  GROUP 
  X. 
  

  

  Moderate-sized, 
  subcylindrical, 
  but 
  somewhat 
  robust 
  species, 
  with 
  sericeous 
  surface 
  

   rarely 
  with 
  any 
  metallic 
  gloss. 
  Head 
  glabrous, 
  striate 
  each 
  side. 
  Labrum 
  short 
  with 
  

   one 
  prominent, 
  and 
  two 
  obsolete 
  teeth. 
  Palpi 
  pale 
  with 
  darker 
  tips 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  or 
  in 
  

   both 
  sexes. 
  Thorax 
  quadrate, 
  rounded, 
  or 
  subcylindrical, 
  hairy 
  on 
  the 
  sides. 
  Elytra 
  

   not 
  serrate, 
  conjointly 
  rounded 
  in 
  the 
  male, 
  with 
  the 
  suture 
  slightly 
  retracted 
  in 
  the 
  fe- 
  

   male. 
  The 
  medial 
  band 
  is 
  oblique, 
  and 
  long: 
  the 
  humeral 
  lunule 
  is 
  also 
  prolonged: 
  these 
  

   markings 
  are 
  frequently 
  connected 
  by 
  a 
  broad 
  white 
  marginal 
  band, 
  but 
  the 
  white 
  is 
  se- 
  

   parated 
  from 
  the 
  outer 
  edge 
  by 
  a 
  stripe 
  of 
  black, 
  which 
  is 
  quite 
  conspicuous. 
  From 
  this 
  

   it 
  results, 
  that 
  in 
  the 
  varieties 
  with 
  obsolete 
  markings 
  the 
  medial 
  band 
  does 
  not 
  reach 
  the 
  

   margin 
  as 
  usual. 
  The 
  under 
  surface 
  is 
  metallic 
  green, 
  slightly 
  hairy 
  on 
  the 
  sides; 
  the 
  

   anus 
  is 
  black 
  : 
  the 
  tibia? 
  are 
  usually 
  testaceous 
  at 
  base. 
  

  

  The 
  middle 
  tooth 
  of 
  the 
  mandibles 
  is 
  smaller 
  than 
  the 
  others, 
  though 
  not 
  so 
  conspicu- 
  

   ously 
  so 
  as
