keels ; side margins of the provofum and anterior margin of the flytra 
wide, with four rows of meshes, the circu inference of the former broadly- 
rounded anteriorly. 
In structure, marking, colour, and size, this species is very like 
M. ampUata, from which it differs in the following respects. The 
antennae are perceptibly thicker, and much shorter, the spines on the 
head 'longer and sharper, the side margins of the pronotum more 
rounded at the front, the curve being continued regularly to the hood 
(in ampliata the margin projects anteriorly in an obtuse angle, and then 
goes in an oblique straight line to the hood). 
Two specimens taken by Mr. "Wollaston, but the place and date of 
capture are not recorded.
