fascia transversa post medium posita vittaque postica supra- 
marginali albis ornato. 
Dark metallic blue, moderately shining on the upper part, 
underside cyaneous ; labrum white, narrowly edged with black in 
the male, broadly in the female ; joints of antenn foliate from 
the fifth to the apical one ; head strigose; prothorax very narrow, 
cylindrical, nearly twice as long as broad, very slightly narrowed 
in front and behind, and finely plicate transversely ; elytra very 
narrow at the base, gradually ampliated from the base to two-thirds 
of the length, convex with the sutural part ending on each side in 
a spine, longer and sharper in the male, broadly and deeply pitted, 
with the punctures deeper in the interior part, and having on each 
side a white humeral narrow band, a discoidal transverse post- 
median band narrowed in the centre, and reaching from the outer 
margin to two-thirds of the width of the disk, and a supra- 
marginal narrow longitudinal band of the same colour, reaching 
from the rounding of the posterior part to the apex ; legs cyaneous, 
with the knees slightly reddish. Length, 124-13 ; width, 3-33 mm. 
In shape, size, colour, and sculpture this species 
resembles much IM. spectabilis, Pér.; the joints of the 
antennee in M. angusticollis are foliate from the fifth to 
the apical one, whereas in M. spectabilis only the 4th, 5th, 
and 6th joints are foliate ; the prothorax is still narrower 
than in the last-named species, and the punctures on the 
elytra are not so broad; the humeral white band is 
similar, but the posterior one is shorter, and does not 
unite with the transverse discoidal one,

Black, moderately shining, with a bluish tinge on the head and 
prothorax, elytra dark bronze ; labrum black, witha median yellow- 
ish white patch in the male, this patch being hardly distinct in the 
female ; head conspicuously plicate; prothorax cylindrical, longer 
than broad, distinctly constricted in front and behind, and trans- 
versely plicate ; elytra elongated, gradually ampliated from the base
