interrupted in places but not very close together ; four white spots 

 in a transverse row near the base. Underside coarsely strigose, with 

 sparse hairs and white spots at the sides ; mesosternal process broad, 

 a little dilated and rounded at the apex ; abdomen with a double 

 row of transverse white spots on each side. Legs short and stout, 

 the femora fringed with yellowish hairs, anterior tibiae with two 

 lateral teeth, tarsi black. 



Kanara; Belgaum. 



Allied to G. prasina, Hope, but rather larger and more robust 

 with the scutellum broader and more obtuse, the clypeus less 

 narrowed towards the apex, the whole punctuation of the head 

 distinct and well separated (not confluent and forming striae as in 

 that species), the punctuation of the thorax is also more sparse and 

 not confluent at the sides, the pygidium is more coarsely and much 

 less closely strigose and the mesosternal process is flatter, and broader 

 at the apex, the upper surface is also devoid of the fine setae which 

 are always more or less present in prasina, and the colour is darker. 



Mr. Andrewes took two specimens at Nagargali (Belgaum 

 district) in April and May 1887, and received others from 

 Mr. Bell who states both the type form and variety to be 

 common on flowers in Kanara, in June.

Belgaum. 



Two specimens, taken by Mr. Andrewes during the rains 

 in 1886, 1 find to agree perfectly with this species of which 

 I possess the original type specimen from the collection of 

 the late Major Perry; this specimen is labelled "Philippine 

 Islands" and was described by Wallace as coming from 

 that locality, but I have no doubt this is an error now that 

 I have identified it as an Indian species. 



It comes in Burmeister's section II. of the genus 

 Anoplochilus and is closely allied to terrosa, Gory, for 

 which Kraatz has (D. E. Z., 1881, p. 264) proposed a separate 

 genus under the name of Eumimimetica ; it also agrees 

 quite well with the characters given of his more recently 

 created genus Pseudanthracophora, which therefore sinks
