This peculiar insect was taken in numbers by Mr. R. 

 Shellord's native collectors. It is one of the best-marked 

 species of the enormous genus Anomala, and cannot be com- 

 pared to any other. It is a short, compactly built, species, 

 with the hind tibia swollen in the middle and tapering to a 

 slender footstalk at its attachment to the femur. The elytra 

 liave in both sexes a slight lateral depression behind the 

 shoulder and are widest just behind this. The posterior half, 

 the shoulders, and the region adjacent to the scutellum are 

 rather bright reddisii chocolate, and the prothorax bears two 

 large spots of the same colour. The entire upper surface is 

 very deeply and strongly punctured. 



Anomala pi'olixa, sp. n. 



Castaneo-brunnea, leviter ajneo-micans, segmentorum abdominalium 

 lateribns flavo-spilotis, corpora elongate, antice angustato, supra 

 nitidissimo, pectore dense, abdomine pygidioque postice parcius, 

 flavo-hirsutis ; capite subopaco, rugose punctato ; prothorace 

 modice punctato, medio leviter sulcato, lateribus medio angulatis, 

 augulis posticis fere productis ; scutello lateribus distiucte punc- 

 tatis ; elytris longis, fere ad apices dilatatis, antice disperse 

 subtiliter punctatis, deinde magis regulariter, postice striato- 

 punctatis, late membranaceo-marginatis ; pygidio omnino rugoso ; 

 mesosterno antice baud prominent! ; tibiis anticis bidentatis. 



Long. 23 mm. ; lat. max. 11-5-13 mm. 



Eab. N. Borneo: Kina Balu (Whitehead). 



I have seen only four female examples, which, like the two 

 preceding species, formed part of the Alexander Fry Bequest 

 to the British Museum. The shape of this insect is peculiar 

 Among the metallic species of Anomala it is unusually elon- 

 gate, and the elytra gradually waden from the shoulders 

 almost to the end. Their membranous fringes are wide and 

 conspicuous, but the line of junction with the elytra becomes 

 indetinite at the hinder part. The prothorax is rather small 

 in proportion, rather abruptly narrowed towards the front 

 angles, with the hind angles sharp. Each abdominal segment 

 has a large yellow spot on each side, and an indistinct spot is 

 sometimes traceable also on each side of the pygidium, wiiich 

 is prominent, rather finely rugose, and furnished with long 

 hairs upon its posterior half.
