I know of no other species with which to coniparc the 

 present oue, the short snbquadrate shape, the equally short 

 antennae and the numerous elytra costae will help in its 

 recoguitiou, the male does not seem to differ exccpt iu the 

 slightly less strongly raised costae of the elytra; there are 

 four specimens conlaiued in my collectiou of which three 

 reprcseut the briglit metallic aureous form und tiic »»liier
