Megalostylus tomentosus Champion 1911

Oblong, piceous, the deciduous mandibles and legs ferruginous; densely clothed above and beneath with metallic golden-green scales, and also thickly clothed with long, pallid, erect hairs. Rostrum broadly excavate from the apex to near the eyes, the latter rounded, convex, and very prominent in ♂; antennæ with the scape greatly thickened towards the apex and extending to beyond the eyes in ♂, shorter and more slender in ♀, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length. Prothorax transverse, conical, feebly bisinuate at the base, the hind angles acute. Scutellum triangular. Elytra considerably wider at the base than the prothorax, gradually narrowing from the shoulders in ♂, subparallel in their basal half in ♀, finely punctate-striate, the interstices flat. First ventral segment broadly hollowed down the middle in ♂, the fifth flattened in both sexes.
 
Length 7—7 1/5, breadth 2½ millim. (♂ ♀.)

Hab.MEXICO, Yolotepec in Oaxaca (Sallé: ♂), Jalapa? (Höge: ♀).

One pair. This insect is very like the green forms of M. splendidus and M. albicans, but it is as hairy as M. sturmi. Possibly there is a cinereo-squamose variety of it?
