90 Mr. G. J. Arrow on Beetles 



lias sent specimens of both sexes of this insect, of which the 

 female has a divided claw on each of the four anterior legs 

 and the male on the two front ones only, as described by 

 llerr Kolbe. Although M. Fairmaire's description applies 

 in this respect to the male only, the remainder of the characters 

 enumerated can leave no doubt, I think, as to my correctness 

 in regarding it as identical with the later-described A. rufa. 



Anomala p{ngu{s^VQxm^.,^\s,o found at Salisbury, appears 

 to be nearly related to the above species, but I do not yet 

 know the female of it. The male has the outer claw divided 

 in the front pair of legs only. 



Anomala tolerata, Paring. — I had drawn up a description 

 of this species, but suppress it as Mr. Peringuey has sent 

 it to me under this name. It may be useful, however, to 

 state that it is not readily distinguishable from my A. J^is- 

 tanti except by the difference of the claw-division, this in the 

 new species being alike in both sexes. 



Anomala dorsata, Fahr. — This appears to be subject to 

 very great local variation. The specimens from Salisbury 

 seem to be nearly always of the variety vittipennis, Falir., 

 and my marginicoVis must also, I think, be regarded as a 

 variety of the same species. Specimens from Nyasaland and 

 Zanzibar agree with this and differ from the J\Iashonaland 

 representatives and those described by Fahra2us in having a 

 distinctly metallic upper surface. They also agree in having 

 no trace of a third tooth upon the front tibia, whereas this is 

 present in all Mr. Marshall's specimens. 



Anomala hasalis, Blanch., another very widely distributed 

 species, seems not uncommon at Salisbury. It also is very 

 variable in colouring, and the orange-coloured patches may 

 even disappear entirely. If it has been generically separated 

 on insufficient grounds, it is at least an isolated form, having 

 nearer affinity with some of the Oriental species than with 

 any other African Anomala.
