Head green, beneath black ; antennae, labrum, and palpi black ', 

 thorax impunctured, green, rather narrower than the elytra, 

 broadest in the middle, regularly arquated each side to the base, 

 posterior angles none, dorsal and basal lines distinct, the latter 

 dilated, orbicular, base not wider than the petiole ; elytra dark

 and elytra. The specimen I bought several years ago in New 

 York.
