MAC'ROXOTA. 47 



punctured and there are a few punctures upon the elytra. The 

 pale lines are striated in depressions of the surface. The margins 

 of the elytra are strongly sinuated behind the shoulders. The 

 abdomen is sharply keeled along the sides and the white bars 

 interrupted. 



The two sexes are almost alike, but the hind tarsi of the male 

 are a little longer than those of the female. 



Length 15-17 mm. ; breadth 8 mm.

c? . Black, witli the clypeus, antennae, legs and the greater part 

 of tlie elytra brick-red, and decorated with orange markings 

 disposed as follows: — two longitudinal vittse on the head; the 

 surface of the pronotum (with the exception of a bare elevated 

 ridge on each side beginning near the middle of the front margin 

 and terminating at the hind margin just before the angle, a spot 

 at the middle of the hind mai'gin and one before the middle of 

 each lateral margin); the base and apex of the scutellum ; the 

 margins of the mesosternal epimera ; a common V-shaped mark 

 at the middle of the elytral suture, produced along the latter to 

 near the apex, a transverse apical band and two lateral marks upon 

 each elytron ; the front angles of the pygidium and a large median 

 patch, most of the sternum and the posterior part of the abdo- 

 minal segments at the sides. 



The form is robust and not much attenuated behind. The leys 

 are rather long and stout, the front tibia} bidentate and the claws 

 large. The clypeus is broad, with its front margin strongly 

 reflexed and almost straight. The prothorax forms an almost 

 regular heptagon, the sides being strongly angulated in the 

 middle and neai'ly parallel behind, and the posterior lobe rather 

 strong. The elytra are gently sinuated behind the shoulders. 



This insect rather strongly resembles the female of M. quadri- 

 vittata, Schaum, but the form of the clypeus renders it a very 

 easily distinguished species.
