Black, shiny ; head and prothorax very closely punctate, the punctures 
nearly contiguous and somewhat rugose laterally on the prothorax, 
pubescence dense, black, frontal part with a plain, smooth line ; antennae 
bright yellow, with the two basal joints black, third joint not longer than 
the fourth ; black background of elytra plainly shagreened, the red bands 
deeply and irregularly punctate, but with the space between the punctures 
not rugose, the third costule is obliterated from near the median part ; 
there are two orange-red transverse bands reaching from side to side, and 
both slightly narrowed from the median dorsal part towards the outer 
margin, the posterior band is notched in the centre of the anterior border, 
and somewhat ampliated towards the centre in the posterior.

Black ; head and prothorax almost contiguously aciculate ; pubescence 
dense, black ; frontal part without any distinct traces of a longitudinal 
smooth line, antennae yellow with the two basal joints black, and the third 
not longer than the fourth ; elytra coriaceous except on the yellow bands, 
there is on each side a dorsal, either small or large basal pale yellow 
patch, a small lateral one, and two pale yellow bands ; the anterior one is 
either broader or slightly broader than the second, but both are very little 
sinuate, the edges being mostly always nearly straight. In general ap- 
pearance and coloration this species somewhat resembles small examples 
of M. oculata.
