Diagnosis. Very similar to M. bicolor. Differs in having flatter<br />
eyes, a more strongly arcuate rostrum, weakly impressed elytral striae,<br />
and minutely rugose elytral interstriae. Hamilton (1985) mentions<br />
differences in pronotal shape, but I am unable to detect valid differences<br />
in this character.<br />

Saskatchewan, south throughout the western United States, east to<br />
