Hub. Burma, Ruby Mines (Doherty). 



One specimen. A very elongate, shining, black form, 

 with red legs, a sparsely punctured, oblong head, compara- 

 tively small eyes, rather stout, long antennae, a long, 

 narrow, roughly punctured prothorax, and elongate, con- 

 fusedly punctate, sparsely pubescent, subparallel elytra. 

 M. instriata, Pic, from Perak (Doherty), may be an allied 

 smaller form, with testaceo-fasciate elytra.

Elongate, robust, shining, clothed with line, adpressed, fuscous 

 pubescence, with scattered, intermixed, erect, brown hairs, the

 and antennae obscure rufo-testaceous, the antennae becoming 

 darker towards the tip, the palpi nigro-piceous. Head rather 

 long, obliquely narrowed behind the comparatively small eyes, 

 closely, finely punctate, with a short, deep, occipital groove ; antennae 

 moderately long, gradually thickened outwards, joints 9 and 10 a 

 little longer and stouter than 8, subequal, 11 about the length of 

 9 and 10 united in $, slightly longer in $. Prothorax oblong-oval, 

 convex, attenuate in front, not or very little wider than the pro- 

 thorax, obliquely compressed on the flanks posteriorly, densely 

 granulato-punctate, the basal groove dee]). Elytra moderate^ long,

Three specimens. An elongate, robust, fusco-pubescent, 

 blackinsect (the antennae and tarsi excepted), with roughly 

 sculptured prothorax and elytra, a much smoother, finely 

 punctate, posteriorly narrowed head, rather small eyes, 

 a deep occipital sulcus, and the antenna) joints it and H>
