6) This variety differs from the typical Magnificus in the following points: 

 the black sutural spot on the apical green region of the elytra is absent; the 

 blue color of the 2nd and 4th bands of the elytra is replaced by a bluish 

 green, and the black band across the base of the elytra is narrower except 

 on the third interstice. In the smallest of the two specimens the second green 

 band of the elytra is almost entirely obliterated and replaced by black.
