The only other described species, M. impressus, Montr. 

 [Coelostcrnus) , from New Caledonia, has, inter alia, nar- 

 rower elytra than the above, with the interstices of the 

 grooves flat and without the large scales. There are 

 other species in my collection from Java, Morty, Ceram, 

 Tondano, &c. Lacordaire in his definition of the genus, 

 asci'ibes an " elongate-oval " club to the female, and a 

 subcylindrical one to the male. I have only the latter 

 sex of M. impressus, but in M. Mastersi there is no such 

 difference.
