  Anomala 
  ovampoa, 
  n. 
  spec. 
  

  

  Piceous 
  red, 
  with 
  a 
  greenish 
  bronze 
  sheen 
  ; 
  clypeus 
  broadly 
  

   rounded 
  laterally, 
  sub-retuse 
  in 
  front 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  only 
  slightly 
  

   reflexed, 
  very 
  closely 
  and 
  roughly 
  punctured, 
  head 
  also 
  roughly 
  

   punctured 
  from 
  the 
  transverse 
  impressed 
  line 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  ; 
  palpi 
  and 
  

   antennae 
  piceous 
  red 
  with 
  the 
  club 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  flavescent 
  ; 
  prothorax 
  

   obliquely 
  attenuate 
  laterally 
  from 
  about 
  the 
  median 
  part 
  to 
  the 
  

   apex, 
  and 
  nearly 
  straight 
  from 
  the 
  middle 
  to 
  the 
  posterior 
  angle, 
  

   covered 
  with 
  very 
  closely 
  set 
  and 
  deep 
  round 
  punctures 
  separated 
  

   from 
  one 
  another 
  by 
  a 
  space 
  equal 
  to 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  punctures, 
  and 
  

   having 
  in 
  the 
  centre 
  a 
  longitudinal 
  smooth 
  area 
  ; 
  scutellum 
  with 
  

   fine 
  scattered 
  punctures 
  and 
  a 
  smooth 
  median 
  area 
  ; 
  elytra 
  of 
  the 
  

   normal 
  shape, 
  and 
  having 
  the 
  three 
  first 
  intervals 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  

   carinate, 
  sub-tectiform, 
  and 
  smooth, 
  in 
  the 
  third 
  interval 
  the 
  pluri- 
  

   seriate 
  punctures 
  reach 
  only 
  to 
  about 
  one-fifth 
  of 
  the 
  length, 
  the 
  

   punctures 
  of 
  the 
  striae 
  are 
  somewhat 
  deep 
  and 
  regular; 
  the 
  pygidium 
  

   is 
  covered 
  with 
  small 
  but 
  deep 
  foveate 
  punctures 
  somewhat 
  closely 
  

   set 
  ; 
  the 
  pectus 
  is 
  moderately 
  densely 
  villose 
  ; 
  the 
  anterior 
  tibiae 
  

   are 
  bi-dentate 
  outwardly, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  female, 
  the 
  only 
  sex 
  known 
  

   to 
  me, 
  the 
  outer 
  claw 
  of 
  both 
  the 
  anterior 
  and 
  intermediate 
  tarsi 
  

   are 
  deeply 
  cleft 
  and 
  somewhat 
  broad.

  mm.

  width

  Hab. 
  Ovampoland. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  resembles 
  very 
  closely 
  A. 
  senegalensis, 
  the 
  $ 
  of 
  

   which 
  is 
  unknown 
  to 
  me 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  costae 
  on 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  not 
  

   aciculate, 
  and 
  the 
  punctures 
  on 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  third 
  intervals 
  are 
  

   more 
  numerous 
  and 
  extend 
  further 
  from 
  the 
  basal 
  part. 
  

  

  Anomala 
  dita, 
  n. 
  spec, 
  

   Plate 
  XLL, 
  fig. 
  41. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  is 
  very 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  the 
  preceding 
  one, 
  but 
  a 
  

   ittle 
  more 
  robust 
  in 
  proportion 
  to 
  its 
  size. 
  The 
  colour 
  varies 
  

   between 
  piceous 
  red 
  and 
  reddish 
  bronze 
  ; 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  clypeus 
  

   is 
  the 
  same, 
  and 
  the 
  sculpture 
  of 
  the 
  whole 
  head 
  is 
  somewhat 
  

   roughly 
  shagreened, 
  but 
  not 
  quite 
  as 
  strongly 
  as 
  in 
  A. 
  ovampoa; 
  

   the 
  punctures 
  on 
  the 
  prothorax 
  are 
  finer, 
  less 
  deep, 
  more 
  scattered 
  

   on 
  the 
  discoidal 
  part, 
  and 
  although 
  being 
  as 
  numerous 
  laterally, 
  

   they 
  are 
  less 
  rugose 
  there 
  ; 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  is 
  normal, 
  but
