I have recognized this long lost species from a single specimen 

 collected by Mr. Herbert H. Smith at Cha|)ada in April. It measures 

 8 mm. in length, is very coarsely rugoso-punctate, almost entirely 

 blue, with only some slight metallic reflections, especially in the 

 coarse punctures on the head, mes()j)leura and coxpe, the knees and 

 tarsi white, ocelli red, the wings subfuscous, while the abdomen is 

 conic-ovate, finely chjsely punctate.

 a Clerid larva found in scrub pine. 



In the length of the metauotum and the long conical .se.ssile :d)- 

 domen, the species is quite unicpje in the genus.
