2 , Brilliant metallic green, in certain liglits above metallic blue ; 

 the space round the ocelli extending to the occiput, the median 

 area of the mesonotum, the middle of the scutellum and post- 

 scutellum, and the apical area of the 3rd segment metallic deep 

 purplish blue ; the discs of the abdominal segments are of a bluer 

 tint than the sides, on the basal two segments the sides at apex 

 have a bright greenish-golden spot; antenna3 brown, the scape and 

 basal two joints of the flagellum green above; the head, thorax 

 and abdomen more or less closely punctured, the punctures on 

 the head dense, rather small, on the postscutellum dense and large, 

 on both running into reticulations, on the pro- and mesonotum and 

 scutellum they are wider apart and irregular, the spaces between 

 the larger punctures with finer points, on the abdomen the 

 punctures are shallower, largest along the middle : facial cavity 

 very finely densely punctured, pubescent on the sides ; pilosity 

 very fine, short and rather sparse. Head a little broader than 

 the pronotum in front ; facial cavity somewhat deep, acutely 

 margined above by a transverse carina, from which are emitted 

 upwards two short cariuse, arching and nearly meeting above the 

 anterior ocellus ; antennae slender, the 2nd joint of the flagellum 

 longer than the 3rd; front and vertex convex, broad, occiput 

 slightly and very widely emarginate ; pronotum somewhat massive, 

 deeply impressed in the middle anteriorly, the sides margined ; 

 propleurje broad, excavate, mesonotum and scutellum slightly 

 convex ; mesopleura} slightly convex, the apex beneath acute, 

 slightly excavate and margined ; postscutellum from above semi- 

 circular, convex, not concealing the median segment w^hich is 

 vertical posteriorly, the lateral angles broadly produced, their apices 

 not acute ; A\'ings subfuscous, in certain lights iridescent, the radial 

 cell of fore wing nearly complete. Abdomen i-ather long, the base 

 transverse, with a somewhat deep medial and two broader and 

 less distinctly marked impressions ; 2nd segment not or very in- 

 distinctly medially longitudinally carinate ; 3rd segment slightly 

 transversely incrassate in front of the anteapical series, the foveie
