60 SECOND YARKAND MISSION. 



indistinct ; they bear no hairs, hut under a good lens are seen to possess some extremely short 

 setae ; and their sides are densely ciliate. The pygidium is of a whitish colour, that is to say* 

 the surface is very pruinose ; it is finely punctured. 



The male has the nabellum of the antennas twice as long as the female, it being quite as 

 long as joints 2 to 7 together ; the front tibiae do not show much difference in the sexes ; they 

 are rather stout and distinctly tridentate. The ventral segments in the male are not impres- 

 sed along the middle, but are a little flattened, and almost free from punctuation. 



The species is remarkable on account of the divided front of the head ; a trans-Caucasian 

 species which I received some time ago from M. Deyrolle as R. porosus agrees with it in 

 this respect, but has the ventral segments densely pubescent, while in R. bilobus these same 

 parts are bare. The species is variable in colour and size. 



Yangihissar, April 1874. About twenty individuals, mostly much injured, and probably 

 picked up dead. Also Kogyar, 31st May to 2nd June.

 Jhelam Valley, July 1873. Two specimens. 



ANOMALA (Munich Cat.). 

 29. ANOMALA STBIOLATA, Blanchard. 



A single individual of an Anomala found at Murree differs from the description of 

 Blanchard's A. striolata only by some details of colour, the most important of which is that the 

 under-surface and legs are purple. Specimens in my own collection, labelled India, are prob- 

 ably conspecific with the Murree individual, though they do not quite agree in all details- 

 In a genus like Anomala, where many species are so extremely variable in colour, it is not 

 advisable to make new specific names on the evidence of such slight differences. 



30. ANOMALA* STOLICZKJ:, n. sp. 



Ovaia, minus convexa, Icetissime viridis, nitidissima, elytris subopacis, antennis nigris ; 

 capite thoraceque Icevigatis ; elytris seriebus duplicatis punctorum tribus, et inter eas sat 

 crebre punctatis. 



Long. 12J mm., lat. 6J mm.. 



Of a very beautiful, brilliant, golden-green colour, with the elytra pure green and but 

 little shining. The thorax is narrowed towards the front, with the anterior angles acute and 

 prominent, the posterior ones well marked and slightly obtuse ; the raised margin is very 

 distinct, and is wanting only from the middle both in front and behind. The scutellum is 

 impunctate and shining, like the thorax. The punctuation of the elytra is rather fine and 

 scanty ; they have some irregular and unsymmetrical black spots, which are probably only 

 accidental. The propygidium is rugose; the pygidium is rugose at the base, and is elsewhere
