Head distantly punctured, epistome much broader than long, 

 sides rounded and converging backwards, apical* border obso- 

 lete, middle portion of the anterior margin broadly subangulate- 

 emarginate, surface more coarsely and closely punctured than 

 the front ; antennae filiform, six outer joints black. Thorax 

 nearly three times as broad as long ; sides nearly straiglit and 

 parallel at the base, thence obliquely rounded and converging to 

 the apex ; above transversely convex, sides strongly deflexed in 

 front, surface coarsely and irregularly punctured, the coarser 

 punctures being intermixed with finer impressions. Elytra 

 broadly oblong, convex, obsoletely excavated below the basilar 

 space, coarsely punctured, the punctures in egularly arranged in 

 numerous longitudinal rows ; towards the apex the interspaces 

 near the suture and on the outer border are very slightly 

 thickened and form indistinct costas ; two broad metallic-green 

 transverse bands, placed one at the base, the other just below the 

 middle of the disk. Thighs simple.
