  segment 
  ; 
  a 
  roundish 
  

   mark 
  near 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  segment 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  ; 
  

   a 
  semicircular 
  one 
  on 
  the 
  extreme 
  apex 
  ; 
  and 
  a 
  broad

   of 
  golden 
  pubescence 
  on 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  ; 
  the 
  other 
  

   segments 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  with 
  long, 
  pale 
  golden 
  hair 
  ; 
  the 
  

   pygidial 
  area 
  rufous 
  in 
  the 
  centre, 
  strongly 
  and 
  uniformly 
  

   longitudinally 
  striolated. 
  The 
  basal 
  ventral 
  segment 
  

   rufous 
  at 
  the 
  sides 
  ;

  closely 
  

   punctured,

  This 
  species 
  has 
  a 
  considerable 
  resemblance 
  to 
  M. 
  

   buddha 
  Cam., 
  but 
  that 
  is 
  longer; 
  its 
  legs 
  are 
  stouter 
  

   shorter 
  and 
  more 
  thickly 
  haired 
  ; 
  the 
  basal 
  abdominal 
  

   segment 
  is 
  wider 
  compared 
  with 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  more 
  dis- 
  

   tinctly 
  separated 
  from 
  it, 
  the 
  second 
  segment 
  itself 
  being 
  

   of 
  equal 
  breadth 
  at 
  base 
  and 
  apex, 
  whereas 
  in 
  M. 
  litigiosa 
  

   the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  segment 
  is 
  narrower 
  than 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  and 
  

   in 
  M. 
  buddha 
  the 
  pygidium 
  is 
  not 
  striolated.

  Hab. 
  Trincomali, 
  Ceylon 
  ( 
  Yerbury). 
  

  

  Similar 
  in 
  form 
  and 
  coloration 
  — 
  black, 
  with 
  the 
  thorax 
  

   red 
  above, 
  the 
  second 
  abdominal 
  segment 
  with 
  two 
  white 
  

   round 
  spots, 
  the 
  one 
  behind 
  the 
  other, 
  and 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  

   the 
  third 
  segment 
  covered 
  with 
  silvery 
  hair 
  — 
  to 
  M. 
  con- 
  

   stancia, 
  but 
  easily 
  separated 
  by 
  the 
  very 
  roughly 
  tubercu- 
  

   lated 
  median 
  segment. 
  Is 
  also 
  not 
  unlike 
  M. 
  litigiosa 
  

   described 
  in 
  this 
  paper, 
  but 
  that 
  has 
  the 
  pleurae 
  red, 
  the 
  

   head 
  more 
  coarsely 
  and 
  not 
  so 
  thickly 
  punctured, 
  and 
  the 
  

   base 
  of 
  the 
  thorax 
  above 
  is 
  not 
  black. 
  Also 
  not 
  unlike 
  

   M. 
  dives 
  Cam., 
  but 
  differs 
  in 
  the 
  tuberculated 
  median
