This species appears to me to be very distinct 

 from M. anmdata : the head of the acideates is 

 rounder, and truncate before. The spots of the 

 front, instead of being close to the eyes, are sepa- 

 rated from them, and placed just below the base of 

 the antenna). All the tibiae are yellow at their base. 

 The scapus, also, of the antenuEe of the males is 

 shorter, and more conical.
