Golden-green. Beneath and legs with coppery reflections ; 

 antennae brown, tarsi coppery. Head finely punctured on 

 the vertex, excavated and shining between the eyes, with 

 a deeply-impressed, coppery median line, the sides of the 

 excavation sparsely pimctured. Thorax subrugose and 

 deeply punctured; dorsal line elevated, rather wide and 

 smooth (with a strong power it will be seen to be exceed- , 

 ingly finely punctured); near each hind angle is a round 

 fovea met by an obliqvie impressed line from the margin. 

 Elytra closely and finely punctured, subrugose on their 

 basal half, each with the suture and four lines raised ; of 

 these the second and fourth alone reach the apex, the first 

 and thu'd being abbreviated, the former about two-thirds 

 of the entire length of the elytra fi-om their base, the latter 

 just about the middle. Sides denticulate posteriorly, apex 

 ending in a single tooth. Beneath and legs finely punc- 

 tured. Prosternura, metasternum and first two segments 

 of abdomen in the middle largely punctured.
