 red, the pygidium with a pale greenish lustre, and the lateral 

 margins of the pi-othorax having a narrow patch of a deep violet

 convex. The head, pronotum and scutellum are extremely smooth, 

 with scarcely perceptible punctures ; the clypeus is broad, nar- 

 rowed slightly to the front margin, which is nearly straight and 

 gently reftexed, and the clypeal suture is well-marked and nearly 

 straight. The pronotum is broad at the base and strongly nar- 

 rowed to the front, with the sides scarcely curved but feebly 

 angulated before the middle, the front angles very acute, the hind 

 angles almost right angles, the base rather prominent in the 

 middle and not margined. The elytra are smooth and very 

 minutely punctured, some of the punctures forming double rows 

 upon the outer part; tlie outer margins are slightly flattened 

 behind the shoulders for less than one-third of their length. The 

 pygidium is extremely smooth and glossy and conically pro- 

 tuberant before the extremity, and there are a very few erect 

 hairs in its hinder part. The mesosternal process is slender, 

 strongly curved and acute. The mesosternum is closely punc- 

 tured and shortly pubescent at the sides, and smooth in the 

 middle ; the abdomen is smooth, with scanty pubescence at 

 the sides. The front tibia is bideiitate, and the longer claw 

 of the front and middle feet cleft. The antennal club is long 

 in both sexes.
