Var. notophihis, Blackb., T, R, S., S.A., 1900, p. 116. 



The colour of the elytra of this species varies from a 

 dull brassy-green to a rather deep blue. The males are 

 usually smaller than the females and have longer and 

 thinner antennae, the head, however, is but very little 

 wider ; frequently it has two feeble infuscate spots at the 

 base of the prothorax, otherwise the sexes (at least of the 

 common forms) do not differ in colour, 



I have a female (also from the Adelaide Museum as 

 were Mr, Blackburn's specimens) of the variety notophilus 

 which is still fast in cop. with a quite normal male ; and 

 there is another specimen in the National Museum from 

 Queensland,
