This speeies ditTers in coloration from its allies: the well 

 marked specimens are therelbre easüy recognized. but the elytral 

 stripe varies greatly in intensily and is scarcely perceptible in 

 some instances. Whether M. ahdoniinalia Jae. is really distinet 

 from the present speeies or represenls only the unicoloroiis variety 

 1 am unable to say. as 1 have not now the type belbre me. 

 Hut my description speaks of tlie tibiae as being piceous and 

 the olvtra having a depression below the base. wbieh is not the 

 ease in the seven specimens belbre me.
