Of this curious genus there is only one Huropean repre- 
sentative. It may be easily known by its flat, somewhat 
parallel form, and its rough and hairy antenne and legs ; 
the elytra as a rule are not fully developed, and in the un- 
developed form the pronotum is nearly parallel sided, in 
the developed form it is distinctly widened posteriorly ; the 
antenniferous tubercles are scarcely noticeable, and the 
second joint of the antenne gradually, but very slightly 
tapers from the base to the apex ; the apical joint is scarcely 
thicker than the preceding. 
M. miriformis, /all.—Of a greenish ochreous colour, 
more or less marked with brown, or in some undeveloped 
females bright green when alive, with red markings. Head 
with the eyes slightly prominent in the ?, more distinctly 
so in the ¢ ; central lobe of the face longer than the checks, 
antenne rough, clothed with erect short hairs ; pronotum 
with the sides slightly raised, straight, posterior angles 
slightly rounded, base nearly straight ; disc punctured and 
clothed with short hairs, ochreous or greenish with a pale 
raised dorsal line and often a brown streak on each side ; 
elytra subhyaline, the nerves strong and red; membrane 
hyaline ; in the undeveloped form the elytra are only about 
twice as long as the scutellum ; abdomen above ochreous or 
green, generally with a central black or red stripe inter- 
rupted in the middle, but this stripe is sometimes absent 
in the @; beneath and legs ochreous or greenish, the latter 
rough and clothed with erect hairs.
