28 Mr. r4ilbcrt J. Arrow's Conlribntion to ihe 



gently simiatod behind, witlv the hind angles a little diver- 

 gent. The lateral foveae are deep and fully half as long 

 as the prothorax. The elytra have broad recurved lateral 

 margins. 



M. hirida is chiefly notable for its strongly-marked male 

 features. The legs in that sex are very long and stont, 

 the middle and hind femora thickened and a little curved, 

 the antennae loosely-jointed and slender, and the fifth 

 ventral segment bears a strongly elevated transverse crest 

 or carina, produced at each end and curved inwards and 

 backwards.

This little species is easily recognisable by its very 

 short, globular shape and the beautiful metallic purple 

 colour of the upper surface. The coloration is similar to 

 that of M. lurida, but the purple hue is much more intense, 

 and the antennae, although coloured in the same way, 

 with the terminal joint ])ale, are nuich shorter and more 

 compact. 



Mycetina soror, sp. n. 



Flavo-iufa, nil.ida, elytris satuiate eyaneis, metallicis, sat fortiter 

 et crebre punctatis, singulo pustula flava rotundata ante medium 

 ornato; M. doriae similissima, sed elytris eyaneis, profunde sat 

 crebre punctatis, antennisque paulo latioribus. 



Long. 3'.'5-4'5 mm. ; lat. max. 2*5-3 mm.
