ji'pout the sa'ue size before apical declivity, the spot on apical declivity irregularly 

 roniided and !il)out as lartre as the one placed on the subbasal callosity. 

 Oue 6 from Toli-Toli, North (Jelebes. 



3Tb. M. guttata ochropus siibsp. uov. 



cJ ?. The proximal segments (6) or the whole shaft (?) of the antennae and 

 the greater part of the tibiae and tarsi Inteons ; median vitta of pronotnm narrow ; 

 the dorsal spots 1 and 2 of the elytrnra larger than in the previous race, 2 being 

 the largest of all, the marginal spots also enlarged, with the exception of the one 

 before apical declivity, which is reduced to a dot or absent, the subapical spot also 

 rcdnced and more transverse than in ^f. ;/. (/utfata. 



Oue cJ and two ? ? from Ternate, and oue <S from Batjan. 



3Tc. M. guttata suavis snbsp. nov. 



?. Shaft of antenna blackish, rufescent, first segment luteous ; mesial stripe 

 of pronotum straight, less than half the width of a black vitta ; black spots of 

 elytrnra larger than in M. g. ochropus, the second dorsal spot concave behind, the 

 interspai-e between it and the third less than half the width of the second spot, 

 the third spot connected with the lateral margin, the lateral spots as well as the 

 subapical one also larger than in ochropus-, tarsi and apex of tibiae brownish black ; 

 a large spot of the same colour on sides of metasternnm. 



One ? from Morty (Wallace). 



38. Mucronianus lepidus spec. uov. 



?. Similar to .1/. rufprs Jord. (1894), shorter. Kostrnm with distinct median 

 carina, which does not reach the apex and is continued on the frous by a thin 

 sulcus; dorsally in front of the eye a deep longitudinal groove bounded on inuer 

 side by a kind of carina ; between e3'e and antennal groove a thin carina ; sides of 

 rostrum and of head, border of eyes and an ill-defined mesial line on head creamy. 

 Frons about half the width of the eye in a frontal view, much wider than in 

 M. rufipes. Antenna black, proximally rufescent at the joints, segment 3 twice 8, 

 9 a little longer than 8, half as long again as 10, this as long as broad, 11 as long 

 as 9. 



Pronotum nearly shaped as in M. nijipes, more evenly narrowing from the 

 dorsal carina forward, punctate all over, not ragose, almost entirely olivaceous 

 creamy bnfif, with five black spots on each side, two being placed near middle line, 

 two halfway towards side, and oue at side; longitudinal basal carina more obli(iue 

 thin in .1/. rxjipeis, and therefore forming a distinct angle with the lateral carina ; 

 there is also a short basal transverse carina at each side. 



Elytra more depressed at base than in M. rufipes, also somewhat dejiresscd 

 along the suture, without any prominent grannies, and with the rows of punctures 

 obsolete at apex ; olivaceous creamy bntf, with the following black markings : a 

 riiuiided spot on subbasal callosity continued laterally by some short streaks and 

 conuected with that of the other elytrum by a sutnral sjiot ; behind subbasal 

 callosity some dots, and farther laterad some lines ; close behind centre a transverse 

 band composed of confluent spots, the sutnral spot being a little more frontal than 

 tlie other, and the lateral spot being small, farther back a small rounded s]iot in
