stria 7 at a half, and contracts to stria 9 at two-thirds ; the 

 green colour, pointed at extremity, does not quite reach 

 apex, and the line of junction of the two colours is a little 

 jagged throughout. 



Underside coarsely but sparsely punctate, ventral surface 

 smooth. 



Larger than 0. brettinghama, Pasc, similar in outline, 

 but much less convex, a bluer green in colour, testaceous 

 border on both prothorax and elytra much wider, the line 

 where the colours meet on the elytra much less regular, 

 stripe less evanescent towards apex.

 bisinuate on each side, median projection forming an obtuse 

 angle, former emarginate on each side behind eyes, all angles 

 acute, width gradually increasing from apex to base, sides 

 slightly rounded in front and faintly sinuate before hind 

 angles; surface coarsely shagreened, smoother at sides, lon- 

 gitudinally striate along base, middle of base flattened and
