suddenly, the lateral margins also more or less black or unicolorous. 

 Beneath piceous. Prosternum very broad. Legs fulvous, the 

 anterior femora with a strong tooth.

Hob. Bengal : Mandar. 



Cleorina seems to me to be the only suitable place for the recep- 

 tion of this species, in spite of its strongly toothed anterior 

 femora. Cleoporus has the eyes surrounded by a broad sulcus, and 

 Mouliotina has the thorax and elytra subcylindrical in shape ; the 

 present insect has the ovately rounded shape, the long, filiform 

 antennae and broad prosternum peculiar to Cleorina.

 Mouhotina, Lefevre, Cat. Eumolp. 1885, p. 130. 



Type, M. femorata, from Cambodia. 



Range. Burma ; China ; Solomon Islands. 



Short, ovate, very convex, glabrous above. 



Head perpendicular, immersed in thorax ; eyes narrowly ovate, 

 sinuate within ; clypeus distinctly separated from the face, anterior 

 border concave-emarginate ; antenna? half the length of the body, 

 basal four joints cylindrical, following joints compressed, feebly 

 dilated. Thorax transverse, sides margined. Scutellum subovate. 

 Elytra much wider than the thorax, subquadrate-ovate, very convex, 

 regularly punctate-striate, shoulders prominent. Legs robust ; 

 femora incrassate, anterior and posterior femora dentate ; inter- 

 mediate and posterior tibiae emarginate at their apices; claws 

 appendiculate. Prosternum transverse, subquadrate ; anterior 

 margin of thoracic episternum convex. Mesosternuni short, 

 transverse. 



The transverse prosteruum and appeudiculate claws characterize 

 this genus ; the shape of the thoracic episteruum distinguishes it 

 from Payria.

 p. 913. 



Piceous beneath ; above obscure fulvo-reneous. 



Head sparingly punctured on the vertex, the lower portion 

 strongly strigose or covered with highly raised oblique rugosities, 

 the space in front of the eyes bounded by an oblique ridge, another 

 less distinctly marked ridge is placed on the middle of the vertex ; 

 clypeus separated from the face by a transverse groove, from the 

 middle of which another deep longitudinal groove extends upwards 

 for some distance, dividing the rugose space between the eyes ; 

 antennae dark fulvous or with the apical joints darker, the latter 

 distinctly thickened, the third joint a little longer than the fourth. 

 Thorax about half as broad again as long, the sides very slightly
