Bright and shining, rich blue both above and below, the 
elytra violet-blue. Head very faintly and sparingly punc- 
tate; thorax a little more strongly punctate, but still very 
sparingly, a little more thickly in front, and almost im- 
punctate on the posterior part of the disk; posterior angles 
nearly right-angled, basal lobe emarginate. Scutellum im- 
punctate. Elytra sparingly and finely punctate, the punc- 
tures arranged somewhat longitudinally ; shoulders rather 
prominent, an irregular depression inside of them; suture 
depressed, and with a fine line along it, and denticulate at the 
apex, about seven to nine denticuli fringing the rounded. 
apex of the elytra. Underside finely transversely rugose,

One specimen. 
Notwithstanding the great authority of Prof. Lacordaire, I 
cannot bring myself to merge the old genus Chrysodema with 
the typical Chalcophora, and therefore still keep Palisot de 
Beauvois’s C. chrysochlora under the former genus.
