D i a g n o s i s: Within the M. octonotata group, only in specimens of M. magdalena do we find the midelytral fascia fragmented into 4 punctiform components. D e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 5.3 mm ; width 2.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 144 . Color: Light castaneous, except each elytron with 6 black spots, 2 near the humeral angle and 4 near elytral middle. Head: Basal funicular antennomeres filiform, distal funicular antennomeres progressively shorter and more triangular, capitulum about as long as combined length of funicular antennomeres, capitular antennomeres 9 and 10 triangular ( Fig. 31 ), antennomere 11 globose; frons wider than width of eye ( EW /FW 20/35). Thorax: Pronotum (Fig. 67) quadrate ( PW /PL 83/83), side margin with well-developed tubercle, disc subglabrous at middle; elytral asetiferous punctation minute, striate to distal 2/3 rd ( EL /EW 250/60). Abdomen: Pygidium scutiform. V a r i a t i o n: Length 5.0-6.0 mm; width 2.0- 2.5 mm . Other than body size, the available beetles are quite homogeneous. N a t u r a l h i s t o r y: Specimens were collected during May, June, October, and November, some in a Malaise trap, at altitudes ranging from 1500 to 1700 m . E t y m o l o g y: The specific epithet, magdalena , constitutes a noun in apposition and refers to the type locality. D i s t r i b u t i o n ( Fig.96 ): This species is known only from Colombia .
