BINGHAM ON THE [Mar. 17, pubescent; the basal segment about half the width of the 2nd 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 (Green coll.). Described from three specimens in my collection from various parts of Tenasserim and from two specimens in Mr. Green's collection. 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. From M. orientalis, Smith, found in Northern India, it differs considerably in size and coloration. Family SCOLIIDI, Leach. Genus SCOLIA, Fabricius. I.
