Hah. Humboldt Hay and Andai (Xew Guinea). 



Distinct from M. viridlpennin Baly and .)/. gracilis I)n\iv. by the costate elytra, 

 from the former al.so by theii- colour, the smaller size and fulvous femora, and from 

 M. gracilis by the fine inuictuation of the elytra; in one specimen (the sex of which 

 1 cannot determine, but which is probabh' a male) the elytra have no costa.
