176 ENDELUS WEYERSI. 



with faint coppery tinges on the head, the thorax rather 

 dark bronzy at the sides, the elytra uniformly steelish 

 blue (often with tinges of green) , without otherwise colou- 

 red spots; the antennae and under surface of the body 

 bronzy black, the legs somewhat brighter. 



Head wide, slightly hollowed between the eyes which 

 are rounded , covered with some large very shallow punc- 

 tures or circles, glossy in one, opaque in the other sex. 



Prothorax strongly transverse; the frontmargin nearly 

 straight, the front angles slightly produced; the sides 

 rounded , slightly sinuate towards the base , and finely but 

 distinctly margined and crenulate ; the base deeply bisi- 

 nuate, the median lobe broadly truncate and inconspicu- 

 ously emarginate ; on the disk , at one third its length 

 from the front margin, a transverse keel is present which 

 does not extend to the lateral margins; the punctuation 

 (similar to that of the head) is very fine on the middle, 

 strono; on the sides and here more or less confluent. The 

 scutellum broadly triangular, impunctate, with acute apex. 



The elytra at the base distinctly broader than the base 

 of the thorax; the sides parallel till a little behind the 

 middle, then attenuated in a straight line towards the 

 apices which are conjointly rounded and very minutely 

 serrated; the lateral margins are narrowly thrown up ; the 

 shoulders are rounded and very prominent which gives 

 the elytra the appearance of being hollowed at the base 

 between the scutellum and the shoulders, and contracted 

 behind the shoulders; the elytra are uniformly and rather 

 densely covered with elongate shallow punctures , and show 

 along the sides some faint transverse wrinkles , which are 

 however more distinct on the contracted portion behind 

 the shoulders. The undersurface of the thorax shows very 

 fine transverse, that of the abdomen very fine longitudi- 

 nal lines.
