It is a narrowly elongate insect, with the prothorax only 
a little broader than it is long, the elytra tapermg and the 
upper surface rather strongly punctured, especially the 
head and pronotum. The elytra are ornamented with 
two red fasciae rather remote from one another, the anterior 
one extending in an oblique curve from the outer margin 
to near the suture and reaching the base just within the 
humeral angle, which is black, the posterior one scarcely 
interrupted at the suture, arched behind and produced 
in front into three points upon each elytron. The antennae 
are slender, extending backwards beyond the base of the 
pronotum, with a very loosely articulated club. The 
prosternum is rather strongly, but not closely, punctured 
and the metasternum is almost smooth in the middle and 
rather scantily punctured at the sides. This species is 
very close to M. elongata Guér., Java (wrongly attributed 
to Burma in Kuhnt’s catalogue), but of narrower form, 
more convex and less shining. The width of the prothorax 
is much less than half as much again as its length (that 
attributed by Lacordaire to Guérin’s species). The 
pattern and the puncturation are almost identical with 
those of MW. elongata.

This closely resembles M. vitalisi and the red elytral 
pattern is identical, except that the humeral lunule sends 
two extensions instead of one to the base of the elytron, 
leaving a small black. dot between. It is a little larger, 
more oval in shape and rather more opaque above, ‘the
