52 HELOTA HELLER]. 
testaceous, slightly infuscated, the basal joint with a metallic 
green spot on the foreside; the extreme anterior angles of 
the pronotum pale brown, this colour somewhat conti- 
nued backward along the sides in the male specimen; 
each elytron provided with two small yellow spots which 
are situated between the 3rd and 6th striae. The colour of 
the underside is pale testaceous, with the exception of the 
head (without the throat), the extreme lateral margins of the 
prosternum, the lateral portions of the mesosternum and the 
elytral epipleurae which parts are metallic green with a 
golden hue; the apical third of the femora and the tibiae 
are metallic green, the latter with a testaceous spot on 
the innerside of the apical half; the tarsi are pitchy brown, 
the claws rufous. 
The head is strongly and densely punctured, more strongly 
in the male specimen than in the female one. 
The prothorax is of a trapezoidal shape, the lateral edges 
are crenulate, the uppersurface is rather densely punctured, 
with the exception of three impunctate triangular spots at 
the base and one or two more or less indistinct roundish 
small spots on the middle of the sides, The scutellum is 
transverse, glossy and impunctate. 
The elytra are subparallel, each of them has ten regular 
striae of punctures which become larger towards the sides; 
the interstices, which are impunctate, become costate on 
the apical portion; the yellow spots are placed between 
the 3rd and 6th striae. 
The underside of the head (with the exception of the 
impunctate throat) is distinctly punctured; on the proster- 
num the punctures are larger, nearly absent however along 
the middle; the elytral epipleurae are apparently impunctate ; 
the abdomen is finely punctured laterally, more distinctly 
in the male specimen than in the female one; the metallic 
portions of the legs are distinctly punctured. 
7. Elytra broadly and conjointly rounded at the end, 
minutely dehiscent and with a very small sutural tooth. 
Legs longer than in the Q; the anterior tibiae slightly
