the tips of the other tarsi, and the anterior tibiae at the apex, flavo- 

 fcestaceous, the knees rufescent. Head rather small, as long as 

 broad, convex, rapidly narrowed behind the moderately large eyea, 



sparsely, minutely punctate, with a short, deep occipital gTOOVe; 

 terminal joint of the maxillary palpi comparatively short, securi- 

 form; antennae very slender, rather short, joints 9-11 thickened, 

 11 about as long as 9 and 10 united, the latter elongate-triangular. 

 Prothorax oblong-oval, convex, attenuate in front, slightly wider 

 than the head, feebly, obliquely compressed on the flanks posteriorly, 

 densely, roughly punctate, the basal groove deep. Elytra moderately 

 long, much wider than the prothorax, very gradually narrowed from 

 the base, closely, finely punctate, conspicuously striato-punctate 

 to near the apex, the interstices subeostatc externally. Legs rather 

 stout; basal joint of anterior tarsi much thickened, that of the 

 posterior pair arcuate.

One specimen. Very like M. nigerrima, differing from 

 it in the much smoother, shorter head, the larger eyes, the 

 flavo-testaceous, shorter, very slender antennae, with the 

 last three joints thickened, the shorter, pallid maxillary 

 palpi, the conspicuously striate elytra, the pallid anterior 

 tarsi, etc.

cj. Very elongate, robust, rather narrow, subopaque (till denuded), 

 the head shining, thickly clothed with adpressed yellowish hairs, the 

 head and antennae with scattered, erect or projecting, bristly hairs, 

 the hind angles of the prothorax with a single long seta; brown or 

 reddish brown, the head and the apex of the elytra rufescent, the 

 antennae, palpi, mouth-parts, and legs (the posterior pair in part 

 excepted) testaceous. Head long, obconic, at the base very little 

 wider than the neck, deeply sulcate down the middle posteriorly, 

 with a few minute widely scattered punctures (appearing almost 

 smooth when denuded); eyes very large, separated by about half 

 their own width; antennae very slender, long, joints ( .t II slightly 

 thickened, 11 nearly as long as 9 and 10 united, the latter scarcely 

 longer than 8. Prothorax very long, oval, about as wide as the 

 head, flattened on the disc, attenuate anteriorly, obliquely com- 

 pressed on the flanks posteriorly (appearing dilated at tin I 

 densely granulato-punct ate, i he basal groove deep. Elytra moder- 

 ately elongate, wider than the prothorax, very slightly narrowed
