Facies of the genus Curtonotus, but differs in the 

 simple structure of the intermediate tibiae of the male. 

 The soft hairs on the hind tibiae of the same sex are only 

 three or four in number, and scarcely visible among the 

 spines, but this character suffices to bring the species 

 within the definition of the genus Bradytus, where it 

 seems less out of place than in Leiocnemis.

 is clearly only a slight variation, common enough in this 

 genus, in which the striae are less deeply impressed.

In its somewhat greater size this species approaches 

 nearest the form of M. oricntalis found in the Andaman 

 Islands. M. oricntalis is an apparently common species 

 throughout the whole Indo-Malayan region, and varies 

 considerably in different localities. I have seen no
