stria punctate and ascending from the posterior part to two-thirds 

 of the length, while in the anterior part there are still some 

 ill-seriated punctures, epipleural fold smooth, divided from the 

 pseudepipleura by a carina which is not fiexuose as in M. grceni ; 

 sides of metathorax somewhat punctate ; anterior coxae and meta- 

 thoracic episterna strongly punctate ; metasternum with a fine 

 punctuation noticeable only behind ; posterior coxaB with a row of 

 deep punctures on their posterior edge, abdominal segments with 

 similar row of punctures along the suture ; anterior tibiae with four 

 small outer teeth the three apical ones of which are very marked.

'' Black, little shining, except at the apex of the costiform intervals 

 of the elytra ; head and clypeus very rugose, and with the anterior 

 emargination not deep, frontal carina still weaker than in M. tvest- 

 ivoodi, and almost reduced to a strong, transverse, smooth tubercle 

 extending slightly on the right and on the left ; prothorax broad, 

 convex, with the anterior declivity as equally rounded as in M. luest- 

 woodi, but the anterior angles project more and are nearly straight, 

 sides rounded, not sensibly sinuate in front, basal angles completely 

 rounded ; punctuation strong, dense, and somewhat confluent on 

 the disk, less strong, and less dense on the sides ; no ante-scutellary 

 depression (fossette) ; elytra with deep, smooth striae separated by 

 conspicuous intervals forming costae more or less undulate owing to 

 the irregular incisions on each side imparting to them a very rugose 

 appearance, pseudepipleural stria following the epipleural fold and 

 reaching nearly to the shoulder, pseudepipleura w^ith large, deep 

 punctures ; under side nearly smooth with the exception of the 

 episterna of the metathorax ; mentum, coxae, and anterior legs 

 hairy ; anterior tibiae with three moderately strong teeth.
