Differs from the descriptions of princeps and lucidus in its 

 entirely black upper surface (ineludinji- the sides), and almost 

 entirely black antennae and legs ; jn-inceps is also said to have 

 the elytral punctures " sparsim." those on the elytra of lucidus 

 are not mentioned, Init the s})eeie.s is said to have " cetera ut 

 M. princeps." On the present species the punctures are denser 

 than in tasmanieus, but siimewhat smaller ; and they are denser 

 than in crassus. On the type b^th antennae have the three
