$. Elongate, widened posteriorly, shining; nigro-piceous, the 

 elytra brilliant greenish-aeneous, the elytral depressions and apex 

 golden-cupreous in certain lights, the antennae and legs rufo-piceous ; 

 the elytra with a few long, bristlj' hairs. Head sparsely, very finely 

 punctate, longitudinally depressed in the middle between the eyes, 

 the latter very large, somewhat narrowly separated; antennae 

 slender, joint 11 equalling 8-10 united. Prothorax a little wider 

 than the head, about as long as broad, moderately rounded at the 

 sides, constricted before the raised basal margin; closely, con- 

 spicuously punctate, shallowly, interruptedly sulcate down the 

 middle, and with an oblique depression on each side of the disc 

 posteriorly. Elytra long, widening to beyond the middle, twice as 

 broad as the prothorax, flattened on the disc below the base, and 

 longitudinally depressed within the humeri; extremely finely, 

 shallowly striato-punctate, the punctures becoming obsolete towards 

 the apex; the interstices flat, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 each with a scattered 

 series of small setigerous impressions, most of which are placed in 

 large, broad, shallow, coalescent foveae, the interspaces between 

 those on 7 and 9 carinate. Legs long and slender. 



Length 12|, breadth 3| mm. 



Hah. Colombia {ex coll. F. Bales). 



One specimen, agreeing well with Maklin's description, 

 so far as it goes. Kecognisable by the brilliantly metallic 

 uneven elytra, with interruptedly carinate seventh and 

 ninth interstices, the closely punctured, interruptedly sul- 

 cate prothorax, and slender limbs. The femora are probably 

 abraded.
