Head and thorax dark bronze, elytra velvety black, beneath me- 

 tallic blue, sides of metasternum brilliant cupreous, abdomen red ; 

 elytral markings consist of narrow white margin, slightly dilated at 

 the humerus and again behind it, median band reduced to a straight 

 oblique line, connected with the margin, apical lunule slightly pro- 

 longed in front. Head glabrous, finely striate above and in front; 

 labrum variable but longer than usual, with a very small tooth or 

 none ; thorax slightly narrowed behind, granulate, with a fringe of 

 hair on each side above; elytra velvety black, punctuation obscured, 

 a row of large green fovese near the suture and a few scattered in 

 the humeral region, tips conjointly rounded. Beneath, the palpi, 

 pleurie, coxse, sides of of abdomen and flanks of prothorax are 

 hairy. There are slight variations in the markings; the middle is 

 sometimes nearly transverse, the prolongation of the apical lunule is 

 sometimes detached, forming a discal dot, and is sometimes lacking ; 

 the marginal line is sometimes barely interrupted in front of the 

 apical lunule.
