 thorax testaceous, the latter inclining to castaneous on tlie disk, 

 front angles depressed, acute, front margin arcuately excavate 

 not so deeply as in M. Doriae , sides very evenly sinuate 

 and narrowed at the front angles , basal sulci distinct con- 

 nected by a rather distinct, but not very deep submarginai 

 line ; hind margin a little raised. Elytra convex, shortly ovate, 

 distinctly punctured , suturai stria scarcely visible under a 

 strong glass.

 about as long as wide , and the 1 1 ."' about twice as long as 

 wide, these three forming a club which is equal in length to 

 the five preceeding joints. Thorax twice as long as wide , the 

 disk evenly not strongly convex, the margin only separated by 

 a fine line, scarcely narrowed behind. Sides of the thorax not 

 much rounded, and though narrowed to the front angles, not 

 very strongly or suddenly. Elytra oblong-ovate, very distinctly 

 clothed with a coppery pubescence which is most distinct, in the 

 apical half; the black patch leaves the base, the humeral callus, 

 the suture and margin and almost the apical half red , but 

 towards the apex there is usually a cloudy marking. Seven 

 striae are very lightly impressed , and there is an obsolete su-
