convex, with the lateral margins of the elytra distinctly flattened. 

 It is extremely brilliant above and only very thinly clothed with 

 short greyish hair beneath. The head is moderately large, 

 the eyes small and far apart, as seen from above, the clypeus 

 finely coriaceous, straight in front and rounded at the sides. The 

 pronotum is extremely smooth and shining, with exceedingly fine 

 scattered punctures, its sides gently rounded, the front angles 

 acutely produced and the hind angles slightly obtuse. There is a 

 deeply impressed marginal line at the base, and an imperfect 

 longitudinal median impression. The scutellum is finely punctured 

 and has an impressed marginal line. The elytra are rather feebly, 

 sometimes scarcely perceptibly, punctured, but generally exhibit 

 slight transverse wrinkles. The pygidium is very lightly or not 

 at all punctured, very smooth and shining, with a deep fovea in 

 the angle on each side. The mesosternum is not produced. The 

 legs are rather long, the front tibia bidentate, and the longer front 

 and middle claws cleft. 



6 . The teeth of the front tibia are short and sharp. 



2 . The teeth of the front tibia are very blunt.

Upper surface (with pygidium) entirely pale pea-green, with a 

 very faint pinkish lustre, minutely coriaceous and subopaque ; 

 the lower surface, legs and antennae shining reddish-testaceous. 



The body is elongate-oval and not very convex. The clypeus 

 and forehead are rather finely rugosely punctured, with the 

 clypeus rather broad and nearly straight in front. The pronotum 

 is finely and regularly punctured, the punctures being close and 

 subrugose at the sides and becoming very minute and inconspi- 

 cuous in the middle; the front angles are moderately sharp, and 

 the hind angles distinct but obtuse. The scutellum is scarcely 

 punctured, not very short. The elytra are very finely and evenly 

 punctured and have scarcely traceable impressed lines. The 

 pygidium is rather more strongly punctured. The metasternum is 

 smooth and shining in the middle, closely and finely punctured 

 and clothed with short grey pubescence at the sides, and the 

 abdomen bears fine scattered punctures. The prosternal process is 

 well developed and laminar, but is rounded behind and only slightly 

 produced forwards. The mesosternal process is short, but very 

 sharp. The front tibia is feebly bidentate and the hind tarsi are 

 rather thick.
