("oiivex, l)roailly oval, iiitid; aeneo-iii^cr, the h';j,s and 1st -joint of 

 antennae tlark rufous, remaining joints and the tarsi fulvo-castaneous; 

 with num lous elect, but not vi-ry elongate, infuscate or fulvisceiit si'tai', 

 and, I)esides these, more decundjent, fulvescent setae aie thickly dis- 

 tributed over the surface, the head included, and on the <.'lytra form 

 iriegular patches. 



Head distinctly punctate, less ch.isely oti the vei'tex. Thorax about 

 twice as long as broad, its sides straight but gradually narrowed 

 towards the acute, deiiressed, anterior angles; apex sinuate near the 

 sides, the ba.se slightly bisinuate, with rectangular but not acute angles; 

 it is moderately closely and finely, yet (|uite distinctly, but irregularly 

 punctured, rather more distantly near the centre. Scutellum triangular, 

 punctate. Elytra moderately finely but distinctly and very iriegnlarl\ 

 punctured, so that sonu.' spots appear smooth and glossy; the posterior 

 declivity is nearly smooth, oi);usely elevated along the sides to the ex- 

 tremity, ami at that part has a pair of foveiform depressions; towards 

 the sides some very obsolete l>road stiiae, with equally indefinite longi- 

 tudinal costae, may be seen. 



Femora deeply grooved underneath, so that the anterioi-, at the 

 extremity, seem to be armed with a frontal dentiform jo-ojt-etion ; tibiae 

 nearly straight, fringed with fine setae, grooved externally; .'iid tarsal 

 joints with elongate membranes. 



Antennae moderately elongate, basal joint thick, 2-.') elongate, Oth 

 longer than brf>ad, 7-10 successiv«'ly dilated, 11th elongate-conical. 



Underside .shining, with distinct fulvescent setas. 



This must be located in Section .*{, near /'. hri/nhiiix, iWCu], which, 

 however, is more viride.scent and .shining, with well-marked punctation 

 and very elongate outstaTiding setae.
