Hab. Mussouri (Rothney). 



Antennae black, the scape with fulvous hairs ; the 

 flagellum almost bare. Head densely covered all over 

 with long fulvous hairs, being especially thick and long 

 on the face and vertex. Mandibles entirely black, coarsely 

 punctured at the base, where they have a few fulvous 

 hairs. Thorax thickly covered all over with long fulvous 

 hairs ; the mesonotum strongly and closely punctured. 

 Legs thickly covered all over with long pale hairs ; those

 the claws piceous. The wings are almost hyaline to the 

 end of the radial cellule, when they become fuscous ; the 

 tegulae black. Abdomen black ; the basal segment at the 

 apex thickly ; the second and third more narrowly fringed 

 with long fulvous hairs ; the apical segments with long 

 black hairs ; the ventral segments fringed at the apices 

 with long white hairs ; the apical broadly and roundly 

 incised. 



The anterior four coxae and the base of the femora are 

 strongly punctured ; the apex of the latter very smooth 

 and shining and with a piceous tinge. 



Comes near to M. lanata; but, apart from the difference 

 in coloration, the latter may be known from it by the 

 strongly rugosely punctured pleurae and sternum.
