suddenly, the lateral margins also more or less black or unicolorous. 
Beneath piceous. Prosternum very broad. Legs fulvous, the 
anterior femora with a strong tooth.

Cleorina seems to me to be the only suitable place for the recep- 
tion of this species, in spite of its strongly toothed anterior 
femora. Cleoporus has the eyes surrounded by a broad sulcus, and 
Mouhotina has the thorax and elytra subcylindrical in shape ; the 
present insect has the ovately rounded shape, the long, filiform 
antennse and broad prosternum peculiar to Cleorina.

Type, M. femorata, from Cambodia. 
Range. Burma; China; Solomon Islands. 
Short, ovate, very convex, glabrous above. 
Head perpendicular, immersed in thorax ; eyes narrowly ovate, 
sinuate within ; clypeus distinctly separated from the face, anterior 
border concave-emarginate ; antennae half the length of the body, 
basal four joints cylindrical, following joints compressed, feebly 
dilated. Thorax transverse, sides margined. Scutellum subovate. 
Elytra much wider than the thorax, subquadrate-ovate, very convex, 
regularly punctate-striate, shoulders prominent. Legs robust ; 
femora incrassate, anterior and posterior femora dentate ; inter- 
mediate and posterior tibiae emarginate at their apices; claws 
appendiculate. Prosternum transverse, subquadrate ; anterior 
margin of thoracic episternum convex. Mesosternum short, 
transverse. 
The transverse prosternum and appendiculate claws characterize 
this genus ; the shape of the thoracic episternum distinguishes it 
from Pagrici.

Piceous beneath ; above obscure ful vo-aeneous. 
Head sparingly punctured on the vertex, the lower portion 
strongly strigose or covered with highly raised oblique rugosities, 
the space in front of the eyes bounded by an oblique ridge, another 
less distinctly marked ridge is placed on the middle of the vertex : 
clypeus separated from the face by a transverse groove, from the 
middle of which another deep longitudinal groove extends upwards 
for some distance, dividing the rugose space between the eyes ; 
antennae dark fulvous or with the apical joints darker, the latter 
distinctly thickened, the third joint a little longer than the fourth. 
Thorax about half as broad again as long, the sides very slightly
