The clypeus of the male is like that of A. analis, and indeed 

 there is such a general resemblance that were it not for some 

 important differences I should have looked upon it as one of the 

 many varieties of that species. The points of difference are the 

 head and clypeus are more finely and the elytra more rugosely 

 punctured, the under surface, which is entirely black, is more 

 densely clothed with white hair, particularly on the sides of the 

 abdominal segments, and the mesosternal process is less acutely 

 pointed and is punctured to the very apex. 



Considerable variety as to colour seems to exist in this species, 

 the luteus colour of the thorax passing in some specimens into a 

 brassy green.

^neo-viridis nitidissimus clypeo testaceo subtiliter punctato 

 brevi late reflexo, elytris pallide testaceis subnitidis rugose 

 productis, pedibus rufis tarsis viridi-nigris, corpore subtus 

 viridi-nigro nitido albido-piloso, mesosterno subrufo elon- 

 gate acuto Isevi, pygidio purpureo-rufo apice barbate lateri- 

 bus punctatis subacuductis. 

 The form of the clypeus in the male is very distinct in this 

 species, it is of a testaceous colour, and though not pi'oduced so 

 much as in the last species, is largely reflexed in front at a right 

 angle to the base. The head, thorax, and scutellum are of a 

 brilliant golden green, the elytra are of a dull pale testaceous colour 

 and rugosely punctate, and the pygidium is acuducted on the 

 sides.

 tarsis viridi-nigris, corpore subtus viridi-nigro albido-piloso, 

 mesosterno triangulariter elongato subacute, pygidio viridi- 

 aureo nitidissimo apice subbarbato.
