The M. laticornis View in CoL group

This tentative group includes species that have the dorsal vestiture comprising only minute and very sparse setae, the procoxae contiguous (not separated by a distinct septum) and the mesoventrite usually anteriorly raised into a transverse bar with raised corners, on which the tip of the rostrum rests in repose. A similar condition, however, also occurs in some species of the M. maculatus group. The M. laticornis group encompasses species such as M. atronitens Lea, 1931 , M. compositus Lea, 1909 , M. corosus Boisduval, 1835 , M. laticornis Lea, 1913 , M. mediocris Lea, 1913 , M. persimilis Lea, 1909 , M. porosus Lea, 1899 , M. strabonus Lea, 1899 and M. vulgivagus Lea, 1899 . Hosts are known only for M. corosus .
