Species Mordellistena liturata

Posterior tibiae with three parallel, oblique ridges and rudiment of fourth, which is well-marked in female, subapical not included; first segment of posterior tarsi with three and second with two ridges.... This species is rather easy to identify, after the ridges have been examined; it is pale and has three, somewhat oblique, pubescent markings on the elytra, although the latter are sometimes difficult to distinguish in old and greasy specimens. The middle markings vary somewhat in shape and size. In certain lights the elytra seem to be darker one-third from the base, and in such circumstances the markings are very well defined.
