Habitat in agro Assamense. 



This elegant species was given to me by Dr. Cantor, who ob- 

 tained it from Assam. As I have previously written a monograph 

 on Mimela, and have already described two other species from 

 the same locality, I take the opportunity of introducing another 

 nondescript.
