pubescent ; the basal segment about half the width of the 2nd and 

 curved upwards ; a deep transverse sulcation close to the apical 

 margin of the 1st segment and another close to the constricted base 

 of the 2nd segment, the latter sulcation continued on the underside 

 of the abdomen. 



Pundaloya (Gfreen coll.). 



Described from three specimens in my collection from various 

 parts of Tenasserim and from two specimens in Mr. Green's col- 

 lection. This species resembles M. gracilis. Smith, from Celebes, 

 but this latter has the prothorax smooth, the metathorax coarsely 

 rugose, the legs rufo-piceous, and the basal segment marked with a 

 central longitudinal channel. Prom M. orientalis, Smith, found in 

 Northern India, it differs considerably in size and coloration.
