72 Mr. J. O. Westwood's Descriptions of Species 



Fabricius, induces me to add a coinparative description of tlie 

 two species, together with a magnified figure of each. The figures 

 given by Messrs. Gory and Percheron (Mon. Get. p. 315, pi. 62, 

 figs. 2 and 3) of M. regia, Fab., and M. depressa (which is the 

 dark state of the species, M. regia being a red, probably an im- 

 mature, specimen), agree with the insect represented by me in 

 PI. VII. fig. (), especially in the rounded form of the prothorax. 

 Their specimen of M. depressa was from Calcutta, and that of 

 M. regia was from the East Indies. In their description of the 

 latter they are silent as to the two short slender pale lines near 

 the shoulder of each elytron, but M. Guerin's excellent figure 

 (pi. 02, fig. 3) exhibits them. 



The specimen of M. regia, Fab., represented in our PI. VII. 

 fig. 6, is a native of Moulmein in the East Indies, and lias been 

 presented to the Entomological Society of London by Mrs. Hamil- 

 ton.
