1 A. The eyes granulated ; posterior corners of the pronotum with short 
dorsal ridge ; hind feet not longer than tibiz ; hairy covering of antennz 
the same in both sexes (M. niger, M. brunnipes). B. Eyes smooth, the 
ridge on the hind corners of pronotum continued forwards along the sides; 
hind feet longer than tibia: ; antenne of male woolly underneath (J. cas- 
tantpes). Prof. Schiddte does not admit Cratonychus rufipes, Erichs. 
(Germar, Zeits. ili. 96. 8) as a species distinct from M. castanipes, Payk., 
and states that EH. bicolor, Fabr., is a very different, southern species.
