After examining a fair series of both forms I am unable to 

 distinguish 31. frontalis, Fst., from Bohemau's species except by 

 the coloration of the elytra, which, however, appears to be very 

 constant. All the specimens from Kanara and all those collected 

 by Mr. Andrewes on the Coonoor side of the Nilgu-is belong to 

 the var. frontalis ; while those from the remaining localities are of 

 the typical form. Another colour variation also occurs in the 

 ]N'ilgiris. 



M. lineatocollis var. divisus, nov. 



Differs from the typical form in having the upper surface of 

 the rostrum, head, protliorax, and the entire disk of the elytra as 

 far as the fiftli stria covered with uniform greyish-brown scaling, 

 with the exception of a narrow line of green scales along the inner 

 edge of the eyes and along the rostral emargination.
