No indication of where the type was deposited in Péringuey’s original description.</p><p><b>Remarks.</b> Unfortunately we could not locate the holotype of this species, but according to Péringuey’s (1901: 301) original description, body size is 11 mm in length and 7.5 mm in width and it resembles <i>M. politulus</i> in size, shape, head, and punctuation of the pronotum. Péringuey (1901) mentioned that this species differs from <i>M. politulus</i> by bearing a more convex and rounded pronotum without any observed excavation antero-laterally. In addition, the species has even elytral intervals covered by finer and shallower punctures than <i>M. politulus</i>, costate and punctate striae. He also observed an unusual elytral shape in the specimen he studied and attributed this to a malformation.</p>
