all the legs are unmetallic green and the front tibie slightly 
toothed on the distal half only. 
The discoloration regarded by Burmeister as a sexual pecu- 
liarity may possibly be due to immaturity or to the action of 
preservatives. I have scen it in all stages, and it appears to 
be one of these imperfect specimens which has been honoured 
with specific rank by Herr Nonfried, under the name of 
Sulctpalpus subviolaceus. 
Dr. Ohaus has kindly pointed out to me that a name— 
Anomala solida—used by me in a previous paper (Trans. Ent. 
Soc. Lond. 1899, p. 257) dealing with sexual dimorphism in 
the Rutelidw is occupied by a species of Erichson’s placed as 
synonymous with A. enea by Gemminger and Harold, but 
regarded as distinct by Dr. Ganglbauer. I therefore rename 
my species Anomala mutata.

Three males. 
These seem to differ a little from Senegal specimens by 
their darker red colour and by the base of the elytra being 
narrowly and indeterminately black. The legs are also very 
dark. Gerstaecker, by an error, says the mdddle tibie in the 
male are toothed; it is, of course, the front tibia, and the 
middle pair only, as he afterwards says, bent near their 
apices. 
Ancylopus unicolor, Gerst. Mon. Endom. p. 194. 
A single male specimen without the locality, but I believe 
from Salisbury with the preceding. ‘he front and middle 
tibia are both toothed, as they are in A. melanocephalus .
