This species is quite unlike all the other species of the 

 genus known to me, and more resembles a Phanceus. It is 

 of a brilliant coppery colour, but in some lights has bright 

 green reflexions. The elytra have the stria? deep and rather 

 broad, impunctate, and of a brassy tint in some lights ; the 

 interstices are almost smooth, except towards the sides, where 

 they are more distinctly punctured. The posterior tarsi have 

 the basal joint a little more than twice as long as broad, sub- 

 parallel ; the second joint is very small, about one fifth the 

 length of the preceding ; and there is a minute point repre- 

 senting a third joint.

The head is rugose, except behind the frontal ridge, where 

 its punctuation is ralher fine but obscure ; the two teeth in 

 front are se[iarated by a nearly equilateral-triangular space,
