind angles. The scutellum bears only a few minute punc- 

 tures, and the elytra are deeply and closely sulcate from base to 

 apex, the sulci being finely rugulose, and the fifth and seventh 

 intervals bearing irregular punctures on the anterior part. The 

 pygidium is densely clothed with decumbent grey hair, and the 

 lower surface is punctured and hairy at the sides and nearly 

 smooth in the middle. 



J . The pronotum is minutely and rather sparingly punctured, 

 and the pygidium is very convex. 



$ . The prouotnm is strongly punctured in its anterior part, 

 rugosely in the middle. 



Length, 11 mm. ; breadth, 7 mm.
