 suture to the fourth stria, and continuing thus from the base to 

 beyond tlie middle, then narrowing rapidly to a point at the top 

 of the declivity.

Tiie central black stripe on the prothorax is continued on to 

 the liead as far as tlie base of the rostrum. The suture of the 

 elytra is clothed with pure green scaling from the base to the top

Faust was apparently of the opinion that the unusual structure 

 of the thorax in this species should exclude it from Myllocerus.

Colour black, with dense metallic green scaling above and below, 

 the prothorax with a central longitudinal black stripe. 



Head striolate beneatli the scaling and with a central fovea, 

 the forehead much broader than the interscrobal space, the eyes 

 lateral and prominent. Bostmm about as long as the head, 

 evidently broader than long, narrowed from the base to the middle 

 and thence dilated to the apex ; the upper surface broadly im- 

 pressed, the lateral carinae fairly strong, the central carina faint, 

 the apical emarglnation shallow and rounded. Antennce blackish, 

 the scape with a few greenish scales and recumbent pale setse; the 

 funicle with the two ba^jal joints equal, 3 equal to 4, and the 

 terminal joints longer than broad. FroOiorax transverse, the 

 sides gently rounded, the lateral constrictions indistinct, the basal 

 margin deeply bisinuate, not broader than the apical, which is 

 rounded dorsally and oblique at the sides ; the upper surface with 

 the punctation hidden by the scaling, the dark denuded central 

 stripe shagreened, a rounded impression on each side near the 

 base. Elytra separately rounded at the base, somewhat dilated 

 behind the middle ( $ ), the shoulders x-oundly rectangular ; the 

 stride rather broad, with shallow punctures and almost entirely 

 free from scaling ; the intervals almost plane, each with a single 

 row of very stout erect brownish bristles ; the green scales small, 

 circular, convex and closely set. Leys w ith dense green scales and 

 recumbent pale setae, all the femora with a single small tooth.
