This species was referred to the familiar Phylhpertha 

 horticola, L., by Waterhouse, but treated by Lewis as a 

 variety of P. irregularis, Wat. It is readily distinguishable 

 from the latter by the coarser sculpture, non-metallic elytra, 

 straight clypeus,&c.,but is very closely related to P. horticola. 

 It differs, however, in its broader form and less hairy body, 

 and especially by the shorter, more transverse, and more 

 strongly and distinctly punctured pronotum, which is 

 usually of a golden or fiery-green colour. The clypeal 

 margin is straight in front or feebly concave. The last 

 joint of the maxillary palpus is very large and hatchet- 

 shaped. , 



I have recently described a new species of Popilha 

 (P. lewisi), from Okinawa I., in a paper dealing with the 

 genus Popillia (Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) vol. xn. 1913, 

 p. 45).
