Maxwell Lefroy and described by him under the name of Anomala varians in vol. ii. of the Mem. Dept. Agric. India, 1910, p. 143. The larvae appear to feed indifferently upon the roots of G-ramineaB and other plants, having been found attacking millets, rice, sugar-cane, grasses, etc. It is reported as having caused considerable damage to a crop of ground-nuts, but it is possible that Mr. Lefroy's report refers to more than one species, for Anomala hengalensis, BL. which was not distinguished by him, is perhaps the most abundant one in the part of India under his personal observation. A summary of his account of the life- history is given in the introductory remarks at the beginning of this volume. 125, Anomala bilunata. Anomala bilunata, Fairm., Ann. Soc. Ent.
