Coppery, with the pronotuni and pygidiuui generally dai'ker and 

 more green, their lateral margins, as well as the lower surface of 

 the body and the femora, yellow, the tibite and tarsi reddish 

 brown. 



Compactl}' oval, convex and moderately shining. The head 

 and clypeus are densely and rugosely punctured, the latter rather 

 small and broadly rounded in front, and the eyes large and 

 prominent. The pronotum is evenly and moderately strongly 

 punctured, its sides are rounded, with the front angles ratlier blunt, 

 the hind angles slightly obtuse but well marked, and the base 

 very gently trisinuate, with a margin defined in the middle 

 by irregular punctures, but not by a stx-ia. The scutellum bears 

 a few fine punctures. The elytra are strongly and closely 

 punctured, most of the punctures forming longitudinal rows, but 

 with a broad subsutural space which is irregularly punctured. 

 The pygidiuui is microscopically rugose. The metasternum is 

 densely punctured and thickly clothed with tawny hair, and the 

 abdomen is finely and sparingl}^ punctured, with a few setae only. 

 The n)esosternum is not produced. The front tibia is strongly 

 bidentate, and the larger claw of the front and middle tarsi cleft.

 the scutellum, elytra, hind tibiae, and all the tarsi mahogany-red 

 or brown. The pygidium is dark metallic green, with the exception 

 of tlie sides and apex, which are pale yellow. 



It is oval in shape, rather broad behind, moderately convex and 

 not very shining. The head is closely and very deeply punc- 

 tured, with the clypeus small and its front margin straight, the 

 eyes prominent but not very large. The pronotum is similarly 

 strongly and evenly punctured, with the sides regularly curved, 

 all the angles blunt and the base completely margined. The 

 scutellum is strongly but not closely punctured, and the elytra
