and colour, aud possess little in common except a closely punc- 

 tured upper surface, costate elytra, short clypeus and very short 

 sternal process. 



The male is shining green, blue-green, fiery-red, or purple above 

 and beneath. The body is short, compact and moderately de- 

 pressed. The clypevs is much shorter than it is broad, quadrate, 

 finely rugosely punctured, with the front margin straight, strongly 

 reflexed and not toothed or notched, and the forehead without 

 a distinct carina. The 'pronoHnn is strongly punctured all over, 

 moderately narrowed in front and siniiated at the sides beyond 

 the middle. The scutelhim is sparingly punctured. The elytra 

 are coarsely and closely punctured in ro«s \\hich enclose two 

 costa* upon the disc of each, only the punctures towards the sides 

 and apices being irregular. The pygidium is rugose. The sternal 

 process is narrow, but very short and blunt. The metasternum is 

 thinly punctured at the sides and broadly furrowed at the middle, 

 and the ahdouten is barely punctured aud neither channelled nor 

 arched beneath. The front tihiie are unarmed, and the middle 

 and hind tibia' moderately fringed. 



The female is black, or brownish black, scarcely shining, elon- 

 gate, nearly parallel-sided, and more convex than the male. The 

 puncturation is similar, but that of the elytra shallower and less 

 distinct. The head is more coarsely rugose, with a posterior 

 carina terminating abruptly in front but scarcely produced. The 

 front margin is a little produced upwards in the middle, the 

 process generally ending in two teeth. The prothorax is almost 

 semicircular in shape. All the tarsi, especially those of the hind 

 legs, are very short, the front tibicn are broad and bidentate, and 

 the hind tVme are very scantily fringed at the inner edge.

The body is moderately elongate, not much depressed, and 

 rather strongly and uniformly punctured above. The head is 

 rugosely punctured, with tlie clypeus rather broader than it is 

 long and the front margin prominent in the middle. The 

 prothorax is coarsely and closely punctured, with the interstices 

 extremely finely punctulated. The scittelhnu is punctured, excepr 

 along the middle line, and the elytra rugosely punctured, some of 

 the punctures forming double rows. T\w pygidimn is transversely 

 rugose, the ruetasternma smooth in the middle and coarsely 

 punctured at the sides, and the ahdomea finely punctured. The 

 sternal process is short but rather sharj).
