- Punctures on elytra in their cross-section comparable with those on head and pronotum; antennae and legs entirely reddish or with darkened apical part of antennae and femora. Female: ovipositor with developed styli 6 6 Pronotum subtrapezoid, with slightly arcuate and narrowly explanate sides: as widely explanate as narrowest antennomere; punctures on head and pronotum separated by about 1/3 puncture diameter; punctures on metasternum much larger than those on head and pronotum; protibia somewhat wider antennái club; antennái club subovoid: about 1 and 1/3 as long as wide. Male: protarsus about 2/3 as wide as protibia; metastenum deeply triangularly depressed in distal half. 1.8-2.4 mm. Tanzania M. (C.) vitabundus sp. n. - Pronotum with more arcuate and rather widely explanate sides: at least as widely explanate as scape; punctures on head and pronotum separated by half to one puncture diameter; punctures on metasternum more or less smaller than those on head and pronotum 7 7 Pronotum with most width at the middle and arcuately narrowed to posterior corners; protibia nearly 1.5 times as wide as antennái club; antenna! club elongate oval: about 1 and 2/3 as long as wide. Male: protarsus about half as wide as protibia; metastenum with a slight triangular depression in distal half; penis trunk narrower and with truncate apex. 1.8 mm. Kenya M. (C.) amicus sp. n. - Pronotum with most width at basal 1/4 or subparallelsided at basal half; protibia slightly wider than antennái club; antennái club subovoid: about 1 and 1/3 as long as wide. Male: metastenum a moderately deep longitudinal depression in distal half; penis trunk wider and widely rounded at apex. 1.7-2.1 mm. Republic of South Africa M. (C.) involutus sp. n. 8 Punctures on elytra about as large as eye facets and slightly elongate oval; punctures on pronotum and head slightly smaller, but interspaces broader and smoothed; pronotum narrower than elytra, widest at base and with translucent subexplanate sides; antennae and legs light reddish; dorsum with rather long and conspicuous hairs. Male: metastenum with a moderate triangular depression in distal half. 2.2-2.5 mm. Republic of South Africa M. (C.) voluptarius KIREJTSHUK, 1989 - Punctures on elytra markedly larger than eye facets and usually elongate or elongately fused; punctation on head and pronotum more frequently coarser; combination of other characters different 9
