I have no hesitation in referring to this species two fine male 

 examples which were taken at Thagatà in Tenasserim. 



The pubescent bands of the elytra in these examples are of 

 a beautiful golden green colour. Mr. Ritsema's supposition that 

 the grey colour of the pubescence in his specimen was « due 

 to their having been preserved for some time in spirits » is 

 thus shown to be correct. The characters by which the species 

 has been stated to differ from M. zonator are clearly evidenced 

 in the two examples before me.

Taken on the Catcin Mts. ; at Carin ^Nlts. (district of Asciuii 

 Gheba) at an altitude of 1200-1300 m., at Rangoon in Lower 

 Burma, and at Bhamo in Upper Burma. 



This species is allied to, and closely resembles, A. reticulator, 

 Fabr. It has, however, somewhat smaller ochreous spots on the 

 elytra and differs , especially, by the complete absence of tufts 

 of black hairs from the fourth and fifth joints of the antennae. 

 The third joint only is furnished with a thick tuft of black hairs. 

 The species resembles A . dathrator, Thorns, in the smaller size 

 of the ochreous spots of the elytra. 



I have seen a considerable number of examples of this species 

 from Burma, and in all, without exception, the fourth and fifth 

 joints of the antennae have the characters mentioned above.

Since I described this species under the name quoted above 

 I have seen examples in Bates's collection thicketed Aristobia 

 Voeti, Thoms. , and M. René Oberthiir , during a visit to Lon- 

 don , recognized Thomson's species in my type. All the exam-
