 abdomen, leaving the connexivum exposed; coriura longer than the 

 scutellum ; orifices situated strongly, inwardly, near the inter- 

 mediate hips, and continued in a long linear furrow to the margins, 

 not elevated ; mesosternum with a distinct carination enlarged 

 before and behind ; legs with the anterior femora exhibiting before 

 the apex a small, somewhat obtuse spine, tibiae with a distinct 

 furrow ; abdomen beneath obtusely prominent at base, apical 

 angles of the segments not projecting." (ScJtouteden.)

" Entirely black, very uniformly bronzy, more or less brilliant 

 (the femora more so) ; corium, however, unpolished with the 

 exception of the subcostal vein ; the femora at base and above 

 inclining to piceous ; head exhibiting at bnse a small median 

 flavous spot close to the anterior margin of the pronotum ; head, 

 pronotum and scutellum densely (the head chiefly) reticulately 

 punctate ; the head at basal area does not, however, exhibit the

dense puncturation but only on the median line and on the lines 

 before the ocelli, between these and the eyes it is also nearly glossy ; 

 pronotum a little depressed sublaterally, the disk less densely 

 punctuate, the median line is also distinctly glossy, the posterior 

 angles form a projecting angle and are dentate ; the puncturation 

 of the corium is somewhat regular, more sparsely behind, a little 

 profound ; connexivum finely reticulately punctate ; the back of 

 the abdomen (seen laterally at least) is of a fine brilliant bluish- 

 green ; on the sternum the puncturation is sparse and strong, 

 excepting on the hips where it is more dense and less profound 

 and laterally to the prosternum and metasternum ; the furrow of 

 the orifices is directed obliquely in front after the middle of the
