 grey hair at the sides, and smooth iu the middle. The mesosternal 

 process is extremely slender and sharp, but not quite so long as iu 

 A. tum'ulicauda. The front tibia is bideutate, and the longer claw 

 is clett in the front and middle feet. 



S . The teeth of the front tibia are straight, oblique and sliarp, 

 and the longer claw is broad and minutely cleft.

Deep metallic green, with the head, pronotum and scutellura 

 liery-red and the elytra orange-yellow, the whole surface, except 

 the elytra, suffused with metallic lustre. The lateral margins of 

 the pronotum are deep blue-greeu. 



It is elongate-oval in shape and moderately convex. The head 

 and pronotum are very smooth and shiuing, with very minute 

 and scanty punctures, the clypeus rectangular, with its margin 

 strongly reflexed, and the eyes large and prominent. The sides 

 of the pronotum are not rounded, strongly convergent in front, 

 slightly divergent behind ; the front angles are acutely produced, 

 the hind angles right angles, and the base not margined. The 

 scutellum is very blunt, and the elytra are finely punctui-ed, some 

 of the punctures forming double rows ; the outer edge forms a 

 conspicuous horizontal flange from the shoulder to the middle, tlie 

 membranous margin is well-developed from the middle of the 

 flange to the sutural angle, and the apical margin is a little 

 sinuated. The pygidium is very smooth and shining, convex and 

 clothed with long but not numerous erect hairs upon its posterior 

 part. The sides of the body beneath are clothed with rather long 

 greyish hair, and the mesosternal process is acute and nearly 

 straight. The upper tooth of the front tibia is very feeble, the 

 hind tibia slender, and the longer claw cleft on the middle and 

 hind feet. 



cf . The club of the antenna is long, the front tibia acute at 

 the end, the inner front claw uniformly dilated, and the abdomen 

 hollowed beneath.

The unique type seems not to have been distinguished by Hope 

 from Mimela hicolor, which it resembles in coloration, though not 

 at all in shape.
