Note: Based on the diagnosis and description in Sharp (1876), and its geographic distribution, we suggest this specimen may correspond to a female of the species M. chloroticus . The common features are as follows: predominantly yellowish body colouration, head longer than wide, with parallel lateral margins and rounded posterior angles, prothorax longer than wide, sides parallel, anterior angles rounded, and elytra clearly wider and a little longer than thorax, very pale yellow, with micropunctures barely visible. However, we do not have enough evidence to undoubtedly classify it as conspecific.
