 above, rather strongly shining: head feebly aeneous anteriorly, 

 becoming cupreous on vertex and occiput; pronotum and elytra 

 uniformly bright reddish cupreous, with a feeble aeneous tinge, 

 and each elytron ornamented with three pubescent spots; beneath 

 slightly more aeneous and shining than above. 



Head with the front rather wide, feebly convex, and distinctly 

 wider at top than at bottom, the lateral margins strongly, obliquely 

 expanded from bottom to top, with a broad, triangular depression 

 on vertex, and a narrow groove exending from it to near the epis- 

 toma ; surface coarsely, irregularly rugose, sparsely, coarsely punctate 

 between the rugae, and sparsely clothed with moderately long, re- 

 cumbent, whitish hairs; epistoma slightly transverse between the 

 antennae, and broadly, rather deeply, arcuately emarginate in front ; 

 antennae extending to about middle of pronotum, serrate from the 

 fifth joint, and the outer joints slightly wider than long; eyes rather 

 large, elongate, and equally rounded above and beneath. 



Pronotum slightly wider than long, feebly narrower at base than 

 apex, and widest near middle; sides feebly, arcuately rounded from 

 apical angles to behind middle, then more strongly narrowed to the
