DESCRIBED BY 
C. RITSEMA Cz. 
Length 6-7 mm. — Of an ovate shape, anteriorly much 
narrower than posteriorly. Above shining, lighter or darker 
brown (head and thorax darkest), with a strong metallic 
green or coppery hue; the antennae pale fulvous. Body 
beneath blackish, punctured, the punctures bearing a short 
white more or less scale-like seta; the pygidium lighter 
or darker brown; the legs brown, with rows of white 
setae; the underside of the tarsi with white hairs. 
Head rather small, the face not densely covered with 
very distinct small punctures; the clypeus truncate ante-

turned upwards and almost inconspicuously emarginated in 
the middle, the punctures distinctly larger than those on 
the face and a trifle more closely set. 
Prothorax short, strongly transverse, much narrower 
anteriorly than at the base, broadest between the middle 
and the base (when seen from above), the anterior angles 
acute, slightly prominent, the posterior ones very obtuse, 
almost rounded. The punctuation on the pronotum agrees 
pretty well with that on the face; laterally, however, the 
punctures become somewhat larger and are closer together. 
The scutellum is broad, triangular, with broadly rounded 
tip; its punctures are minute and irregularly placed along 
the sides; the middle is impunctate. 
Elytra narrower at the base than at the end; they are
