Anomala/yo/n Sonthern India. 475 



Pale yellow, entirely suffused with a metallic green lustre 

 and decorated with dark ^rt'en markings consisting of a 

 broad patch on the vertex of the head, a large patch on each 

 side of the pronotum, almost or quite extending to the front 

 and hind margins and sometimes coalescing in the middle, 

 the scutellum, an oblii|ue hasal elytial spot near it on each 

 side, an indclinite postmcdian interiuptcd stripe and a zigzag 

 antcapical one. There is a large oval patch on each side of 

 the pygidium, sometimes green and sometimes brown with a 

 gret n encircling ring. 



The shape is oval, slightly elongate, and rather broad 

 towards the extremity. Tlie clypeus and forehead are densely 

 ])unctato-rugose. The prothorax and scutellum are very 

 shining and extremely finely and sparingly puuclured, with 

 larger punctures at the sides of tlie former. Tiie lateral 

 margins are gently angulated beforo the middle, the hind 

 angles nearly right angles, and the base gently lobed before 

 the scutellum. Tlie elytra are deeply striated, the strife 

 closely punctured, the interstices convex and the fifth divided 

 longitudinally by a continuous row of closely-set punctures. 

 The pygidium is very shining and finely and sparsely punc- 

 tured. The mesosternal process is lung, strongly curved, 

 and a little compressed. The sides of the metasternum <are 

 closely punctured and thinly hairy. The front tibia is 

 strongly bidentate and the longer claw of the front and 

 middle feet cleft. 



(^ . The apical tooth of the front tibia is short, the upjier 

 one well marked. The lower lobe of the inner front claw is 

 broad and angulated beyond the middle. The hind femur 

 bears a strong blunt lobe a little before the middle of the 

 lower edge. 



? . The apical tooth of the front tibia is long and blunt. 

 The hind femur bears a distinct angulation before the middle 

 of its lower edge. 



I know of no other Anoinala in which an armature of this 

 kind is found in the male. Whether it is A. sirigata of 

 ('astelnau it is not possible to determine.
