56 LAMKLL100KNIA. \Aiunnala. 



body is cyanoous ; head thickly punctured, antennae reddish with club 

 blackish ; thorax transverse, narrowed in front, sinuate at base, disc 

 rather strongly and evenly punctured, posterior angles blunt ; scutellum 

 large, thickly and strongly punctured ; elytra with punctured striae, 

 interstices of irregular breadth, the first the broadest, the wider ones 

 flatter and more thickly punctured ; under-side more or less metallic, 

 thinly pubescent in front and at sides of abdomen ; legs black or pitchy. 

 L. 8-12 mm. 



Male with the external claw of the anterior tarsi slightly dilated. 



Sandy places on the const, also by beating young trees; sometimes on the wing; 

 generally distributed along the mid and southern coasts of England and Wales, but 

 rarer further north; Scotland, rare, Clyde, Forth and Tay districts; Ireland co. 

 Kerry, co. Cork, and near Belfast; it usually occurs on the coast or near the sea, but 

 sometimes is found inland, and has been taken at Woking, Richmond, &c. The 

 unicolorous green variety is very rare, and has occurred at Kipley, Surrey, Richmond, 

 and Brauutou Burrows, North Devon. 



The Anomala Donovani of Stephens appears to be a very rare variety 

 of this species ; it is described by him as follows on the authority of 

 two specimens, locality unknown, in the British Museum, and two taken 

 by Donovan in Glamorganshire : " Black brass, slightly shining ; elytra 

 punctate- striate, testaceous, the suture, apex, and sides bronzed-black, 

 the disc with a brown-red band across the middle ; legs pitchy." 



CETONIINA. 



This tribe contains a very large number of genera and species, which 

 are perpetually being added to, as the members of the tribe are such 

 conspicuous insects that they attract the attention of even the most 

 casual observers, and are therefore more often collected by travellers than 

 perhaps those of any other group ; some idea of the extent of the tribe 

 may perhaps be gathered from the fact that since the publication of the 

 Munich catalogue of the Scarab^idae in 1869, no fewer than one 

 hundred and forty-eight genera and eight hundred and fifty new species 

 have been described ; ten genera, represented by thivty-six species, occur 

 in Europe, of which four genera and seven species are found in Britain ; 

 they may be known from the Rutelina by having the tarsal claws equal, 

 and may be divided as follows : 



I. Elytra eraarginate at sides ; epimera of mcso thorax visible 



from above, 

 i. Legs stout ; anterior tibiae with three teeth on their 



outer side; tarsi not longer than tibite CETONIA, Fab. 



ii. Legs less stout ; anterior tibiro with two teeth on their 



outer side ; tarsi much longer than tibiae (< >.\ YTII K KI-: A. Muls.) 



II. Elytra not emarginate at sides; epimera of mesothorax 

 not visible from above. 



i. Elytra taken together longer than broad ; thorax 

 glabrous GNOBIMUS, 



ii. Elytra taken together not longer than broad; thorax 

 pilose TBICHIUS, F.
