AIIMELA DEBILIS. 239 



aenea sat nitida , crebre punctata , elytrorum punctis seriatis 

 sat conspicuis ; antennis rufo-piceis ; pygidio opaco , nudo , 

 dense , aequaliter , parum fortiter ruguloso. — Long. 1 7 m.m. 



Very similar in form to the European A. vitis (A. aenea 

 Mun. Cat.) but a little smaller, and similar in colour to 

 the Japanese A. cuprea. Head very densely but not coar- 

 sely punctured. Thorax shining, very evenly, but neither 

 closely nor coarsely punctured. Elytra with the rows of 

 punctures distinct, though not differing much from the in- 

 terstitial punctuation , this latter similar to that of the 

 thorax; the epipleural margin distinct till it reaches the 

 propygidium, the membranous border rather broad as in 

 A. vitis ', by this character the species may be considered 

 intermediate between A. severa Burm. and A. cuprea Hope. 



Five specimens have been brought home: one was cap- 

 tured in March 1877 at Agam, an other in the same month 

 at Paja Koemboeh, and three in May 1878 in the district 

 of Rawas. 



24. Mimela debilis, n. sp. 



Pallide testacea , vix metallesceus , prothorace crebre puuc- 

 tato ; elytris seriebus regularibus circiter decem punctorum , 

 interstitio primo solum punctato. — Long. 9 — 11 m.m. 



Antennae entirely pale , with rather short club. Head 

 coarsely punctate in front , the vertex coarsely punctate. 

 Thorax yellow, but more distinctly tinted with a golden 

 or metallic reflection than the rest of the surface , modera- 

 tely coarsely and closely punctured. Elytra with ten or 

 eleven rows of rather coarse punctures, which are some- 

 what deeply impressed so that the interstices are a little 

 convex , the first of these interstices bears on the basal 

 portion an irregular punctuation which ceases before the 

 extremity. Pygidium coarsely punctate. Breast only very 

 sparingly pubescent. Legs rather short and stout, pale 

 yellow, except the tarsi, which are more or less infuscate 

 or obscure.
