The well defined seven areolw of the prothorax together with 
the remarkable SUN sculpture render this species eas 
recognise. It does not appear to fall into aay of the subgenera 
that Mr. Watcmousr has formed at the expense of M 
Each longitudinal costa on the elytra is connected with that next 
to it by a regular series of perfectly transverse short costze of i 
same elevation as the longitudinal costi, and there is no trac 
whatever of intermediate longitudinal lines. Mr. Wa use 
would perhaps place this insect in his genus Aylobanus.

Rather closely allied to M. monticola, Blackb., and margini- 
pennis, Lea; from the former it differs inter alia by the much 
less coarse sculpture of the intervals between the elytral costæ ; 
from the latter by inter alia the discoidal costæ of the elytra 
being similar inter se and the structure of the antenne. r 
is evidently something wrong in the numbering of the joints in 
the description of the antennæ of marginipennis of which it is
