Form elongate, slender, and moderately convex; head aureo-cup- 

 reous; pronotum and elytra cupreous, with a slight aeneous tinge 

 and ornated with numerous cinereous pubescent spots ; beneath cup- 

 reous, with a strong aeneous or purpureous tinge, more shining than

Head feebly and evenly convex, without depressions, but with an 

 obsolete longitudinal carina on the occiput; front with the sides 

 obliquely converging to the vertex; surface nearly glabrous, deeply 

 and rather densely punctate, the punctures not quite as coarse but 

 more irregularly placed than in alhonotata; intervals smooth; epis-

 angles of the emargination acutely rounded. Pronotum one and 

 two-fifth times as wide as long, slightly narrower in front than 

 behind; sides feebly obliquely expanded from anterior margin to 

 apical fourth, then nearly parallel to the posterior angles, which are 

 nearly rectangular; anterior margin nearly truncate, with an obso-

 sulcate at middle, with a deep ante-scutellar fovea, and four densely 

 punctured impressions, two at the base and two in front of the 

 middle, forming a transverse quadrangle, the basal ones more deeply,

 rather densely punctured, the punctures more remote on the post-
