1st joint, thick and clavate, 2nd short, 3rd longer, the rest

 Dark red, subnitid, coarsely punctate and clothed with black 

 hair. Head black. Thorax rounded at the anterior angles, and 

 square behind. Elytra deeply striato-punctate, and of a brownish 

 colour excepting on the sides and suture. Under side of body 

 piceous. Legs pale red. 



This is a very distinct genus, but I may be wrong in classing 

 it vith the Latjriidce.

 subsericeous pubescence. The legs and antennjB ai-e red. ^

 This species very much resembles M. Kreusleri King, it is 

 however a larger and more beautiful insect. The form is the 

 same, but the thorax is covered with a dense silky olive pube- 

 scence, and there is a large triangular patch of the same on the 

 elytra in the scutellar region, which interrupts the white sub-basal 

 fascia in the middle. The apex is also of a sericeous olive hue. 

 In all else it is the same as M. Kreusleri,
