ANOMALA. 243 



Three examples. The lateral margin of the elytra is not dilated though gradually 

 and slightly thickened towards the base, where the marginal stria is broader and more 

 deeply impressed. 



The species has somewhat the form, colour, and aspect of the green Pyronotce of 

 New Zealand. 



4. Mesosternum valde porrectum. (Spilota, partim, Burm.) 



83. Anomala cMorotoides. 



Elongato-ovata, Igevissima, capite punctato, thorace et elytris subtilissime vix perspicue punctulatis, his punc- 

 tulis seriatis striaque suturali nulla postice rugulis transversis nonnullis notata ; castanea, seneo-nitens, 

 thorace saturatius viridi-seneo limbo lato laterali flavo, lateribus arcuatis, basi bisinuato immarginato; 

 elytris abbreviatis, margine laterah post dinridium obsoleto, stria marginali versus humerum profunda 

 ibique margine incrassato ; pygidio fere piano, polito, sparsim transverse striguloso. Mesosternum longe 

 porrectum, apice subrecurvo. Tibiae anticse apice extus prolongatse, dente 2° parvo obtuso ; posticus vix 

 suratse, lseves. 



Long. 16 millim. 5 •

One example. Bears some resemblance to a small Chlorota or Anticliira. 



84. Anomala specularis. (Tab. XIII. fig. 16.) 



Elongato-ovata, resplendenti-viridi-senea rufo-translueens, vertice thoraceque saturatius argenteo-viridibus, 

 hoc limbo lato laterali flavo, elytris fulvis argenteo-nitentibus ; clypeo lato, postice paullulum ampliato, 

 antice parum arcuato, margine reflexo confluenter, fronte et vertice disperse, punctatis ; thorace postice 

 ampliato lateribus arcuatis, basi immarginato bisinuato, margine juxta scutellum paullo reflexo, supra 

 dispersissime punctulato ; elytris abbreviatis, margine laterali, usque prope apicem integro, versus humeros 

 gradatim mediocriter incrassato ibique stria marginali latiore et profundiore, regulariter punctato-striatis, 

 striis l a -4 m et 9 a 10 a que versus apicem profundioribus, stria 2 a versus basin haud impressa biseriatim 

 punctulata : pygidio parum convexo, aspere transversim undulato-strigoso, griseo-setoso. Mesosternum 

 longe porrectum, robustum. Tibiae antiese apice extus recte prolongatse, dente 2° parvo propinquo ; posticse 

 parum surate, laeves. S • Tarsi antici ungue majore usque prope apicem lato, apice late furcato. 



Long. 18 millim. S •

 One example. 



85. Anomala chrysanthe. (Tab. XIII. fig. 17.) 



Magna, ovata, viridi-senea resplendens, thorace limbo laterali pedibusque fulvo-rufo translucentibus ; capite sat 

 magno, oculis parvis, scabroso-punctato, vertice laeviore, clypeo lato postice latiore, antice parum arcuato 

 margineque reflexo ; thorace paullo post medium leviter angulatim dilatato, angulis anticis acutis, basi 

 bisinuato, immarginato, supra sat fortiter et minus disperse punctulato ; elytris post medium latioribus, 

 utrinque 4-costatis (2 exterioribus nullomodo convexis, minus distinctis), striis juxta costas versus apicem 

 profunde impressis, interstitio 2° latissimo confuse, post medium (cum limbo apicali) grossius, scabroso- 

 punctulato, interstitiis inter costas l m , 2 m et 3 m minus latis confuse punctatis, margine laterali usque prope 

 apicem estenso, versus humerum gradatim incrassato ibique stria marginali lata et profunda ; pygidio parum
