smooth, each with a sutural and two dorsal costie sUghtly indicated 

 and minute scanty punctures in the intervals. The pygidium is 

 short and broad, witli a broad impression at the apex ; it is fiuely 

 punctured in the middle, and rather closely aud rugosely at the 

 sides. The metasteruum is strongly and closely punctured at 

 the sides, with very short, scanty and inconspicuous hairs, and 

 smooth and very tumid in the middle, where, together with the 

 mesosteruum, it forms a very broadly compressed laminar process, 

 semicircularly rounded in front. The front and middle legs are 

 moderately slender and the hind ones rather stont ; the front tibiae 

 are armed with two not very sharp teeth, and the longer claw of 

 the front and middle tarsi is cleft. 



Length, 17 mm. ; breadth, 9 mm.

Type in the Geneva Museum. 



I do not know the female, the description being drawn'from the 

 {S) type in the Geneva Museum. I am very sceptical of the 

 supposed locality of this specimen. An alhed species occurs in 

 the Malay Peninsula.

Deep golden green, \^ith the pygidium, lower surface and legs 

 (except the hind tibiae and the tarsi) generally paler. 



It is broadly oval, compact, convex and very shining, with 

 moderately sleuder legs. The clypeus is short, broad, rounded at 

 the sides and rugosely punctured, and the forehead is strongly 

 but separately punctured. The pronotum is short, rather 

 strongly aud evenly punctured, with the sides obtusely angulated 

 in the middle, the front angles acute, the hind angles obtuse, aud 

 the base not margined in the middle. The scutellum is strongly 

 punctured, and the elytra bear rather irregular rows of strongly 

 impressed punctures, with a very broad, closely and irregularly 

 punctured, subsutural interval ; the humeral and apical calli are 

 prominent aud the three striae betweeu the latter and the suture 

 are very deeply impressed posteriorly. The pygidium is strongly 

 punctured. The mesosteruum is produced, but short, blunt and 

 compressed, and the sides of the metasternum are closely punc- 

 tured and clothed with extremely fine and inconspicuous pale 

 pubescence. The tibiae are sleuder, the front pair armed with 

 two strong teeth, the hiud ones not inflated, nor dilated at the 

 end. The longer claw is cleft in the front and middle feet. 



(S . The terminal tooth of the front tibia is short and sharp, 

 and the pvgidium is more shining than in the female. 



$ , The terminal tooth of the front tibia forms a rounded Iobe»
