brassy-green with tawny-red elytra glossed with green ; 4, cop- 

 pery, with coppery-brown elytra ; 5, violet-brown ; and 6, nearly 

 black. 



Anomala sieversi, V. Heyden, Horse Soc. Ent. Rossicae, xxi. 

 (1887), p. 266. 



Gensan and Fusan. Abundant also at Kiukiang on tlie Yang-tsze. 

 A species resembling much in colour and pilosity the Japanese 

 Phyllopertha octocostata. Barm., which, according to Yon Heyden, 

 was taken by Herz also in Korea. 



Anomala testaceipes, Motschulsky, Etud. Entom. 1860, p. 14; 

 Harold, Deutsch. ent. Zeitsch. 1877, p. 356. 



One example only, of brassy-testaceous colour, taken at Gensan ; 

 with I'lytral interstices much less opaque than in the Japanese form. 



Anomala orientalis, "Waterhouse, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1875, 

 p. 1U8. 



A good series of examples from Gensan, nearly all with uni- 

 colorous elytra, one only dark coppery brown ; in otber respects 

 they do not differ from the Japanese form. 



Anomala dubia, Ballion, Bull. Moscou, 1870, iv. p. 344. 



I refer with some hesitation a species, of which Mr. Leech took 

 several examples at Gensan, to the above. They agree with the very 

 insufficient description, if we may suppose that it was drawn up from 

 an immature example in which the elytra are " testaceis, seneo- 

 micantibus." The normal colour of the whole upper surface is rich 

 metallic green, in some examples having a more aeneous or golden- 

 green tint. It is an oblong densely-sculptured species, and is closely 

 allied to the Chinese A. aulax (Wiedm.), from which, in fact, it 

 scarcely differs except in its smaller size (12-14 millim.), in the 

 underside being wholly dark metallic, and in the absence of any 

 traces of pale borders to the thorax and elytra. 



Anomala (Euchlora?) mongolica, Ealdermanu, Mem. Acad. 

 Petrop. ii. 1835, p. 379. 



Many examples taken at Gensan. Found also in Mongolia, on 

 the Amur, and in Japan. The species is placed by all later authors 

 in the genus or subgenus Euchlora ; but I can discover no single 

 point of structure to distinguish it from the typical Anomalce {A, 

 fritschii and allies), with which it agrees in the angularly dilated 

 lower branch of the larger anterior tarsal claw in the male — a cha- 

 racter which separates the typical Anomalce from Euchlora viridis 

 and its immediate relatives. 



Anomala (Paraspilota) impicta. 



Elongato-ovata, glabra, Jlavo-testacea, supra (maculis thoracis 

 vagis fuscis exceptis) impicta antice auro-tincta, suhtus corpora 

 medio, pedibus antennisque plus minusve nigris ; clypeo lato et 

 brevi, antice late truncato medio subsinuato, marginibus alte
