reddish testaceous, the club of the latter iuf uscate ; fourth 

 tarsal joint simple. 

 Length 3*5—4 mm. 



About the size of M. incultus, Slip., but very different by 

 the much smaller head and eyes, less strongly grooved 

 thorax, and the punctured impression on the elytra. 



Head, with eves, large, transverse, almost as broad as the 

 elytra; clypeal spines short, not very distinct; front en- 

 tirely occupied by a horseshoe-shaped impression, concave 

 backwards, the bottom coarsely and deeply punctured, the 

 smooth space enclosed by it carrying a curved row of three 

 punctures, concave forwards ; vertex with a fine, short, raised 

 line in the middle ; mandibles red. Antennae reddish testa- 

 ceous, the last two joints brown ; first joint concealed, 

 second moderately long and stout, third considerably longer 

 than second aud much more slender, fourth to sixth each a 

 little longer than broad, seventh as broad as long; eighth to 

 tenth transverse, the last of them much broader than the 

 ninth ; eleventh oval, pointed. Thorax widest at the middle, 

 its sides evenly rounded, about as long as broad, marked 

 with four more or less transverse furrows on each side ; the 

 first, impunctate, follows the anterior margin, disappearing 

 on the disc ; the second is deeper, with three large punctures 

 on either side and one on middle of the disc ; the third, also 

 deep and punctured, does not extend across the disc, but is 

 bounded by a large deep puncture on either side of the 

 middle line ; the fourth is narrow, follows the posterior 

 border of the thorax, is not interrupted, and is obscurely 

 punctured. Elytra as long as, but broader than, the thorax, 

 transverse; humeral callus well marked, as is also another 

 boss or callus at the base near the suture, base depressed 

 between the calli and with one or two small punctures. 

 External to the sutural callus is an impression containing a 

 group of three to five large punctures, and between this and 

 the posterior margin is a small puncture. Sutural stria 

 distinct, impunctate. Abdomen impunctate, each segment 

 except the last with a short narrow impression at the base ou 

 each side. 



No sexual differences observed.
