 striato-punctate. Legs long; tibiae straight.

A long series, showing no approach towards M. cruenti- 

 ceps or its near ally M. flavipes. The smaller, testaceo- 

 marginate prothorax, the sides of which are much less 

 constricted before the middle, the smoother head, and 

 the wholly testaceous legs readily distinguish M. monti- 

 vagus from M. cruenticeps. The variety with a pale 

 streak down the disc and a yellow apical spot to the elytra 

 approaches the Mexican M. luteolineatus, Pic, from which 

 it may be known by the more polished head, etc. The 

 genital armature is figured on Plate VII, figs. 49, 49a, b.

Three specimens from the Fry collection, one with the 

 posterior knees infuscate, doubtless belong to this species, 

 the types of which were from Jalapa. They have long, 

 closely striato-punctate, pale testaceous elytra, with the 

 sutural half more or less infuscate and a spot at the apex 

 yellow ; the head, except in front, and the disc of the pro- 

 thorax, piceous or reddish ; the basal joint of the antennae 

 testaceous. The head is large and much narrowed behind 

 the prominent eyes, and the prothorax is constricted and 

 much narrowed anteriorly. Length 4^ mm. This Mexican 

 insect is very like the European M.fasciatus, Schonh., but 

 differs from it in having the second joint of the antennae 

 more or less infuscate, the head and prothorax duller and 

 less distinctly punctate, the prothorax more strongly 

 sinuate at the sides before the middle, and the elytra more 

 elongate.
