tlie lower surface and femora orange-red, with a metallic <yveeu 

 suifusion, the tibiae and tarsi deep metallic green. 



It is shortly oval, very convex, closely punctured above and not 

 very shining. The clypeus is densely punctured, the forehead :i 

 httle less densely, the former being ratlier broad, straight in front 

 and rounded at the sides. The pronotum is finely and closelv 

 punctured, more coarsely and densely at the sides ; the latera"! 

 margins are strongly curv^ed, the front angles slightlv acute, and 

 the hmd angles well marked but obtuse. The scutellum is finely 

 but not closely punctured, and the elytra are rather closely punc- 

 tured, with somewhat larger punctures forming inconspicuous 

 longitudinal lines. The pygidium is densely granular and opaque 

 and clothed thinly with yellow hairs, which are closest a little 

 beyond the base and near the apes. The sides of the meta- 

 sternum and abdomen are more closely clothed with similar 

 han-s. The front tibia is bidentate, and the longer claw is cleft 

 upon the front and middle feet. 



d ■ The extremity of the front tibia is moderatelv sharp, and 

 the pygidium is rather more opaque than in the female.
