$ . Light metallic green, the thorax and abdomen where the 

 surface is rubbed coppery, antennae bro\^•n, the scape and basal 

 joint of the flagellum above green, legs green, tarsi brownish 

 yellow ; head, thorax (the postscutelhim excepted) and abdomen 

 minutely and very densely punctured ; on the head and thorax 

 the punctures run into reticulations giving a finely granulate 

 appearance to those parts, on the abdomen they are distinct, not 

 granulate ; postscutelhim with large shallow and serried punctures, 

 a few similar punctures mixed with the finer ones on the scutelluni 

 and mesonotum posteriorly ; facial cavity minutely punctured like 

 the rest of the head ; pilosity brownish yellow, long, soft and 

 abundant on the head and thorax, almost entirel}^ wanting on the 

 abdomen. Head broad, broader than the thorax, much broader 

 than long, strongly constricted anteriorly, occiput transverse, 

 vertex aod front broad, convex ; facial cavity nearly obsolete, the 

 face merely slightly depressed inwards towards a short medial 

 longitudinally impressed line ; nntenuce short, slender, Urd joint 

 of the flagellum the longest; clypeus slightly emarginate anteriorly ; 

 eyes very large and prominent. Thorax short and broad : the pro- 

 notum short, transverse, medially impressed in front, the sides 

 convergent anteriorly, propleurse slightly hollow, the mesonotum 

 nearly flat, the scutellum and postscutellum convex, with a some- 

 what steep slope posteriorly ; mesopleurae strongly convex, the 

 apex not acute, rounded, excavate, smooth and mai-gined by a sharp 

 carina ; produced posterior lateral angles of the median segment 

 small, very narrow, curved and acute at apex ; wings hyaline, 

 nervures light brown, teguloe green, i^bdomen proportionately 

 very broad at base, very conv(>x above, the sides very convergent 

 posteriorly, the apical margin entire, narrowly rounded, the extreme
