added that M. Sumatrana, Jac, differs in important respects from 



M. maculicollis, Baly, on which the genus was founded. 



M. (?) cincta, sp. nov. Oblonga ; sat robusta ; sat nitida ; fulva ; 



antennis (articulo 1° basi excepto), palpis, et metasterno, 



nigris ; tibiis intermediis posticisque, tarsis omnibus, et 



abdomine postice, infuscatis vel piceis ; elytris marginibus 



omnibus cyaneo-nigris ; capite prothoraceque subtiliter 



crebre, elytris minus subtiliter sat crebre, punctulatis. 



Long., If 1. ; lat., 4 1. (vix.) 



The blue-black edging of each elytron is wider along the base 



and suture than on the lateral margins. The infuscation of the 



posterior 4 tibiae begins a little above the middle. The antennae 



are very little more than half the leng-th of the body, robust, the 



first and fourth joints each equal to the other and to the second 



and third together, the third rather longer than the second. The 



head bears a very strong somewhat arched transverse furrow 



between the eyes. The prothorax is very little Avider than long, 



its front angles but feebly defined, its hind angles dentiform ; it 



bears an extremely strong, round fovea on either side of the disc, 



and these are feebly connected by a shallow transverse impression.

NEORUPILIA, (/e7i. nov. 



Caput sat magnum ; antennge gi^aciles corpore vix breviores ; 

 articulo 1° elongato, 2° 1° triplo bieviori, 3° 2° duplo 

 longiori, 4° 3° longitudine sequali ; acetabula antica postice 

 aperta ; epipleurte distinctse postice obsoletJB ; tibiae 

 mucronatae ; unguiculi leviter appendiculati, parvi ; 

 metasternum breve ; elytra abdomen hand tegentia. 

 The metasternum not longer than the presternum and the 

 elytra separately rounded (or almost subtruncate obliquely) at the 

 apex leaving the last segment and part of the penultimate ex- 

 posed in one sex (in what I take to be the other sex not quite 

 covering the antepenultimate segment) associate this insect with 

 the group Bupiliites of Dr. Chapuis, but it is not closely allied 

 structurally to any of the previously described genera of that 

 group. The claws are very small, and seem to be slightly appen- 

 diculate; they are certainly not bifid as in all the known 

 Rupiliites except Jlarseiilia in which they are simple ; perhaps 

 they would be best described as obtusely dentate near the base. 

 iV. viridis, sp. nov. Oblonga ; minus robusta ; sat nitida ; nigra, 

 supra subaureo- viridis ; antennis basi, genubus, tibiis, et 

 tarsis (apice excepto), testaceis ; capite prothoraceque 

 sparsim subtilissime, elytris sat crebre sat crasse 

 subsquamose, punctulatis. Long., 1 1 ; lat., h 1.
