 sides of metathorax somewhat punctate ; anterior coxae and meta- 

 thoracic episterna strongly punctate ; metasternum with a fine

" Black, little shining, except at the apex of the costiform intervals 

 of the elytra ; head and clypeus very rugose, and w4th the anterior 

 emargination not deep, frontal carina still weaker than in JSI. west- 

 woodi, and almost reduced to a strong, transverse, smooth tubercle 

 extending slightly on the right and on the left ; prothorax broad, 

 convex, wdth the anterior declivity as equally rounded as in M. iccst- 

 woodi, but the anterior angles project more and are nearly straight, 

 sides rounded, not sensibly sinuate in front, l^asal angles completely 

 rounded ; punctuation strong, dense, and somewhat confluent on 

 the disk, less strong, and less dense on the sides ; no ante-scutellary 

 depression (fossette) ; elytra with deep, smooth striae separated by 

 conspicuous intervals forming costie more or less undulate owing to 

 the irregular incisions on each side imparting to them a very rugose 

 appearance, pseudepipleural stria following the epipleural fold and 

 reaching nearly to the shoulder, pseudepipleura with large, deep 

 punctures ; under side nearly smooth with the exception of the 

 episterna of the metathorax ; mentum, coxge, and anterior legs 

 hairy; anterior tibiae .with three moderately strong teeth.
