marginal membrane of the elytra is narrow. The pygidium is 

 finely transversely strigose and bears a tew scattered hairs. The 

 boclv is more shining beneath, with a thin clothing of short hairs 

 at the sides of the metasternum. The legs are stout, the front 

 tibia armed with two sharp oblique teeth, the hind tibia broad, 

 and the longer claw of the front and middle feet cleft. 



tf. The pygidium is more densely sculptured and less shining, 

 with the pale markings less apparent than in the female. The 

 hind tibia is not dilated at the extremity. 



$ . The pygidium is rather shining, the front tibia blunt at the

Uniform dark coppery above and beneath, sometimes a little 

 more greenish below. 



Broadly oval, convex, smooth above and slightly shining, but 

 very finely and closely punctured ; more shining beneath, and 

 clothed at the sides with an extremely short pubescence. 

 The clypeus is finely rugose and nearly semicircular, with the 

 margin scarcely reflexed, and the forehead is densely punctured. 

 The pronotum, scutellum and elytra are similarly densely punc- 

 tured, the firet having the punctures still closer and confluent at 

 the sides, which are nearly straight in front, strongly rounded 

 behind the middle, with the hind angles almost rounded off, the 

 base being very gently trisinuate and not margined. The elytra 

 are without longitudinal lines of punctures, except a juxta- 

 sutural one, and the marginal membranes are very narrow. The 

 pygidium is transversely striolated,the inetasternum and abdomen 

 lightly punctured in the middle and rugose at the sides. The 

 inesosternum is riot produced, the front tibia is bidentate, the hind 

 tibia short and stout, and the larger claw of the front and middle 

 feet is cleft. 



d . The pygidium is entirely closely striolated, and the terminal 

 tooth of the front tibia is a little sharper than in the female. 



$ . The pygidium is closely striolated in the middle, more 

 coarsely at the sides, and in some specimens pale lateral markings 

 are visible.
