totne new Species c;/Miinela. 217 



thinly pubescent. Tlie mesosternal process is small but 

 acutely produced. The front tibiae are distinctly bidentate 

 and the antennee slender. 



There are two male specimens in the British Museum, one 

 of them collected by the late E. T. Atkinson and the other 

 by Col. W. F. Badgley.

Four specimens (all females) have been sent to us by the 

 Kev. Wilfred A. Maw. 



Light olivaceous green, with the clypeus, the lateral 

 margins of the pronotum, and the posterior part of the sides 

 of the pygidium pale and metallic, the femora and breast 

 testaceous, the abdomen more or less dark coppery, the tibiae 

 brown, and the tarsi black. It is strongly convex, shining, 

 and elongate, with the sides subparallel, and the breast and 

 the sides of the abdomen are thickly clothed with grey hair. 

 The clypeus is coarsely rugose and rather straight in front, 

 the forehead strongly punctured, the pronotum, scutellum, 

 and elytra moderately finely but closely, the punctures 

 becoming much coarser and confluent at the sides of the 

 pronotum. The pygidium is coarsely rugose but slightly 

 shining. The rnesosternura is pointed but scarcely extends 

 beyond the middle coxae, and the front tibias are bluntly 

 bidentate. 



This species is very closely related to M. passertnii, Hope, 

 and of the .same colour and shape, but its smoother upper 

 surface gives it a quite different appearance. The elytra are 

 much more finely but moderately closely punctured, and the 

 pygidium is rugose, but not so densely as in M. passerinii, 

 and scarcely hairy. The prosternura also is blunter and 

 scarcely produced.
