sinuate, subreflexed, posterior angles are sharp right angles; 
above shining black, anterior half of disc smooth, finely and 
sparsely punctate, this smooth shining surface narrows along the 
middle line and extends a little beyond the middle, one or two 
deep punctures on this smooth surface; on each side of the middle 
line a deep depression with punctures in it,—this character is not 
marked in M. saundersi, Baly; posterior half of disc coarsely and 
deeply punctate; at the base in front is a depression, base itself 
transversely strigose, the sides of the base sharply cut off, a 
character not present in M. saundersz, Baly. 
Scutellum longer than broad at base, at a quarter of its 
length from the base it is bent, depressed in the middle, one or 
two transverse ridges on the surface near the apex, apex rounded. 
Elytra broader than the prothorax, elongate, subparellel in 
front, slightly dilated behind, extending considerably beyond the 
sides and apex of abdomen, their apex rounded, sutural angles 
armed with an acute tooth; surface subnitid; nine costae on 
each elytron, Ist an abbreviated one anastomosing with the 
sutural ridge, 2nd-5th run parallel to each other down the whole 
length of the elytron, 6th a short one terminates by breaking up 
into deep punctures, 7th runs down the whole length of the elytron, 
meeting the 5th at the apex, 8th short and similar to 6th, 9th 
runs down the whole length of the elytron; deep punctures between 
the costae, between the 5th and the 7th and between the 7th and 
the 9th confusedly and deeply punctate; these costae are thicker 
at their bases than at the apices, where there is a tendency to 
their being obliterated by the deep punctures. Margins of the 
elytra subreflexed. 
Underside shining, black; femora armed with a short flat- 
tened tooth, finely punctate. 
2 Antennae shorter, femora of fore legs not incrassate, last 
abdominal sternite with a semilunate depression. 
@ Antennae longer, femora of fore legs incrassate, last abdom- 
inal sternite without a semilunate depression.
