Deep metallic green above, usually coppery green beneatli, with 

 the antennae and legs red, the latter generally with a golden 

 lustre. 



It is oval, compact, moderately convex, shining above, with a 

 rather scanty clothing o£ decumbent yellowish hairs at the sides 

 beneath and rather long erect hairs upon the pygidium. The 

 clypeus is linely rugose, very small, short, nearly straight in front 

 and rounded at the sides ; the forehead is rugosely and the vertex 

 finely punctured. The pronotum is minutely punctured, the sides 

 obtusely angulated before the midtlle, scarcely i-ounded, the front 

 angles acute and the liind nearly right angles but not sharp ; the 

 base is trisinuate aud the marginal stria interrupted in the middle. 

 The scutellum is finely punctured, and the elytra rather finely 

 punctured in double lines, which outline two feebly elevated 

 dorsal costce ; the alternate intervals, especially the subsutural 

 one, are very wide and irregularly punctured. The pygidium is 

 rugose. The metasternum forms a sharp edge in front between 

 the middle coxae, but is not produced in front of them. The legs 

 are moderately long, the front tibiae bidentate, the hind tibiae not 

 inflated nor dilated at the end, and the longer claw of the front 

 and middle feet is cleft. 



6 . The antennal club is long, and the teeth of the front tibia 

 are rather sharp.

Bright metallic green, golden green or golden red, \^■ith the 

 elytra testaceous yellow, suffused with a metallic green or golden 

 lustre and with a dark greeu sutural line. The lower surface, 

 pygidium and legs are dark bronze or copper-coloured. 



It is a small insect, oval in shape, not A^ery convex, with mode- 

 rately long legs, and clothed with long, but not very dense, erect 

 yellowish hair, which is absent from the clypeus, scutellum and 

 elytra. The head is densely punctate-rugose and opaque, with 

 the eyes widely separated, and the clypeus broad and rectangular, 

 its front margin straight and strongly reflexed. The pronotum is 

 very shining, very irregularly and uuequally punctured, some of 

 the punctures being very coarse and others very fine ; its sides 

 are nearly straight and parallel behind, contracted and feebly
