«Bright bluish green, with thorax aud sides of the elytra broadly goldeu. The 

 head punctate, punctures rather large but not closely set, two shallow impressions 

 between the eyes, and behind the impressions a well-marked median stria; the tho- 

 rax, sides arched, feebly bisinuous behind the neck, punctures less dense thau 

 those on the head, an indistinct linear spacc in the middle sometimes smooth, 

 scutellar fovea small but distinct and prolonged anteriorly as a stria; the scutel- 

 lum conspicuously uneven and impunctate, semicircular behind; the elytra punc- 

 tate-striate, the Striae nearest the suture being lightly punctulate, the latter 

 slightly rugose transversely, the apices are emarginate, leaving the outer aud su- 

 turai margins distinctly dentate. The under surface a bright green, with the 

 margins of the segments and tip of the abdomen blue». 



«The elytral Striae are less deeply impressed than in E. micans, F.; the api- 

 ces of the elytra agrée best with those of E. scutellaris, 01.; in the last the scu- 

 tellum is smooth». 



«Hab. Main island. I hâve an example from Atami and another from 

 Chichibu. There is a small spécimen in the British Museum from Nikko».
