This species is shorter and broader than M. me/anopus from Assam. It is very glossy. My figure 
and the following notes are made from M. Gory’s typical specimens communicated by the late Dr. Schaum. 
The head beneath, with the maxilla and palpi, are dark luteous, the mentum yellow; the hind part of the head 
is dark brown; the coxe of the fore legs yellow; the deflexed anterior angles of the pronotum have a black 
border ; the front of the mesosternum is flat, perpendicular, and fulvous; the posterior angles of the epimera 
are deflexed and yellow coloured ; the third and fourth segments of the abdomen are dark blood red ; the second 
and fifth have a small ferruginous patch in the middle of each. The male has the three basal segments of the 
abdomen marked with an oval longitudinal impression. The pygidium is black, with a raised tricuspidate 
space, having a sharp longitudinal central carina. 
There is a variety of this species in the British Museum, collected in India by Colonel Whithill, nearly 
9 lines long, black, with the lateral margins of the pronotum yellow, with a black spot ; the head and anterior 
cox yellow; the exposed part of the posterior coxie pale yellow; the abdomen black, with a red central vitta, 
and the middle segments with a blood-red spot on each side.

The antennz are chestnut, with the club fulvous. The under side of the head is black; the mentum is 
yellow, strongly angulated in the middle, the anterior portion being obliquely truncate and broadly ovate in 
form. The disc of the pronotum is nearly smooth, but the sides are rather thickly punctate; the anterior and 
posterior margins are narrowly black, and on each side of the middle is a black longitudinal mark, the anterior 
half narrow, but forming a lozenge-shaped spot united behind to a large nearly rounded spot: there is also a 
small round spot in front of the middle of each side. The dise of the elytra is sparingly punctate, but the sides 
more thickly, the punctures being more transverse. The apex of each elytron is finely transversely punctate- 
striate, being separated from the dise by a sharply defined curved impression. The terminal hook of the max- 
ille is very acute, slender, and arched, the teeth of the inner lobe being short and robust. The mesosternum 
forms a nearly globose tubercle slightly advanced between the base of the middle legs. 
The abdomen in the male has the basal segments longitudinally impressed.
