Clay-yellow, with a gi*een lustre most apparent upon the fore- 

 head, the disc of the pronotum, the scutellum, the furrows of the 

 elytra, and the legs and lower surface ; all the punctures pigmented 

 with black. 



The form is very elongate and depi-essed. The head is sparingly 

 punctured and strongly excavated, the eh/peus produced, with the 

 front margin gently bilobed and the sides strongly curved : the 

 forehead armed with a strong lobe, moderately slender and angular 

 at the end and free throughout its length, the excavation of the 

 head extending far back between the eyes. The prothorax and 

 scutellum are distinctly and regularly punctured, the sides of the 

 former strongly angulated at the middle and the posterior angle 

 almost produced. The elytra are very feebly sinuated behind the 

 shoulders, rather straight-sided and attenuated behind, with their 

 posterior margins rugose. The puncturation of the elytra, 

 pygidium and under surface are the same as in the pi-eceding 

 species.
