Show 1866.] MR. H. W. BATES ON FORMOSAN COLEOPTERA. 343 species, in the striae of the elytra being scarcely punctured ; the punctures are visible only with a lens, and chiefly near the base. The elytra are also more elongated than in C. mellyi. I do not know whether it m a y not be the C. planicornis (Laferte), also an Indian species ; but the author has never published its characters.

The body beneath and legs are reddish testaceous, with the abdomen darker and brassy, and the tarsi pitchy. ANOMALA INCONCINNA.
