Brilliant metallic green or golden-green above and beneath, 

 with the elytra non-metallic pea-green and not very shining, the 

 humeral and apical calli of each shining ruby-red. 



The body is moderately elongate, not very convex, and clothed 

 with short pale hairs at the sides beneath. The head, pronotum 

 and scutellum are not perceptibly punctured ; the clypeus broad 

 and transversely rectangular, with the margin strongly reflexed, 

 nearly straight in front, the angles rounded, the suture deep and 

 pitted on each side. The pronotum has the front angles a little 

 produced, the hind angles obtuse, and the posterior lobe broad 

 and truncate. The elytra are closely punctured and show well- 

 marked paired longitudinal lines, the outer margins being rather 

 broadly flattened from the shoulders to considerably beyond the 

 middle. The pygidium is finely rugose at the base and extreme 

 apex, and deeply impressed on each side. The mesosteruum is 

 smooth in the middle, and finely and densely punctured at the sides - r 

 the abdomen is irregularly punctured at the sides. The rneso- 

 sternal process is strongly curved, slender and acute. The front 

 tibia is acute at the apex and without a lateral tooth. 



cJ. The front tibia and tarsus are much shorter and thicker 

 than those of the female, the inner front claw strongly dilated, 

 and the longer spur of the hind tibia elongated, strongly curved 

 and knobbed at the end.

It is oval and a little depressed, with 

 the clypeus broad, and its margin very
