MIMELA. 123 



The body is ovate, rery convex and shining. The clypeus is 

 short, broadly rounded and moderately punctured. The forehead 

 and pronotum are very finely punctured, the latter more scantily 

 at the sides. The scutellutn is short and scantily punctured. 

 The elytra are rather strongly and closely punctured, and have 

 four double longitudinal rows of punctures, which become deeply 

 sulcate towards the posterior end. The pygidium is moderately 

 punctured. The metasternum is closely punctured at the sides 

 and clothed with short tawny hair, and the abdomen is rather 

 coarsely punctured at the sides. The mesosternuin is not 

 produced and the front tibia is bideritate. 



J . The club of the antenna is rather long. 



Length, 15-17 mm. ; breadth, 9-9*5 mm. 



MADBAS : Anamalai Hills (4700 ft.), Nilgiri Hills (Sir G. F. 

 Jlampson), Coonoor, 6000 ft. (Capt. Sewell, June), Travancore 

 (J. Castets, Sept.). 



Type in the Oxford Museum. 



M. xanfhorrhina has considerable resemblance to M. mundissima, 

 but it is distinguishable by its pale quasi-translucent colour and 

 the yellow elytral border, which is less sharply defined, especially 

 behind. 



108. Mimela anrelia, sp. nor. 



Golden, with green and pink reflections, the clypeus rather 

 more green, and the abdomen and tarsi more or less brown. 



The body is short and ovate, rather broad behind, and very 

 smooth and shining. The head is large, the clypeus broadly 

 semicircular and finely and densely rugose, the forehead finely 

 and closely punctured. The pronotum is rather short, finely 

 punctured (but more strongly and closely at the sides), with the 

 front angles acutely produced, the sides strongly rounded behind 

 and the hind angles obsolete. The elytra are moderately strongly 

 and evenly punctured, with three double rows of regular punc- 

 tures on the disk. The pygidium is finely and scantily punctured. 

 The mesosteruum is not produced, the metasternum is rugulose 

 and thinly clothed with fine pale hair at the sides, and the abdo- 

 men is bare and shining. The front tibia is armed with two 

 strong teeth, and the hind tibia is inflated before the middle and 

 rather narrow at the extremity. 



<$ . The inner front claw is strongly bent, broad and widely 

 cleft. 



Length, 21 mm. ; breadth, 12 mm. 



BUEMA : on the Siamese border (K. G. Gairdner). 



Type in the British Museum. 



I have seen only a single specimen. 



This species greatly resembles the Chinese M. testaceoviridis, BL, 

 but is rather larger, with the puncturing of the elytra a little less 

 coarse and the hind angles of the prothorax rounded off.
