Anomala from Southern India. -ISl 



proiiotum, and tlie extremities of the elytra fringed with 

 similar hairs. The clypeus is rather small, rounded and 

 stronu;ly reflexed at the margin and rugosely punctured, 

 antl the forehead is coarsely punctured. The pronotuni is 

 rather strongly and evenly punctured, the sides angulated in 

 the middle, scarcely curved, the hind angles obtuse, the base 

 gently lobed and not margined. The scutellum is rather 

 broail and scarcely punctured. Tiie elytra have several 

 double rows of punctures, with broad and irregularly punc- 

 tured spaces bctueen. The pygidiuni is strongly punctured. 

 The niesosternum is produced into a narrow, rather com- 

 pressed but not acute process, which is not at all curved 

 but abruptly bent downwards in front of the middle coxte 

 and sometimes nearly vertical. 



^ . The inner front claw forms a broad, rather sliarp- 

 ]i()inted lamina, very minutely cleft on its outer edge. The 

 club of the antenna is as long as the footstalk. 



Among tifteen specimens in the British Museum, the Paris 

 ]\Iuseum, and the collection of Baron de MofTarts I have seen 

 no females. 



The deflexion of the sternal process is a peculiar character 

 which I have never found elsewhere. The process is gene- 

 rally nearly vertical, but the angle of flexion varies and is 

 occasionally very obtuse.

Hah. Madura: Shembaganur (P. c7» I?/-e(»7). 



Pale yellow, with a very slight metallic lustre, the head, 

 prothorax, and scutellum coppery green or bronzy. 



It is a stout-bodied ovate insect, with its greatest breadth 

 near the posterior end, and rather thickly clad with greyish 

 hair on the lower surface, the p^^gidium, and extremities of 

 the elytra. The inner edges of the eyes and the lateral 

 margins of the pronotum are also bordered with white hairs.
