the temples very slightlj- widened, behind the posterior angles

 closely punctured. Antennae with 2nd joint much shorter

 subequal, longer than broad, 7th to 10th longer than broad 

 gradually decreasing in length. Thorax a little longer than 

 broad, the sides straight, gradually narrowed behind, middle 

 of disc with fine, smooth, shining line throughout, the rest 

 similarly punctured to the head. Elytra wider and a little 

 longer than the thorax, slightly longer than broad, more 

 shining than the fore-parts, as finely but not so closely punc-

Entu'ely black, greasy-lustrous. Head finely and closely 

 punctured, thorax and elytra closely and finely granulate. 

 Antennas and legs reddish-brown. Length 6 mm. In build, 

 colour and lustre very similar to M. planatns Bernh., but the 

 head is a little larger, the puncturation not quite so close, 

 the thorax less narrowed behind with quire different sculpture, 

 the sculpture of the elytra is coarser, that of the abdomen 

 finer and less close and much less pubescent. Head sub- 

 quadrate, broader than the thorax, the posterior angles 

 rounded, the base truncate, the front broadly, feebly impressed, 

 finely and closely punctured. Antennas with 3rd joint twice 

 as long as 2nd, 4th to 7th longer than broad gradually 

 decreasing in length, 8th to 10th about as long as broad. 

 Thorax as long as broad, the sides straight, slightly narrowed 

 behind, anterior and posterior angles broadly rounded, in the 

 middle posteriorly with a fine short, sulcate median line, on 

 either side lightly impressed, closely covered with a moderately 

 fine, close, crateriform sculpture. Elytra broader arid a good 

 deal longer than the thorax, longer than broad, parallel and 

 similarly sculptured to the thorax. Abdomen closely and
