Body beneath dark green ; head green slightly varied with

 cupreous on the disk, rounded behind, lateral curve equal, hind 

 angles none, dorsal line distinct, basal ones profoundly impressed ; 

 elytra green opake, common disk to the fourth striae cupreous, 

 polished, striae acute, interstitial lines flat, third one with four

 preous ; feet testaceous at base. 



Length seven-twentieths of an inch. 



Head green, beneath black ; antennae, labrum, and palpi black ; 

 thorax impunctured, green, rather narrower than the elytra, 

 broadest in the middle, regularly arquated each side to the base, 

 posterior angles none, dorsal and basal lines distinct, the latter 

 dilated, orbicular, base not wider than the petiole ; elytra dark 

 cupreous slightly tinted with greenish, striae impunctured, inter- 

 stitial lines nearly flat ; pectus and postpectus black ; feet pice- 

 ous ; thighs testaceous at base ; venter black. 



Closely approximated to cnpripennis, but may be distinguished 

 by the color of the under part of the body, base of the thighs, 

 and elytra. The specimen I bought several years ago in New 

 York.
