This species is about the same size as M. Bertolini of 
Guérin-Méneville, but is less attenuated in the hind part 
of the elytra. It is obscure black, finely and closely 
punctured on the head and thorax; the latter is moderately 
convex, dilated at the sides, which are widest rather before 
the middle; the anterior and lateral margins are very 
slightly raised. The elytra are entirely clothed with dull 
luteous pile, except the suture and four cost on each, 
which are raised, black and glossy; the first of these 
costze extend to about two-thirds of the length of the 
elytra, the second, third and fourth are gradually longer, 
‘and are united together at their hind extremities. The 
legs are of moderate length, the anterior tibis terminate 
in a broad calear obtusely and obliquely truncate (fig. 1a). 
The outer apical angle of the tibiz is rounded off, the 
hind tibiz are curved, the outer apical angle being out- 
wardly produced. 
The underside of the abdomen in our specimens is 
destitute of hairs.
