 ■ M.'ijallida closely resembles M. montivaga Cziki, but is 

 i;atli(3r shorter and broader in shape, with the legs entirely 

 pale aiid the antennae less slender and more compact. 

 TJhe joints of the latter increase so gradually that there is 

 no perceptible division between the club and footstalk, 

 but four or five joints are dilated. The species is also 

 exceedingly like 31. nebulosa, but the antennae are rather 

 less wide, only two, instead of three, basal joints are red 

 and the basal groove of the pronotum is closer to the hind 

 margin. 



Mycetlna cinctipennis, sp, n. 



Laete liava, pronoti medio rufescenti elytrorumque medio toto 

 nigro, antennis iiigris, articulis duobus vel tribus basalibus rutis; 

 late ovata, nitida, modice convexa, pronoto brevi, lato, lateribus 

 antice areuatis, postice fere rectis, paulo divergentibus, basi recto, 

 sulco basali ad marginem valde approximato; elytris paulo elon- 

 gatis, minute sed distincte punctatis, lateraliter leviter cxplanatis, 

 antennis comjiactis, clava sat lata, baud detinita.

I have seen a single specimen from each of the above 

 localities. 



The sharply contrasted red and black colouring of this 

 little species is very distinctive. In other respects it is 

 very closely related to M. pallida, but a little shorter and 

 broader in shape, with the elytra rather more convex.
