Length 2i lines.

 posteriorly, scarcely depressed below the liase, the latter strongly punctured in rows, 

 the interstices transversely rugose and longitudinally costate, also finely punctured, 

 those near the apex convex, a strongly raised costa runs from the shoulder downwards 

 towards the apex ; underside covered with short white pubescence, greenish, tarsi

Hah. Celebes. A single specimen. 



The uniform blue or greenish colour of this species and the finely punctured
