Original description:
Mecostethus magister Rehn 1902 Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philad. 54: 631.

  Type, ♂.
  Japan. Dr. H. C. Wood.
  This species appears to be closely related to the North American M. lineatus (Scudder), but differs in the greater size, the more sharply defined and constricted frontal costa, the comparatively shorter wings, and in the carination of the ventral surface of the subgenital plate. No relationship appears to exist with the European Mecostethus grossus (Linn.).
  Head moderately prominent, the frontal costa forming a very marked angle at the junction with the fastigium; fastigium produced, the median and lateral carinae well marked, and all terminating at the narrowly truncate apex; frontal costa slightly expanding ventrad, sulcate throughout, the margins slightly constricted at the ocellus; eyes large, ovoid, moderately prominent; antennae depressed, very much longer than head and pronotum. Pronotum rugulose; cephalic margin truncate, caudal margin obtuse-angulate, lateral carinae apparent only on the cephalic margin of the prozona, median carina well developed, uniform, severed by the transverse sulcus which crosses slightly caudal to the middle; lateral lobes with the ventro-cephalic angle rounded, tegmina exceeding the caudal femora. Mesosternal lobes separated by a space subquadrate in outline; metasternal lobes very narrowly separated caudad. Subgenital plate strongly produced, the caudal portion subhastate in outline, bearing a marked longitudinally disposed carina on the ventral surface. Caudal femora slender, genicular lobes rounded; tibiae almost equaling the femora in length, bearing 12-13 spines on the margins.
  Color (specimen from spirits).- General tint dull grayish-brown, eyes, postocular streak and lateral lobes of the pronotum reddish-brown. Ulnar area and extremity of the tegmina blackish, this color also suffusing the genicular region of the caudal femora and tibiae as well as the distal extremities of the latter. Scapular area of the tegmina whitish.
  Measurements. Length of head and body 28.5 ㎜; Length of pronotum 6.5 ㎜; Length of tegmina 27 ㎜; Length of hind femora 19 ㎜.
