Mimela marginahfi, sp. n. 



Saturate viridis, baud metallica, antennis, clypeo, pedibus, abdo- 

 minis extremitate supra et subtus, prothoracis et elytrorum 

 marginibusque exterais flavibus, plus minusve viriditinctis, 

 corpore subtus fusco-aeneo ; corpore supra tenuiter minute punc- 

 tate, clypeo subtiliter rugoso ; mesosterno paulo producto sat 

 acuto, tibiis anticis bidentatis. 



Long. 19-23 mm. ; lat. max. 12-13 mm. 



Ilab. Allahabad, Mungphu, Bhotan. 



Deep non-metallic green, with the antennae, clypeus, legs, 

 the hind margins o£ the propygidium and pygidium, the 

 outer margins of the pronotum and elytra, and usually the 

 extremity of the abdomen beneath testaceous, more or less 

 suffused with metallic green. The body is oval, very smooth, 

 very lightly punctured above and thinly clothed at the sides 

 beneath with greyish hairs. The clypeus is finely rugose, 

 the forehead, pronotum, and scutellum minutely and sparingly 

 punctured. The elytra are finely and rather irregularly 

 punctured, with a complete line of punctures upon each 

 adjoining the suture, and a few other imperfect lines. The 

 pygidium is rather more coarsely but not deeply punctured. 

 The antennae are long, the mesosternal process is short but 

 rather slender and acute, and the front tibiie are bidentate, 

 the apical tooth being blunt and long and the lateral one 

 short and rather sharp. The inner claw of the front tarsus 

 is rather widely cleft. 



? . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is very long. 



M. marginalis is most nearly related to the Ceylon species 

 M. mundtssi?7ia, Walker, but is larger, more elongate, and 

 has a less sharply defined marginal yellow band. In tlie 

 Ceylonese species the mesosternal process is not produced 

 and the front tibise are not distinctly bidentate. It, again, is 

 closely allied to the S. -Indian M. xanthorrhina, Hope, which 

 differs in its paler green colour, less definite marginal band, 

 and more strongly sculptured elytra.
