near the posterior angles. Elytra piceo-rufous, with some very 

 indistinct black dots, of which the posterior series, consisting as in 

 M. \5-punctata of six spots, is most distinct ; the lateral margin from 

 the base to the point of greatest breadth is strongly flattened and 

 concave, and is blackish towards the middle. Beneath black]

Muls. Secur. p. 128 (typ. oblongo- guttata). 



Claws long, punctuation fine and sparse, surface alutaceous ; 

 thorax and elytra with the edges broadly reflexed but not (or 

 hardly) thickened. Mesosternum sinuate.

Europe, Siberia. The variety ramosa is analogous to Anatis 

 hebrcea. The Spanish varieties are more rounded and subhemi- 

 spherical, but do not substantially differ. It is generally common 

 on pine-trees. 



M. lignicolor from Brazil is probably a false locality.

Western States (Reiche). The dilated elytra seem to indi- 

 cate a new genus, to which both M. pullata aud M. Gerstiich- 

 eri may be referred. The margins of the elytra are less reflexed, 

 and visibly thickened ; the punctuation is very fine.
