Agreeing with M. flindersi, White, in all features of structural 

 importance, but very distinct by its form more robust and convex; 

 prothorax shorter, more cordate, more convex, the base truncate 

 on each side with rectangular angles (the basal angles not pro- 

 duced backwards and acutely prominent), a large wide concave 

 depression near each basal angle (the lateral basal part of the 

 prothorax not depressed and exj^lanate), the lateral border and 

 channel continued past the basal angle for a little distance on to 

 the base ; elytra wider, more oval, more convex, sides narrowed 

 to the rounded humeral angles, base not nearly so much wider 

 than the base of the prothorax, reflexed carina of the lateral 

 border extending further backwards from the shoulders, margin 

 hardly interrupted behind it, and much wider than in M.Jiindersi, 

 lateral channel much wider and not interrupted at the posterior 

 extremity of the reflexed part of the border, posterior trochanters 

 in the $ stouter, shorter, with stouter and shorter apical hook.
